Beware Veneers Pricing: You Could Get What You Pay For

12/29/2009

What you pay for is what you get when it comes to veneers and cosmetic dentistry, it seems. Beverly Hills cosmetic dentist, Kourosh Maddahi, assists patients throughout the Los Angeles area. Much of Dr. Maddahi’s caseload involves refurbishing shoddy and improperly made veneers.
 
Dr. Maddahi is renowned for his expertise and excellence with porcelain veneers. Certain aspects of selecting the dentist to use for veneer work absolutely cannot be disregarded.
 
When shopping for the best price on porcelain veneers, choosing inexpensive veneer work, or just deciding upon a cosmetic dentist because they are situated nearby or are perhaps your family dentist, can be a potential liability. You really do need an expert veneers dentist.
 
It can be presumed that all dentists are similar in quality and that some merely choose to charge less for an equal product. Sorry, but this just is not the case. The maxim, “you get what you pay for” is, over and over again, a painfully true adage in dentistry.
 
Some veneers will easily chip, crack or fracture. Veneers can simply fall off. Often, inferior veneers will change color. Incorrectly veneered teeth can also develop sensitivity to biting or to hot and cold. Veneers that have been inaccurately placed or prepared can cause bleeding or infected gums, leading to pain. Veneers can throw off the bite, also causing pain.
 
When choosing a dentist for veneers it is important to use the following checklist, provided by Dr. Maddahi, which will assist in the selection of a high quality set of veneers.

 
Choose:
Top quality materials
Top quality aesthetics
A skilled dental team
Cutting-edge technology
Superior training Comfort
Extensive experience
Confidence
Excellent patient/doctor rapport
Convenience

Avoid:
Low quality veneer materials
Inferior bonding material
Poor quality aesthetics
Substandard training
An inexperienced dental team
Incorrectly prepped teeth
Careless bonding
Discomfort and pain
Discoloration of veneer
Inferior office quality
 
Additionally, it is another truth in dentistry that the aesthetic eye of the cosmetic dentist is rarely taught, learned or developed. Since a very early age, Dr. Maddahi has had an eye for the aesthetics, and that is why he chose this field. There are hundreds of his cases available to review and thereby witness his rare ability.
 
One patient explains, “My entire life I was told that I needed braces to correct my unsightly smile. Actually, I had such a drastic aesthetic mess, that I had been told that most likely braces would not even fully correct my smile. In just 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.”
 
The fact that veneers can look so good can be the most obvious mishap if endeavoring to spend less for a smile reconstruction. Veneers can made to look too fat, too long, too square, too yellow, too white or too opaque.

What should have been a beautiful and natural-looking new smile can be a fresh cause for humiliation.

Therefore, you can see that your choice for a veneer dentist must be very competent and highly qualified, as well as particularly experienced. Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, Los Angeles porcelain veneer dentist, is thereby the perfect choice. He offers no-charge porcelain veneers consultations at his convenient Beverly Hills dentist office located nearby Pacific Palisades, West LA and West Hollywood.
