Customized for the Perfect Fit
Creating such superlative tooth restorations calls for close, effective communication between you and your dentist, Dr. Shabo. Everyone's smile is different, so each restoration must be customized to your individual characteristics:
- Lip line
- Gum line
- Translucency and opacity
- Skin tones
- Facial characteristics
We need to consider all of the subtle nuances that make your smile as unique as your fingerprints.
Your Smile Stest Drive
Once your smile design has been blueprinted, impressions will be taken of the teeth. This will allow Dr. Shabo to create a smile design wax-up; a model of what your new smile will look like. This model is used to create temporary porcelain veneer tooth restorations that can be put on right over your smile. This "trying on" allows the dentist to check such important aesthetics as shape, contour, color and size of the restorations.
Our patients are always thrilled with the way their new smile looks and fits! Minor adjustments can be made in the fit but rarely are any necessary. When style and fit have been approved, the patient's teeth are then prepared so that temporary restorations can be worn for the typical two week period it takes for our lab of expert ceramists to create the finished porcelain restorations. There is also a two day "express" service available for your convenience.
"It's instant gratification because from the first visit, when they leave with their temporary restorations, their teeth are already looking beautiful." -Chattanooga dentist, Dr. Drew Shabo, DDS
When your finished beautiful, durable and natural looking porcelain veneers have been bonded into place, you can expect them to last for many years. That picture perfect smile that you have always dreamed about is now a reality! |
