A Beautiful Smile with Porcelain Veneers

Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, one the top Cosmetic Dentists in Beverly Hills, specializes in creating beautiful, natural-looking smiles with porcelain veneers.
Porcelain veneers can be used to repair a variety of dental issues both restorative and cosmetic. In as little as two dental visits, patients can transform their dingy, stained and yellowed smile to a whiter, brighter and healthier-looking smile. Veneers also can be used to help restore misaligned, broken, chipped or cracked teeth.
A veneer is a very thin, custom-made shell that is placed over the natural tooth. Once the veneers are placed, they are very durable, as well as stain resistant. Many dentists prefer porcelain veneers to the composite-style veneers because the porcelain material has a natural-looking luster, translucency and appearance.
Dr. Maddahi combines his artistic skill with state-of-the-art dental technology, like the Shade Vision System and The Wand, during the porcelain veneer procedure. The Shade Vision System is used to evaluate the color of the natural teeth and help determine which color the veneers should be. The Wand is an anesthetic delivery device that slowly administers the dental anesthetic for a virtually painless procedure.
According to Dr. Maddahi, “Countless patients have had smile makeovers with porcelain veneers. This procedure allows patients to improve the color, shape and alignment of their teeth in just a few appointments. The result is a natural-looking, attractive smile.”
