The Art of Smile Renovation

Cosmetic dentistry is much more than changing the appearance of teeth. It is the art of renovating a smile to satisfy a patient's expectations and providing the technical skill necessary to meet the standards of care.

The best results enhance the appearance of your teeth and also improves your well being. Healthy dentistry is created with restorations that have perfect margins, natural contours, surface texture and translucency on the porcelain crowns or veneers.

The teeth need to be proportioned to the face, the gums should be healthy and the bite perfectly balanced. The doctor's artistic talent and abilities are put to the test while creating the look that the patient wants and maintaining or improving health and comfort.

For the best dentistry in Los Angeles you owe it to yourself to study the work of Sam Muslin DDS MAGD (MASTER - Academy of General Dentistry). Be sure to read Dr. Muslin's Cosmetic Dentistry in Los Angeles blog.

Bright White Teeth

With more than 30 years of reconstruction and cosmetic experience, Sam Muslin, DDS, MAGD, has found that each patient has a different notion of a "perfect smile". Some patients want the most natural looking smile while others demand super white, "Hollywood" teeth. The bright white teeth may not look completely natural, but some patients reason that their hair color is not natural, they wear make-up, which is not natural, and their lips are not naturally red… but it collectively looks good. The patient often agrees that "too white" porcelain veneers or porcelain crowns do not look natural, but they want white teeth because to them it look's great. As one of his 79 year old patients said to him, "Get with it doctor, white teeth are in"!

Natural Porcelain Veneers

A natural looking outcome is very important to some patients, but even those who want a "natural look" are concerned with whiter teeth. In order to achieve the individualized look that will satisfy the patient's requirements, this web site features a huge "before and after" photo gallery that shows a wide variety of cases completed in Dr. Sam Muslin's office. When viewing the "before and after" photos, some patient's will say, "I want my teeth to look like Lisa's or Melissa's . . ." The patient will select the photos of a patient that has the type of look that they see for themselves. It is important to choose a Los Angeles Dentist who showcases many "before and after" photos of their work. However, beware! Some doctors buy photo albums or photos of models instead of showing pictures of their actual patients.

Bad Cosmetic Dentistry

The skill of the doctor is not determined by where he or she is located or how expensive the office looks; there is no substitute for experience. They should have a variety of impressive photography of their work to clearly demonstrate their skills with different patients.

Bad Dentistry results when a patient chooses a doctor without looking at results of similar dental case studies. Bad dentistry generally has technical flaws and ends up making a patient very unhappy. Common examples include:

  • The cosmetic dentistry is not natural looking
  • Porcelain veneers or crowns that are too thick or bulky looking
  • The porcelain veneer dentistry lacks surface texture or natural tooth anatomy
  • Teeth are too opaque, which means they lack translucency
  • The bite was never correctly treated and may cause the porcelain veneers fall off
  • The dental bonding technique was not properly completed, causing porcelain veneers to fall off
  • The gums are swollen around the veneers because the porcelain isn’t suitably contoured
  • The patient is unhappy because they don’t like the veneers were never given the opportunity to see the porcelain veneers or crowns before the dentist bonded them in place
  • The teeth do not harmonize with the patients face, lips nor smile or are not at the best angles
  • The cosmetic work does not look good and the doctor does not know why

Solutions to Bad Dentistry

Patients who are unhappy with their dental work do not have live with the resulting discomfort. Dr. Muslin has come across many patients who are looking to fix their bad dentistry. (For examples of patients who have received solutions to their bad dental care, see Sama, Rod or Dennis.) After the first time around, these patients have learned a lot about how they would like their teeth to look.

Replacing the existing bad porcelain veneers and bad porcelain crowns gives the patient the opportunity to achieve exceptional results. Patients who have experienced bad cosmetic dentistry, and have lived with it for a period of time, can analyze their smile, the teeth, the bite and gums and become highly sophisticated in their attention to detail. (See Sama)

The cosmetic demands of today’s patient are higher than ever before, and existing dentistry can often times be improved. A patient who is unhappy with his or her dental results usually has nothing against the dentist, personally, but realizes that the doctor's skills could not deliver the level of care that they desired. (See Dennis)

Most of the time, the best solution for bad dentistry is to remove the existing porcelain veneers or porcelain crowns. With the technology available in his office, Dr. Muslin can achieve this task quickly and easily, in just one visit. Temporary teeth (that often look better than previous dental work) are placed, and within a few weeks, or even days, the finished porcelain is completed for the patient to evaluate. (See Rod)

Dr. Muslin increases the likelihood of success by carefully photographing every patient with a full series of full-face and close-up photos. He works on every dentistry patient’s porcelain work personally and utilizes his computer systems to communicate with his ceramist. Dr. Muslin makes the final decisions on teeth design, shape, color and angles. View the untouched and unaltered “before and after” photos of his patients in this site and you will see that the results speak for themselves.

Each patient photo is a personal testimonial of the work of Sam Muslin, DDS MAGD (MASTER - Academy of General Dentistry), since the patients have volunteered their photos without any compensation.
