This gentleman could not chew normally with his worn down and chipped teeth. This was an extensive case where the vertical dimension was restored with crowns. The front teeth were lengthened so that the bite was balanced, the teeth could now show when he speaks or smiles, and are now able to function.

Our New York team used porcelain veneers to correct this smile. Her smile was widened and brightened and her facial structure was considerably improved. Her lips are fuller, her face is no longer pinched, and her cheeks are not sunken in. It is now built out and she has a cheekbone effect. Both upper and lower teeth were enhanced with porcelain veneers to create this patient's overall improvement.

By building out the upper and lower teeth with porcelain veneers, Dr. Smigel was able to soften the deep naso-labial line(from her nose to the corner of her lips) and eliminate the drooping at the corners of her mouth. Her lips are much fuller and her face appears to be lifted with a high cheekbone effect.

FAQ's
Q: “What are implants?”
A: Dental implants are made of titanium and placed directly into your jawbone surgically. Then a crown, bridge or denture is placed over the implants and yield permanent, natural-looking teeth that don't have to be removed nightly.
Q: “What's the difference between dental bonding and porcelain veneers?”
A: Dental bonding is a tooth colored (composite) resin material that is light activated and done in one visit (little tooth reduction, no anesthesia required). Porcelain veneers can mask dark stains better with a more durable porcelain material. They are very thin veneers of porcelain that are bonded to your teeth. Although this procedure takes two visits, laminate/veneers are stronger than dental bondings and less prone to staining.
Q: “What is 'plaque' and how does it affect my teeth?”
A: Plaque is a colorless, sticky film of bacteria that constantly forms on teeth. If left undisturbed, the bacteria in the plaque produce byproducts that can not only irritate the gums and make them bleed, but it can also lead to periodontal disease. A daily regimen of proper brushing, flossing and rinsing (plus, regular dental visits), will help you keep your teeth healthy.
Q: “My old fillings in the front have turned dark, can they be bleached?”
A: Unfortunately, bonding and composite resin fillings cannot be bleached. Polishing may help but if not, you can have the surface of the fittings redone. A better choice may be to replace them with porcelain laminate/veneers for longer lasting results. Remember, only replace these fillings after bleaching or BriteSmile whitening your teeth in order to match the new improved color of your own natural tooth.
