They say that your smile is the window to your soul. Not only is a smile the first thing many people notice when meeting someone new, but a bright and cheerful smile can also display confidence and good health.
In fact, research has found that people with beautiful smiles are perceived to be more trustworthy and generally appealing than their scowling counterparts, becoming instant sensations in social circles, potential love interests, and professional settings.

When you think of a perfect smile, the infamous Hollywood smile may come to your mind. Many people move ahead in pursuit of this stunning smile with teeth whitening, braces, or white fillings. However, most of the picture-perfect celebrity smiles are not created with any of these procedures, but with veneers!
Interestingly, Hollywood paved the way for this much-adored cosmetic procedure back in 1928. A famous celebrity dentist named Dr. Charles Pincus came up with veneers as a way to enhance the smile of the on-screen actors during this era.
At that time, these veneers could become nothing more than a temporary solution, easily removable at the end of the day. Today, with innovations in dentistry, veneers have become a permanent solution to conceal flawed teeth — and a trademark of Hollywood.
According to the American Dental Association (ADA), dental veneers are wafer-thin shells or coverings that are placed on the front (visible) surface of the teeth with the objective of enhancing aesthetics and protecting the weakened structure of the teeth.
Because they look like natural teeth, they are often the first choice for teens and young adults.
Made with tooth-colored materials, they perfectly mask cosmetic or dental imperfections such as stained, chipped, uneven, or fractured teeth. Dental veneers are completely customized to fit your unique needs. This means the shape, size, color, and even texture can be altered to precisely match your natural set of pearly whites.
Also known as laminates, these are extremely thin shells made of strong and durable porcelain, specially fabricated in a laboratory. They are fully customizable and look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
These can be fabricated and placed in your mouth in a single appointment. They are tooth-colored and more cost-effective, though not as stain-resistant as porcelain veneers.
Dental veneers are remarkable prostheses used to refine even the dullest of smiles. Dr. Diaz evaluates you to see if you fit the ideal candidacy for dental veneers and helps beautify your smile no matter what the dental mishap.
