Dental Veneers

Live Life Well
Fight oral cancer
Knowing that the lifestyle choices you make can affect your risk for oral
cancer is an important step toward its prevention. Although people who
smoke or use smokeless tobacco remain at highest risk, for the great
majority of those who do not use tobacco, dietary choices and physical
activity are the most important modifi able factors of cancer risk.
Here are the American Cancer Society’s recommendations for
individual choices:
1. Eat a variety of healthful foods, with an emphasis on plant sources.
2. Adopt a physically active lifestyle.
3. Maintain a healthful weight throughout life.
4. If you drink alcoholic beverages, limit consumption. Alcohol
combined with tobacco increases the risk of oral cancers.
Your other most important step? Regular dental exams. Oral
cancer can be caught early, even as a pre-cancer.

Are you unhappy with youveneerr smile? Are you tired of yellow or discolored teeth that add age to your appearance? With metal- free Veneers that look and feel like real teeth, you can erase time and look and feel years younger in just a few short weeks. Dr. Jay Ajmo of Palm Beach Gardens specializes in Cosmetic Dentistry, Implant Dentistry as well as I.V. Sedation.

Dental Veneers are a very popular treatment in cosmetic dentistry today and are used for either aesthetic purposes or when front teeth are damaged, chipped or broken. A Veneer is a custom fabricated shell (as thin as a contact lense) of ceramic material that has the appearance and translucency of natural teeth. Dental veneers are bonded over the front surface of a tooth to cover up worn down tooth enamel, slightly crooked teeth (instant orthodontics), gaps between teeth, and chiped or cracked teeth. Veneers can be fabricated to any shape or color enabling you to sit down with Dr. Ajmo and design your smile just the way you want. Dental veneers are the classic treatment used to create the much sought after Hollywood smile, or celebrity smile makeover. They can give you a perfectly aligned symmetrical white smile and with the translucent quality of ceramic materials available today they provide a totally natural look. Our Veneers are custom made (for shape and color) by a professional dental laboratory. Dr. Ajmo recommends minimal preparation veneers, which are as thin as a contact lens so that they blend with surrounding teeth to look natural and beautiful.

Dr. Ajmo will thoroughly examine your teeth to first of all ensure that your teeth are clean, healthy and that your gums are free from any signs of periodontal disease. It is very important that your teeth and gums are healthy before undergoing any major dental treatment. Once Dr. Ajmo has had a good look at your teeth he can begin to design your new smile and make it ready for the preparation of your existing teeth to accommodate the veneers.

Usually dental veneers are fitted over a period of 2 visits to the dentist but in some cases it can take up to 3-4 appointments. We look forward to seeing you! Call today for no charge consultation.
