Porcelain Dental Veneers

Drs. Allen Ressler, Andrew Hirschl, and Ira Lelchuk of Miami Dental offer Porcelain Dental Veneers to our patients. Dental veneers are thin durable porcelain shells that are placed over your natural teeth. This gives you the chance to have the smile that you’ve always dreamed of. Dental veneers can correct issues such as stained, cracked, broken, and gapped teeth. They look completely natural, impossible to differentiate from natural teeth.

 

It takes 2-3 appointments for the veneer process to be complete. At your first appointment, you will meet with one of our dentists for a consultation. There are many different options that come with dental veneers. They are as versatile as you are, so it is recommended that you do some individual research beforehand. This will help you get a better idea of how you want your new smile to look. The major two aesthetic choices are the shape and color of the veneers. For shape, the two options come down to rounded and square. It is a common misbelief that rounded veneers are more feminine, while square veneers are more masculine. This is not true. We offer the best shape for your particular mouth regardless of gender. In terms of color, the shading of the veneers goes from natural all the way to Hollywood levels of brightness. Once all the decisions have been made, the next part of the process can begin.

 

Your teeth will be prepared for the laminates. During this process, the dentist will take an impression of your teeth. This impression is what will be used to create your custom veneers. It is sent to a dental laboratory to be made. It will take about 10-14 days. We will provide you with temporary veneers during this time. At your final appointment, your permanent veneers will be bonded to your teeth.

What is Cosmetic Dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry is a type of dentistry that is aimed at creating a positive change to your teeth and to your smile.

Tips for a Nice Smile

With selfies and instant photo sharing taking over the internet, our staff at Miami Dental wants you to have a camera-ready smile at all times. With a variety of cosmetic services to choose from, we can enhance your smile anyway you’d like. However, if there is any reason you can’t go the cosmetic route at this moment, we will provide you with these tips that will give you a photogenic smile no matter what.

• Be natural – when it’s picture time, smile gently. That way, your face looks relaxed. Your mouth opens slightly, and your lower lip matches the curve of your upper teeth.


• Check your teeth and gums – getting your smile camera-ready sometimes calls for a little behind the scenes prep work. If your pearly whites have yellowed with age, try an over-the-counter whitening product or pay us a visit! Also, don’t forget about taking care of your gums. They play a critical role in your nice smile. So keep them in good shape by brushing, flossing, and rinsing with a mouthwash every day.


• Practice – your perfect smile may not happen overnight, but if you have a big photo event like a wedding or a graduation coming up, it doesn’t hurt to try out your grin in front of the mirror!
