Veneers


Dental Veneers are thin shells that are custom crafted and bonded to the surface of the teeth. Although they can be fabricated from different materials, Dr. Hadi Akl , most often uses porcelain because of its durability and realistic appearance. Veneers require minimal tooth preparation, relative to other cosmetic dental procedures, veneers can achieve outstanding improvements in color, alignment, size discrepancies, and general appearance.

Veneer Cases

Discolored chipped and crowded

Problems: Discolored, chipped and crowded front teeth

Resolution: BriteSmile and DaVinci Veneers

 

The patient was self-conscious about the crowdedness between his teeth. This patient has been in our practice for many years and knew of our commitment to quality and our reputation for cosmetic excellence.

Four DaVinci Veneers was all that was needed to make a very handsome smile for this patient with ideal proportions and shading his teeth look incredibly natural. We were able to coordinate his appointments and the lab schedule to make his trip efficient and successful.

Yellowed teeth

Problems: Yellowed teeth, missing lateral incisors, chipped back teeth

Resolution: Tooth bleaching, DaVinci Veneers, nightguard

 

Besides the obvious yellowness of the patients’ teeth, he is missing his lateral incisor teeth (smaller incisors next to the two larger central incisors). As a result, the cuspid teeth (“eye teeth” or “canine teeth”) are in the wrong position. This is not an uncommon problem and is treated in a variety of different ways depending on when the problem is discovered. He also did not like the chipped edges and the blotchy appearance to his back teeth.

The first thing that was done was Tooth Bleaching. Eight DaVinci Veneers were fabricated producing more natural tooth proportions and increased length. A Nightguard was fabricated to help prevent future wear and chipping.

Severe tetracycline stains

Problem: Severe tetracycline stains

Resolution: DaVinci Veneers

 

The patient had severe tetracycline stains that she endured since her permanent teeth erupted. Four veneers were placed many years ago at a very young age on her incisor teeth. The years had passed and her teeth erupted to their final position showing some of her natural teeth at the gum area. She wanted to improve the front teeth and hide the discoloration of her cuspid teeth.

Six beautifully crafted DaVinci Veneers were all that was necessary to solve her years of embarrassment when she smiled. The patient literally cried happy tears when we revealed her new smile.

Future Considerations: When she can afford it to we plan to place veneers on her lower front teeth as well. Fortunately, she doesn’t show them much except sometimes during speech.
