You Can Smile Again Thanks to Dental Veneers

Tooth restoration has really changed over the last few years, and if you have been considering Cosmetic Dentistry have a chat with your Dentist in Rancho Mirage, Dr. Randall Szutz.

Your dentist has the skills to correct what used to be known as permanent dental problems including chipped, cracked, or worn teeth, and crowded or crooked teeth. Schedule an appointment with your Dentist in Rancho Mirage who can also replace missing teeth, fix gaps between your teeth, and help with general bite dysfunction. If your teeth are discolored or stained, Dr. Szutz can help.

Ten years ago, the only people who could afford dental veneers were people who made six figures. Celebrities and those in the public eye would visit a cosmetic dentist to improve their smile. These days nearly everyone can have beautiful teeth with affordable dental veneers .

Porcelain veneers are bonded directly to the top and front of your tooth’s surface and are the perfect way to improve your smile. Schedule an appointment with your Rancho Mirage Dentist who will be able to determine if you are a good candidate for porcelain veneers. With porcelain veneers you can close those gaps that you have always disliked between your front teeth, repair that crooked or misshaped tooth or cover those unsightly stains that occurred after you finished your round of tetracycline.

According to your Dentist in Rancho Mirage, dental veneers are thin porcelain veneers that Dr. Szutz will bond to your teeth, and best of all, no one will know they are there except for you and your Rancho Mirage Dentist. Because the dental veneers are so thin, they look incredibly natural, especially when light shines right through them.

Dental veneers are the answer to your dental restoration problems. Schedule an appointment with your Dentist in Rancho Mirage today and start smiling again. Beautiful teeth really do make a difference to your overall well-being. Call for an appointment today. 

Bonding Could Be the Answer

Your Rancho Mirage Dentist has a wonderful alternative if you have been toying with the idea of veneers, but have been put off by the cost. Dental veneers do look natural, and if you are planning on cosmetically enhancing all of your teeth, Dental Veneers are probably the way to go, but according to Dr. Randall Szutz, bonding could be just the ticket if you only have a couple of teeth that require Cosmetic Dentistry in Rancho Mirage.

Bonding is a wonderful restorative treatment that is used to repair chips, cracks, discolorations, and misarranged teeth. Dental bonding is an alternative to Veneers, is much quicker, and can usually be completed in just one appointment with your Rancho Mirage Dentist.

When you schedule an appointment with your Dentist in Rancho Mirage, Dr. Szutz will examine your teeth for any decay or gum issues including gingivitis and periodontal disease. If you have been given the all clear, your Rancho Mirage Dentist will begin by etching the surface on the teeth that are to be bonded. Once etched your dentist will apply a bonding liquid. Once the liquid has set, the plastic resin will be applied and artistically sculpted by your Rancho Mirage Dentist who will then trim, smooth and polish your teeth giving your new smile a natural appearance.

Whether you are a candidate for dental bonding is really up to your dentist. The composite material used by Dr. Szutz is made up of quartz particle and resin and if you like to suck on hard candy or lemons, indulge in soda on a regular basis, or grind your teeth at night, dental bonding in Rancho Mirage may not be the best solution for your cosmetic dentistry issues.

Schedule an appointment with Dr. Szutz and the team from Country Club Dentistry in Rancho Mirage today for Cosmetic Dentistry, which could include bonding or veneers. After all, isn’t it time that you started smiling again? 

Rancho Mirage Dentist Dr. Szutz Discusses Porcelain Veneers

If you are looking to improve your smile, Cosmetic and Restorative Dentist Dr. Szutz of Country Club Dentistry can correct a range of dental problems with porcelain veneers.  Porcelain dental veneers can be an excellent way of addressing common dental conditions such as gaps between teeth, and teeth that are worn down, discolored, crooked or misshaped.

What exactly are porcelain veneers?

Porcelain veneers are wafer-thin shells of ceramic that bond directly to the front and top surfaces of the teeth to change the shape, size or general appearance of teeth.  

Veneers are becoming increasingly popular due to their simplicity and versatility. Dr. Szutz  individually crafts veneers for each patient using a unique combination of science and artistry and advanced technology.  The result is so natural looking, it is nearly impossible to tell the difference between a veneer and a natural tooth. 

Unlike natural teeth, custom-made veneers are highly resistant to stains from coffee and tea, and even cigarette smoke.  Veneers are quite durable as well. Generally, veneers last between 5 to 10 years.  With proper care and maintenance, veneers can have you smiling an improved smile for well over a decade.

The procedure of getting veneers at Country Club Dentistry in Rancho Mirage, CA can be done quickly over a period of three appointments:

Diagnosis and treatment planning

At this stage, Dr. Szutz will conduct a personal consultation with you at his office on Frank Sinatra Drive in Rancho Mirage, CA to discuss your dental concerns and help you design your new smile.  Dr. Szutz values and encourages doctor-patient communication.  In his opinion, an informed and involved patient is most likely to achieve the highest level of healthcare.

Preparation

To prepare teeth for the veneer, Dr. Szutz will remove approximately 1/2 millimeter of enamel from the tooth surface with buffing.  This is essential to allow for the added thickness of the veneer, and can be done with a local anesthetic.  Next, a dental impression is made and sent to a laboratory to make the veneers. The custom veneers should be ready in approximately three weeks.

Bonding

In this visit (generally lasting between one to two hours) Dr. Szutz will temporarily place the veneer on your teeth to check their fit and color. The exact color shade can be adjusted for the best match to your natural teeth.  Next, the tooth is cleansed with specific chemicals to achieve a bond. A special cement is placed between the teeth and the veneer and a light is used to harden the cement, in order for it to bond.

Veneers can be a great solution for gaps, stains, crooked teeth or fractured teeth.  However, it is important to be informed of the disadvantages of veneers.

Getting veneers is an irreversible process.  After 5-10 years, the veneers will need to be replaced.  Also, since some enamel is removed in order to bond the veneers, some patients may experience more sensitive teeth.  Dr. Szutz is available to further discuss the pro's and con's of porcelain veneers and help you decide if veneers are the best option for you and your smile. 

Country Club Dentistry is open Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m.
