Cosmetic Dentistry -
Porcelain Veneers and Crowns

Amber from Los Angeles was always self-conscious about her smile - untill she met Dr Sam Muslin

High Tech Cosmetic Dentistry

By the time Amber moved to Los Angeles, she had developed a real self-consciousness about her smile, and wanted to improve her looks by straightening and whitening her teeth. When a friend referred her to Dr. Sam Muslin of Santa Monica, she didn't have any idea of how much cosmetic dental care she could receive in a short time.

A patient with Amber's profile would normally need to wear bracers for years, and retainers for a lifetime. Amber did not want to do that, and told Dr. Muslin - do what you can in a week! Because Dr. Muslin has his own custom dental porcelain lab, he was able to complete Amber's porcelain crowns and porcelain veneers in Los Angeles in just days. Amber was optimistic!

A Cross-Bite Is A Bad Bite

Dr. Muslin's concern is always the health of his patients, so he developed a comprehensive treatment plan to balance Amber's bite. She had a bilateral cross-bite and teeth that were crooked. Because Amber will not wear braces or use orthodontic care, cosmetic dentistry provides her with a healthy bite by using a combination of porcelain veneers and porcelain crowns. Bite correction gives Amber a huge health benefit over the long term, and it also improves her bite stability. (View Marilyn's bite correction Porcelain Veneers case study for another fine example.)

Thin Tooth Enamel

Teeth with a large amount of translucency in the natural dental enamel generally have a gray appearance. Even using top-rated teeth bleaching products like Zoom II, BriteSmile, Crest Whitening Strips, or Opalescence, Amber's teeth would still look gray because of her thin enamel. People whose tooth enamel is thin don't generally get good results from whitening solutions, so Dr. Muslin recommends porcelain veneers and crowns as the most effective way to achieve permanently whitened teeth.

Huge Compliments

After being treated by Dr. Muslin, Amber says, "I now get compliments on my teeth. People tell me that my teeth look great and think they are totally natural. One guy said that he could not tell even after looking closely. I feel great about my teeth."
