Lorraine from Monaco wanted porcelain veneers without grinding down her natural teeth 

 

No Grinding Porcelain Veneers - Instant Braces

When Lorraine read about Lumineers, she got excited - she loved the idea of a porcelain veneer that didn't require grinding down her natural teeth. Lorraine desperately wanted to improve her smile, but was leery because she had seen so many porcelain veneers that looked unnatural and fake. That was a real turnoff for Lorraine and her circle of friends - even her dentist advised against it, because he had concerns for her oral health and the possibility of having grinding done on her teeth.

Then Lorraine heard about Dr. Sam Muslin and his instant braces system - and she knew that this was the technique she had been waiting for! Although she lived halfway around the world in Monaco, Lorraine flew to Los Angeles and met with Dr. Muslin. The clincher was seeing the photos of Dr. Muslin's before and after work with instant braces, and in his office she saw more photos that showed patients who had done the complete instant braces treatment - they looked fantastic, and she knew that her dream of a straighter smile could be a reality!

Treatment With Instant Braces

Dr. Muslin advised Lorraine to get her gums completely healthy and to start the cosmetic process with dental whitening. After taking a full set of dental X-rays, stone models of her teeth, a wide variety of face photos and closeups of her teeth, she was ready to have her first instant braces treatment.

Because Lorraine came from so far away, Dr. Muslin scheduled a special accelerated treatment program, handling 14 teeth in just 4 days. Since Dr. Muslin works with his own ceramist, the two of them were able to produce the porcelain veneers, porcelain crowns and bridges that Lorraine needed, using computer imagery to get the exact dimensions correct. With so little time in which to work, there was no room for error!

Straight Teeth In Just 4 Days! - Instant Braces

Dr. Muslin's patients often come from great distances for his unique services, so he is experienced in providing the type of timely and efficient care that these patients need, while still being sure to handle every patient’s individual needs in a comprehensive and thorough way. Lorraine's work went perfectly, and she was thrilled with the new appearance of her teeth. A couple of her teeth required some minimal grinding, but overall she was able to get her instant braces quickly and without having to grind down her natural enamel.

The "after" photograph of Lorraine shows her teeth right after the veneers were bonded into place. Lorraine looked great after just a few hours in the chair; since her teeth needed only slight grinding, there was no need for shots or dental anesthesia.

Lorraine flew back to Monaco the day after her treatment, and wrote a letter thanking Dr. Muslin for the terrific results in her teeth and face, writing "Even my dentist was impressed with my straight teeth and the quality of your work. Thank you Dr. Muslin!"
