Veneers and Laminates
Porcelain veneers are a "treatment for all seasons" that can correct many types of cosmetic problems: covering discolored teeth, lengthening teeth, mending chips, hiding spaces between teeth, or just refreshing your smile. They're that versatile.
A veneer is a finely crafted porcelain covering that lays on top of the existing tooth. A small portion of your tooth is smoothed away to accommodate the extra bulk of the veneer. The veneer is then bonded directly to the tooth. (Similar to an artifical press on fingernail, but much stronger.)
The main advantage of veneers is to provide a fresh new smile without major cutting down of tooth surfaces. The result is a beautiful, long lasting restoration that won't stain over time like a tooth colored filling can.
Below, you will see results from actual patients of Dr. Mohajir.
This patient had spaces left after she had her braces removed.
She chose to close those spaces with veneers.
This patient had many spaces between his teeth and was not interested in braces, veneers were done on his upper front teeth and a porcelain bridge was done on his lower front teeth.
This patient had a very traumatic bite, his front teeth constantly slammed into one another causing constant chipping and cracking of his teeth. Instead of getting new bonded fillings every few months, the patient opted for veneers on his upper front four teeth and an adjustment of his bite to relieve the pressure.
This patient had older discolored bondings on his front teeth, he wasn't happy with their shape or color. He chose veneers rather than having to go through braces and new bondings.
