Cosmetic dentistry is a very rewarding profession for me to practice. My name is Dr. Richard O'Braitis. After 11 years of practice, I strongly believe that giving someone a beautiful smile is the most rewarding part of my profession. Our smile creates the symmetry of our face and by using porcelain veneers in my cosmetic dentistry, the results are wonderful. See more information at www.drobraitis.com. Practicing in Mission Viejo allows me to have some of the best patients I could possibley have. Orange County patients, consisting of families from Mission Viejo, Aliso Viejo, San Clemente, and Newport Beach are some of the most educated patients regarding cosmetic dentistry. I am proud to be a dentist is in South Orange County and the community of Mission Viejo.
Our patient presented to the office wanting to have her smile brighter and whiter. Cosmetic dentistry was discussed and the use of all porcelain material in her smile makeover was considered as some of our options.
As a cosmetic dentist, the use of all porcelain veneers and porcelain crowns gives us our optimal results. With porcelain veneers and crowns, we no longer get the silver band of metal that shows at the gum line ( as seen in the photo above).
For our dental patient above, we began by whitening her smile using our laser whitening procudure called Zoom. Zoom whitening allows us to whiten the stains in someones smile. We can whiten teeth by 8-10 shades in one visit. Zoom whitening is a great way to start to makeover your smile. After the Zoom teeth whitening procedure on our patient. We placed two all porcelain crowns on her to front teeth. Her front teeth had been previously root canal treated. In cosmetic dentistry, veneers may or may not be the ideal option. In this dental case, veneers could not be used. We chose two all porcelain crowns to achieve our desired cosmetic smile results.
