Now Is the Time for Beautiful Smiles With Porcelain Veneers

In a world that focuses so intensely on appearance, it is difficult to feel good about yourself   when something has gone wrong with your smile. I have had patients come to me with teeth that were terribly mottled or stained, crooked, broken down, worn out, cracked or chipped. Some patients have even had teeth so short they hardly showed when they smiled and some have had congenital abnormalities. They all came to me looking for a way to look better, feel more confident and regain the joy that life has to offer. And they left with a spring in their steps and a high-wattage smile!

What happened after their first visit to make them so happy? Often it was porcelain dental veneers. Porcelain veneers have become one of my most versatile and beautiful solutions to a wide range of cosmetic problems. I never hesitate to recommend them.

What's Different About Today's Veneers?

New porcelain technology from top labs looks amazingly natural with the subtle layers, shading and texture that a natural tooth has. New veneers are also much stronger than veneers in the past, partly because the new materials are better, but also because bonding techniques and materials have improved. Not all dentists offer top quality porcelain veneers, so be sure to look at patient before and afters and to ask the doctor about his or her labs. You can see some of my patients and case studies at www.lifesmiles.us.

Is Doctor Training Important for the Placement of Veneers?

Just as with any dental procedure, up-to-date training in the design and placement of porcelain dental veneers is crucial. I always want to offer my patients the very best and so I have studied passionately and earned a Mastership in the Academy of General Dentistry. Now, I not only continue my own training, but I also lecture and guide other dentists all over the country.

How do Porcelain Veneers Work?

Porcelain Dental Veneers work by covering your teeth with a beautiful replacement surface. The strongest and most durable veneers I offer require a small amount of your own tooth to be removed and are therefore not reversible. If you want a reversible option, I also offer Lumineers veneers. After the teeth are prepared, we take a series of measurements and impressions that the lab and I will use to create the veneers. Each veneer is individually crafted to fit you and suit your coloration, your personality and your smile. Even gender is taken into consideration because typically, male teeth and female teeth look subtly different. Once the veneers are created, you will return to the office for placement. The veneers are permanently bonded into place for a stunningly beautiful and natural looking new smile.

About the Author

Dr. Mitchmore received his doctorate from the University of Texas in Houston, and has been honored to be named a Master of the Academy of General Dentistry based on his continuing postgraduate education. He has also won a prestigious spot in Houston's Top Docs since 2003, and he lectures to other dentists all over the country.

One of Dr. Mitchmore's greatest delights comes from helping people find their inner smile. He knows that there is more to dentistry than simply fixing teeth – when he isn't giving a superbly healthy smile to his patients, he is giving a smile to his community.

He volunteers for Give Back a Smile, the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry's project to restore the broken and damaged teeth of survivors of domestic violence. He spent many years on the board of directors for Bering Omega Community Services, a service that provides compassionate healthcare and social services to people living with HIV/AIDS. In fact, his list of involvements is just too long to print. He is always getting involved in the idea of helping people and giving something back to his beloved community. And when Dr. Mitchmore gets excited about a project, everyone around him feels it and gets passionate about giving back too. In fact, in 2008 he was appointed to the Board of Trustees of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry Charitable Foundation and holds an Academy of General Dentistry (AGD) Mastership.

Dr. Mitchmore is certified in IV sedation and has advanced dental education from the Pankey Institute in Key Biscayne, the Center for Professional Development in Scottsdale, Arizona, The Dawson Academy of St. Petersburg, Florida and is one of only 700 doctors worldwide to have completed the full Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Cosmetic Studies (LVI) curriculum. That is education you can trust.
