SMILE DESIGN CLINIC

DR .AZIZ ISSA EL KHOURY

As a cosmetic dentist specializing in creating a beautiful smile, I understand you are looking for a dentist who will listen to precisely what you would like to accomplish with your cosmetic dental procedure

It is my philosophy that our relationship begins with you telling and showing me exactly how you would like your teeth and smile to look. It is then up to me to help you understand what can and what sometimes cannot be done to accomplish your aesthetic dental goals.
We understand you are making a very important decision about your smile that will be with you the rest of your life. We will provide you with detailed, individualized information to help you make an informed, intelligent decision.

As a primarily aesthetic practice, we also understand that your privacy is of paramount importance and your time is valuable. Both of these will always be treated with the utmost consideration at our clinic. I believe that when you choose me as your dentist, we are entering into a long-term relationship built on mutual trust and shared respect.

I - PORCELAIN VENEERS

What are Porcelain Veneers?
Veneers are a thin, semi-translucent laminant permanently bonded to your teeth. While they're not suitable for every patient, veneers are the most aesthetic alternative for a variety of dental conditions involving the front teeth, including:
• Diastema (spaces between teeth)
• Broken or chipped teeth
• Unsightly, stained or washed out fillings
• Permanently stained or discolored teeth that can't be bleached
• Crooked teeth
Advantages and Benefits of Veneers
There are many benefits and advantages to having porcelain veneers placed on your front teeth:
• The procedure takes only two appointments
• A conservative amount of tooth structure is removed during the procedure
• Veneers are the most biocompatible material you can use next to the gingiva (part of the gum tissue that immediately surrounds the teeth and alveolar bone)
• A healthy "natural" look is achieved; in fact, porcelain veneers are the most aesthetic restoration in dentistry

Before	After

How are Porcelain Veneers done?
At the first appointment the teeth are prepared for the veneers and an impression is taken. This impression is then sent to a lab where each porcelain veneer is custom made to the dentist's specifications and beautiful temporaries are fabricated to simulate your new smile so you can expect to leave the first appointment looking better than when you came in. At the second appointment the veneers are permanently adhered to the natural teeth.
What to Expect
Veneers can last indefinitely, depending on how well they are taken care of by the patient. Because veneers are stronger than simple bonding, they are also more resistant to stains and chipping. You must maintain regular oral hygiene at home, and visit us for routine cleanings and exams. This is to ensure that your new veneers will look as good as new. Another important point is that oral habits that damage natural teeth such as nail biting, opening bobby pins, and chewing on hard objects can also damage your new veneers. Once veneers are applied, just treat them like natural teeth. They look great and are extremely durable.


II - WHITENING

		.
Before	After

Tooth Whitening provided by a dentist is the safest and fastest way to a whiter, brighter smile. We offer 3 options to fit into your lifestyle.

A-Day White
(30 minutes, twice a day)
Day White is an advanced whitening chemistry which will quickly, safely, and effectively whiten your smile.

Day White is a mild solution containing a unique blend of natural soothers, conditioners and flavor enhancers. It is dispensed to patients by a dental professional, but applied by the patient at home using a comfortable and inconspicuous tray.
Unlike conventional overnight take-home tooth whitening systems that may require up to eight hours of wear time, Day White achieves the same results in only 30 minutes twice a day.
B-Nite White
(while you sleep)
Nite White is a fast, safe and effective tooth whitening system. The whitening gel is a thick solution, which is dispensed to patients by a dentist and applied by the patient at home using a clear and inconspicuous custom filled tray.
The delicious Peppermint Cream flavored gel is worn overnight, while you sleep for ultimate performance and maximum convenience. In only 10-14 nights, you can achieve exceptional whitening results.

C- Whitening with Zoom Light in dental clinic in just 1 hour
The Zoom! light activated gel was developed after years of research by Discus Dental, the leaders in professional take-home tooth whitening. The gel is scientifically formulated, pH balanced Hydrogen Peroxide that, when activated by the Zoom! light, gently penetrates the teeth only to remove deep stains and discoloration, while leaving
the structure of the tooth unchanged.
With proper care and on occasional
touch up at home, your whiter smile will
sparkle for years.
For whitening maintenance we offer you the Zoom bleaching pen which can preserve you’re smile’s sparkling color
A Note of Assurance
Tooth whitening is a well established procedure in cosmetic dentistry. Hydrogen Peroxide, the active ingredient in Zoom!, has also been safely used for many years in the treatment of gums and other oral soft tissue.
The whitening process is effective on most discolored teeth. Darker stains, such as those caused by antibiotics, are more difficult to whiten. The degree of whiteness will vary from patient to patient, depending on the structure of the teeth.


