Porcelain Veneers - Instant Orthodontics
in Dallas, Texas
Instant orthodontics can transform a crooked, uneven smile to one that's straight and white in just two or three visits to Dallas cosmetic dentist Gary Alhadef's office. And the best thing about instant orthodontics is there are no metal braces. When we hear the word "braces," most of us think of those unattractive, uncomfortable metal wires on teeth that had to be tightened once a month at the orthodontist's office. Well, that is no longer the case.
Dr. Alhadef will explain to you that instant orthodontics accomplish the same results as traditional orthodontics but in much less time and with less discomfort. Basically, instant orthodontics involve the artistic application of porcelain veneers, which are thin shells of fired porcelain that are placed on the front surfaces of your teeth. They offer a natural look and feel and allow Dr. Alhadef to dramatically change the length, width, color and shape of a tooth. Veneers will restore your teeth to their natural beauty and will resist staining, helping to create a long lasting white, bright, and straight smile.
Instant orthodontics can change your smile in a fraction of the time metal braces do.
The Process
Once Dr. Alhadef determines which teeth need to be veneered, he will take an impression of your teeth and send that impression to a lab with precise instructions on what is to be done. The lab creates a "wax up," which is a wax model of how your enhanced smile will look. You and Dr. Alhadef will examine this model and make changes. Once the model is perfect, the lab will be given approval to proceed with your permanent "teeth."
Once the wax model is approved, Dr. Alhadef will prepare your teeth and fit you with a temporary. When the porcelain veneers are ready, the temporaries are removed and the porcelain veneers are bonded to the teeth.
Patients can expect recovery to be about the same as with any dental procedure. Your gums may be a bit tender and a swollen for a couple of days after the porcelain veneers are bonded to your teeth. Dr. Alhadef may instruct you to take over-the-counter pain medication for any discomfort you feel.
