Woodland Hills / Calabasas Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
Dr. Susan Fredericks
VENEERS
What can you expect from your porcelain veneers?
During your first visit, your teeth are prepared and an impression is taken. You leave the cosmetic dentistry Calabasas / Woodland Hills office with beautiful temporaries that are custom made to simulate the appearance of your new smile. You will leave your first visit looking better than when you came in. During your second visit, they will be bonded into place. Veneers can last indefinitely, depending on how you take care of them. Destructive oral habits that damage natural teeth, such as nail biting and using your teeth to open hard objects, can also damage your veneers. Veneers should be treated like natural teeth. For best long term results, regular dental visits are a must.
NEUROMUSCULAR
What is Neuromuscular Dentistry?
Neuromuscular dentistry is a practice founded on the belief that a healthy smile begins with healthy function. This method of treatment determines the optimal physiological position of the jaw by measuring the relaxed position of head and neck muscles and then repositions the jaw to achieve those exact measurements.
