Failed Cosmetic Dentistry
The skill of the cosmetic dentist is not determined by where a dentist is located or how expensive the office looks; there is no substitute for experience. The cosmetic dentist should have a variety of impressive photography of their work to clearly demonstrate their cosmetic skills with different patients. Bad Cosmetic Dentistry results when a patient chooses a dentist without looking at the dentistry produced by that particular dentist. Bad cosmetic dentistry generally has technical flaws and ends up making a patient very unhappy.
10-Features of Bad Cosmetic Dentistry:
- 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 to 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 and were never given the opportunity to see the porcelain veneers or crowns before the cosmetic dentist bonded them in place
- The teeth do not harmonize with the patients face, lips and smile or are not at the best angles
- The cosmetic work does not look good and the cosmetic dentist does not know why

Solutions to Bad Cosmetic Dentistry
Patients who are unhappy with their cosmetic dental work do not have live with the discomfort from bad cosmetic dentistry. Dr. Muslin has come across many patients who are looking to fix their bad cosmetic dentistry. (For examples of patients who have received solutions to their bad cosmetic 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 cosmetic detail.
The cosmetic demands of today’s patient are higher than ever before, and existing cosmetic dentistry can often times be improved. A patient who is unhappy with his or her cosmetic dentistry usually has nothing against the dentist, personally, but realizes that the previous dentist could not deliver the level of care that they desired.

Most of the time, the best solution for bad cosmetic 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.
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 cosmetic 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.
