Though instant gratification is not always the recipe for happiness, in the case of “instant orthodontics” via Porcelain Veneers, spontaneity and total satisfaction seem to go hand in hand. Dental bonding or Porcelain Veneers, in some cases the welcome substitute for drawn-out orthodontic procedures, is on the fast track to closing the gaps that only traditional braces could before. The most beautiful part of it all is that the whole process takes only a few visits over a two to three week period of time.
Dr. Al Fallah, a well known Southern California cosmetic and reconstructive dentist, representing a sector of the market where this procedure is red hot, explains, “Porcelain Veneers are offering an exciting new option for those seeking instantaneous gratification – the ‘orthodontics fix' on the teeth without the actual orthodontics procedure or its slow process.” There has never been a time that dental patients have been given more options than what they are being offered today. That factor, combined with lifestyles where there is everything except a whole lot of time, ensures that more and more patients will continue to turn to the option of Porcelain Veneers.
“Though the process of dental bonding is an old favorite,” explains Dr. Fallah, “the problem with older bonding techniques was the lack of luster to the teeth.” Now, with Porcelain Veneers, which are wafer-thin shells of porcelain less than one millimeter thick, the surface is extremely strong, and provides for much greater diversity and dynamism than previous dental bonding. Now there is a whole new luster which is offered by Porcelain Veneers because ceramic is translucent, allowing for a very natural look and vitality apparent when light shines on the veneers. And best of all, there is the instantaneous satisfaction factor, which allows everyone seeking this option to experience immediate results.
According to Dr. Fallah, “Patients are now offered a range of exciting options that simply didn't exist before. We can now recreate smiles by changing the shape or color of the teeth, by increasing or decreasing the space between teeth, and even by lengthening or shortening the size of a tooth.” Exhilarating changes are taking place at record pace in the cosmetic dental field, and the results can be seen on the faces of the many patients who choose to rejuvenate their smiles every year.
The first step to be taken in this Porcelain Veneers recreation process is to get a diagnostic wax. Next, an impression is taken and a prototype for the veneers is made. When the temporary veneers are attached, the patient can see if the new look in process is the one that was being sought, or not. If not, the process can be continued until the "perfect fit," color and shape of teeth is found.
Though not all orthodontic procedures can be addressed by Porcelain Veneers, it is a viable choice for more and more cosmetic dental patients who realize that dreams still can become reality, and sometimes very fast. The recreation and rejuvenation of your smile can be just a couple of weeks away. Perhaps the perfect recipe for happiness has been found – instantaneous gratification with a perfect smile to match. What a great combination!
