What options are available to restore my teeth at Port Warwick Dental Arts?
A veneer is a very thin slip of porcelain requiring minimal to no preparation of tooth structure, due to new techniques provided at Port Warwick Dental Arts. In the past, veneers required aggressive tooth reduction. Not anymore, with the quality skill provided by the master lab technicians with whom Dr. Samaha works. Veneers enhance the color, shape and overall esthetics of a tooth or teeth. Porcelain veneers can also fill in gaps between teeth, brighten discolored teeth and strengthen a tooth weakened by decay, cracks or inherent enamel defects.

Now I’ve gone straight because of Six Month Smiles and I couldn’t be happier! I had suffered all my life with overlapping teeth that were too big for my mouth. Being over sixty, I couldn’t see two years in orthodontic braces. Six months was so reasonable and it was all so easy. The gentle tooth movement started instantly and my teeth were straight in no time. That was amazing to me! Other doctors had thought I needed to have teeth removed in order to get them straight, but I didn’t. I am so happy I was a patient of Dr Samaha’s and that she was skilled in this special treatment option.
