WASHINGTON, DC, January 08, 2009
/24-7PressRelease/ -- Straightening crooked teeth that shifted after childhood braces or lightening gray teeth that were discolored by a certain medication - these are easy work for today's amazing
porcelain veneers. The versatile porcelain restorations do heavy lifting when it comes to creating a beautiful new smile.
"The porcelains now are very good and versatile," says Dr. Peter Rinaldi, at the
Washington Center for Dentistry, in Washington, DC. "They mimic natural tooth structure. They're strong, reflect light, and are color-stable. And they allow us to be very conservative in our approach to rebuilding the tooth."
Dr. Rinaldi and the Washington Center for Dentistry are featured in the December 2008 Washingtonian magazine in an expansive 20-page spread that covers cosmetic dentistry from whitening to bonding to Invisalign braces to veneers.
The comprehensive article, "Get a Great Smile," highlights the Washington Center for Dentistry's approach to smile design: "With smile makeovers, we're looking at the whole unit - all the teeth, not a single tooth," says
Dr. Rinaldi. "Eye and skin color, lips, bite, smile, how you talk - it all interrelates. This is an art form, like good plastic surgery."
Also prominently displayed in the cosmetic dentistry article are before-and-after photos of our patients - proudly showing off their new smiles. "People said, 'Did you have your hair done? You look refreshed'," says Marti Lazear, who sports eight new veneers to correct teeth that shifted after wearing braces as a young girl. "I think it's from smiling more!" Lazear came to the Washington Center for Dentistry for a consult, and she had her lustrous Art-Sculpt veneers applied that very day.
And our patient Kimberly Jordan shows off her ten new veneers in the magazine article. The custom porcelain laminates were designed to turn her gray, unflattering teeth into a strong smile of confidence. "When I was a child, people asked 'Why are your teeth that color? " says Jordan, of the tetracycline dark stains on her teeth. She tried bonding, but that didn't work. Now the veneers "feel natural," she says.
And feeling like your new, beautiful smile is your "natural" smile, is the whole idea, says Dr. Rinaldi.
