The Benefits
What Cosmetic Dentistry Gives You
Cosmetic dentistry at Dr. Nahlah's practice starts with the finished smile and works backwards, so each treatment you choose serves one result you have already seen and approved.
Several Concerns, One Plan
Discolored, chipped, gapped or uneven teeth, an uneven gumline and an asymmetrical smile can be corrected together rather than one at a time.
Treated in the Right Order
The gumline comes first, then whitening, then porcelain matched to the shade your teeth end at, so nothing has to be redone.
Porcelain That Suits You
Veneers are hand-designed for size, shape and shade to complement your gum and lip line, facial features and skin tone.
Resists Stains
Porcelain does not stain the way natural enamel does, and it needs no special maintenance beyond daily brushing and flossing.
Strength Where It Counts
Crowns are durable and crack-resistant, and a crown cared for properly can generally last 15 years or more.