III - Aesthetic Enhancements: Bonding & Tooth Colored Fillings
Bonding involves the direct application of tooth-colored composite resin and is typically used to create a more attractive smile.

Tooth-colored fillings are an alternative to traditional metal fillings and fall into two categories; direct and indirect. Direct restorations is composite resin applied in one appointment. Indirect restorations (inlays or onlays) are made of porcelain or composite resin materials fabricated by a dental laboratory.

Before	After

These restorations usually take two appointments.
Are Tooth Colored Fillings Right For Me?
Among the advantages of tooth-colored fillings are:

Life-like aesthetic qualities
The preservation of more natural tooth structure
Optimal biocompatibility
Minimal risk of allergic reaction
No development of metal sensitivity.

Before	After

IV - Aesthetic Enhancements: Crowns & Bridges
Crowns (or caps) are dental restorations that are placed over a tooth when conservative restorations are insufficient to restore form and function. A bridge serves to replace a missing tooth or teeth. One type of bridge consists of crowns placed on either side of the missing tooth to connect the replacement tooth or teeth to them. Another type of bridge consists of the replacement tooth attached to the adjacent teeth with wing-like appendages. Bridges can also be supported by dental implants. Crowns and bridges can be made entirely of tooth-colored material, metal, or a combination to provide optimal aesthetics. Some metal-free crowns and bridges incorporate stress-bearing materials to enhance their strength and wear-resistance.

Is A Crown Right For Me?
Crowns address aesthetic needs, restore tooth function, and enhance the overall health of your mouth. In cases where teeth have large broken down fillings, a crown can protect and preserve the remaining natural tooth. To enhance your smile a metal-free, tooth colored crown can also replace an older metal/porcelain crown. Following root canal therapy, a crown is typically placed over the remaining tooth structure to preserve aesthetic and tooth function.

Is a Bridge Right For Me?
In cases where teeth are missing, a bridge prevents the remaining natural teeth from shifting so that dental health and facial aesthetics are not compromised. Bridges may also provide a permanent, non-removable alternative to removable partial or full dentures. Whether supported by natural teeth or implants, bridges can offer life-like aesthetics and stable chewing surfaces. The can be easily maintained by brushing with modified brushing and flossing.

V - Implant Dentistry

Dental implants enable dentists to create healthy, attractive smiles in an innovative way. Used to replace one or more missing teeth, implants are another alternative to conventional bridges and dentures. In essence, dental implants act and look like natural teeth. And, because they maintain bone mass, dental implants can help prevent additional tooth loss as well as the sunken facial appearance associated with missing teeth. A dental implant restoration consists of a bio-compatible titanium screw and post topped by a crown bridge or denture.
The implant is surgically replaced into the jawbone where it replaces the natural tooth root. In a few months, the implant securely attaches to the bone (called "osteointegration"), allowing it to withstand biting and chewing forces just like a healthy, natural tooth.

Before	After

Are Dental Implants Right For Me?
The most common indications for implant therapy are:

Replacement of one or more missing teeth.
Support of a non-removable "bridge" to replace multiple teeth.
Support of a removable full or partial denture
Patients who successfully pass a screening and evaluation can be considered as candidates for implant replacement.

The primary limiting factor inherent in implant therapy is the amount of bone available to receive and support the implant. If it's determined that a patient does not have enough bone to support an implant restoration, bone grafting procedures may be considered. Heavy smoking and some medical conditions may preclude the use of implant therapy.

VI - Gum surgery
- Esthetic of the smile depends not only on the shape, position and color of the teeth but also on the harmonious color and architecture of the gum during smiling.
- We can provide you an esthetic pink, healthy and harmonious gum reflecting an ideal esthetic smile with gum peeling and gum lifting
- . Gum peeling

Before	After

. Gum lifting
Esthetic of the smile depends also on the harmonious architecture of the gum level while smiling. By correcting the gingival level we can reduce the gum display during smiling as we can correct the ideal tooth proportion just with laser treatment or surgical treatment depending on the case.

VII - SMILE DESIGN AND MAKEOVERS
A smile design by Dr Aziz Issa El Khoury is truly a work of art. The term applies to the enhancement of a smile through a combination of methods. Much more than the teeth are considered. A patient’s eyes, face, lip line, coloring, gum tissue contour and many other aspects are taken into account when a new smile is designed. The goal is to re-design a smile that fits you, is beautiful, strong, natural-looking and considers your desires.
