I am a 28 year old male that is has currently about 6-7 months left on orthodontic treatment (braces). I want to get porcelain veneers after I finish treatment to achieve that perfect smile. How many veneers do you think would be best for me? I'll also need an implant, and to replace a few already existing crowns. Why do Beverly Hills cosmetic dentists seem to produce higher quality results than elsewhere ? Is it because of a better lab or better skills?

Answer: How to find the BEST porcelain veneers dentist that compares to those in Beverly Hills? You have plenty of time to due your due diligence in search of the Best porcelain veneers dentist for you. There are several factors that are involved in getting the type of result that you want for your smile. The three most important factors are the skill and experience of the dentist, the expertise of the dental lab technician, and the ability of the dentist, lab technician, and patient to communicate effectively. You, as the patient must be able to express your desires and expectations to the dentist, and discuss with him if they are attainable. Once the dentist understands your goals and desires, he along with the dental laboratory technician must create a blueprint for your smile. To do this will require a series of pre-operative photos and impressions, a written prescription including length, width, shape, and color of the porcelain veneers. Prior to doing any treatment or preparation of your teeth, a diagnostic wax up will be created, showing all of the above except color. This is a key component of your smile blueprint, and a step that cannot be skipped. Once you approve what you see in the wax-up, the dentist can then begin your treatment. On the day your teeth are prepared for the new porcelain veneers, the wax-up will be used to created your temporary veneers, which will duplicate in your mouth what you have approved in wax. Once your temporaries are created, you can wear them for a few days or a week to decide if you are happy with the appearance and how they feel(does the bite feel corrrect, how do your lips feel, how is your speech affected?) Once you give your approval, the dentist can have the dental lab technician fabricate your veneers in the shade that you have agreed upon. At the delivery visit, the dentist should try in your veneers so you can confirm that you are getting what you want and have agreed upon. This needs to be done prior to permanently bonding the veneers to your teeth. If all of these steps are followed, you will be assured of getting the result that you want.
