Porcelain Veneers "Smile Design"

The Perfect Smile 

Smile Design is a special procedure that Dr. Bashawaty and a small group of highly trained dentist in the country are doing. The phrase says it all. Creating a smile that enhances the appearance and overall well-being of the individual.  The smile that sends a strong message about who you are. The process consists of determining exactly what to achieve, and by designing the smile that reflects what the patient wants.

By using Veneers, any cracked, discolored, or crooked teeth can become straight and natural looking.  The procedure itself involves Contouring and Shaping to allow the adhering of the veneer designed especially to achieve the patients’ goal. These Veneers mirror natural teeth in beauty and longevity.  The Veneers mimic enamel and have the look and feel and Bio-compatibility of natural teeth.

Often people come to South Coast Dental knowing how they don’t want their teeth to look.  We use our experience and training combined with a truly artistic flair, to help them design the smile of their dreams.  When smile design is done well, the results are indistinguishable from nature.  This process is very technically demanding not every dentist had the artistic ability or the extensive knowledge required to produce these results. Smile design is a painless life altering experience.

Dental Implants

Despite improvements in dental care, millions of Americans suffer tooth loss – mostly due to tooth decay, gingivitis (gum disease), or injury. For many years, the only treatment options available for people with missing teeth were bridges and dentures. But, today, dental implants are available. Dental implants are replacement tooth roots. Implants provide a strong foundation for fixed (permanent) or removable replacement teeth that are made to match your natural teeth
