Do You Desire Porcelain Veneers? Why Working With the Best Will Leave You With Stellar Results

Porcelain veneers are among the most popular ways to achieve an amazing, confident smile. When you work with a qualified cosmetic dentist, you will be left with spectacular results that can last a lifetime. However, porcelain veneers can go very wrong, as many people have learned. What do we mean by this? Well, porcelain veneers are becoming more popular, and as a result, dentists across the country (and world) are adding this service to their professional repertoire. Unfortunately, many of these same dentists add this cosmetic service before they are fully qualified to perform the procedure.

The unfortunate reality is that unqualified dentists are more likely to use substandard materials and outdated techniques. For instance, they may rely on poor-quality metals or cements that discolor or fracture over time.

Dr. Maddahi has seen patients come in with broken veneers or crowns because their previous dentist used the wrong material to meet their needs. If an individual is prone to put more pressure on their teeth — perhaps they frequently clench or grind their teeth — they may require a harder material to ensure a long-lasting veneer. In addition to substandard materials, an unqualified dentist may lack the aesthetic eye required for cosmetic dentistry. Certain materials, such as a denser porcelain, don’t always offer a perfect match in terms of tooth coloration. This is why Dr. Maddahi works with master technicians who can craft the veneers to meet any patient’s needs. Master technicians have extensive backgrounds in working with veneers and crowns, and Dr. Maddahi only works with the best!

Unqualified dentists may produce less than stellar results. This isn’t because they’re bad dentists. In fact, they may be phenomenal dentists! But this doesn’t mean they will be phenomenal cosmetic dentists. This highlights the importance of working with a highly skilled

cosmetic dentist with an established background in cosmetic dentistry.
