Instant Orthodontics

Instant orthodontics utilize some of the latest advances in cosmetic dentistry to provide patients with a completely redesigned smile in just a couple of visits to the dentist. At the Coleman Center for Cosmetic Dentistry in San Diego, California, Dr. Paul Coleman uses his artistic ability and the latest technological advancements in porcelain veneers to create a beautiful and straight smile for his eligible patients.

In our highly appearance-driven society, a crooked or uneven smile can cause a great deal of anxiety and significantly impact your self-confidence. Patients who suffer from less than perfect smiles due to genetics, an accident, or poor dental hygiene often feel embarrassed or out of place in a world where perfect smiles are favored and almost expected.

Am I a Candidate for Instant Orthodontics?

If you would like to know if you are a good candidate for receiving instant orthodontics, ask yourself the following questions:

• Am I unhappy with my current smile?
• Am I embarrassed to smile in public?
• Do I have crooked or uneven teeth?
• Do I have gaps between my teeth?
• Does my smile hold me back in personal and professional situations?
• Even though I've had braces, am I unhappy with the results?

If your answer to any of these questions is yes, then you should schedule a complimentary consultation to discuss your circumstances with Dr. Coleman.

How Do Instant Orthodontics Work?

Dr. Coleman generally performs this procedure using porcelain veneers. The placement of porcelain veneers requires an understanding of how a person's facial features relate to their teeth and smile. In order to successfully place the correct type of veneers for each patient's individual needs, Dr. Coleman must use his artistic vision to create the proper balance between tooth length, width, shape, color, and the patient's surrounding features.

First, Dr. Coleman will determine which teeth should be fitted with porcelain veneers. Next, an impression will be taken of your natural teeth to aid in the exact design of your porcelain veneers. Dr. Coleman will place a set of temporary veneers on your teeth while your permanent set is being constructed in the lab.

Once your new porcelain veneers are ready, Dr. Coleman will test them for proper color and fit. He will then place each individual veneer using a bonding material that permanently attaches the veneer to your underlying tooth surface.
