Custom Ultra Thin Porcelain Veneers

Low Prep Pain Free Veneer Laminates

Dr. Muslin uses premium porcelain veneer materials that enable him to create veneer laminates that are as thin as a contact lens and have the translucence qualities of your real teeth.

The fitting process is virtually pain free. Unlike traditional porcelain veneers that require “tooth preparation” (i.e., existing tooth is ground down to accommodate a veneer), Dr. Muslin’s veneers frequently eliminate the need for grinding or shaping of the existing tooth. This is on a case by case basis depending on the patient’s wants and needs)

Because of the special fabrication techniques used by our dental lab, they are some of the thinnest porcelain laminate materials available today. There is no risk of having veneers that make your teeth appear “fat” or unusually “thick” (a common complaint with veneer makeovers).

For many patients there is no drilling… no grinding… no preparation whatsoever that would require the usual need for a local anesthetic.

Latest Update on Non-Invasive Porcelain Veneers

Non-Invasive Dentistry

The latest development in non-invasive or low prep dentistry are new high tech porcelains. The goal of non-invasive dentistry is to provide porcelain veneers or dental restorations that look natural but do not require the destruction of natural tooth structure. Lisa has porcelain veneers utilizing an older porcelain veneer technology that works extremely well and is very translucent and natural. However, other porcelain veneer technologies would be necessary if she had tetracycline stain or very dark teeth.

No-Pain Porcelain Veneers

High Tech Dental Porcelains

The brand name porcelain veneers are made of a variety of porcelain types and some of them are good and others are much better. The dentist has to know all of the types of porcelain in order to create the best possible porcelain crowns or porcelain veneers for the patient. The high tech porcelains have different optical properties that reflect light and had dark colored teeth in different manners. The optical properties of porcelain veneers that are matched to the needs of the patient produce ideal results. Cynthia had very dark teeth and so did Lilly. The colors of the old teeth had to be hidden so the right type of porcelain for the porcelain veneers was necessary to hide the dark colors.

Reshaping the Smile Line

Dr. Muslin is able to create truly dazzling, permanently white smiles by using custom thicknesses and shapes of feldspathic porcelain to create a cosmetic result that feels and looks natural. As the adjacent photo shows….this adult patient had great looking teeth that were quite healthy.

She did not like however the overall shape of her teeth. In some instances she also felt that some of her teeth lacked a certain bulk, or thickness.

This after photo reveals how dramatic veneer bonding can be. Most of the upper arch teeth now have the appearance of being fuller (more bulk) and do not taper inward. Gum reshaping and contouring was also performed to produce a very natural appearing harmony across all of the gingival tissues.
