When a patient arrives at the dentist ready to repair their teeth and makeover their smile, the first option presented, in most cases, are porcelain veneers. Why? Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, Los Angeles porcelain veneers dentist runs a prestigious dentist office in Beverly Hills and explains this revolutionary resolution for unsightly smiles.
“In most cases, porcelain veneers are the first solution that I consider when I have a patient who wants a natural looking, beautiful new smile.”, says Dr. Maddahi. “They can be done in two, maybe three appointments, in almost every case. Porcelain has the look and strength of the natural tooth structure more than any other material. Veneers can be used to correct discolored or worn teeth and are an excellent solution for uneven tooth spacing or alignment, or to cover chipped and cracked teeth.”
Although sometimes found to be less expensive, composite veneers are often just not the right choice. Veneers are best when created from porcelain, having the advantage of natural looking beauty and minimal tooth preparation. Even though porcelain is by itself a brittle substance, once firmly bonded to something sturdy, it becomes completely durable and strong.
Porcelain veneers are glass-like in structure, ceramic, and their translucent characteristic gives a lustrous appearance, making them the number one dental choice. The correction of flawed teeth, such as making teeth straighter and like-new is expected both professionally and in personal relationships. Porcelain veneers have been found as less likely to stain, much more sturdy when bonded to tooth structure, and they very rarely fracture or chip.
Teeth that over the years have needed to be corrected with braces can also be helped. Braces are known to be painful; they entail a very lengthy process - up to three years, and of course, are quite unsightly. Very often porcelain veneers can be used instead of braces, or sometimes combined with the use of orthodontics, in more severe cases.
One patient illustrates, “I was told my entire life that I needed braces. As a matter of fact, I had such a drastic orthodontic mess, that I had been told that most likely braces would not even fully correct my smile. In two appointments with Dr. Maddahi, one for three hours and the other for less than two, I now have a perfectly natural and beautiful smile. Honestly, it’s best that I waited to meet Dr. Maddahi.”
It’s amazing, time and again it has been reported that when veneers are done right many patients share their friends’ comments, telling us they are frequently asked, “Have you had a face lift?” or “Have you lost weight?” When considering a cosmetic dentist in Los Angeles for a smile makeover, Dr. Maddahi is truly a great choice. His expertise lies with combining aesthetics, high-tech procedures, the latest equipment and gentle dentistry, resulting in completely natural and beautiful new smiles.
