New Review for Dr. Wei: "One of the Country's Best Dentists!"

What to Expect from the Snap-On Smile Process

A healthy white smile is one of the first things people tend to notice about other individuals. However, not everyone is comfortable with the condition of their smiles. A smile makeover can be the perfect solution! Read on for more information on what to expect with the Snap-On Smile® process and overall benefits.

Before undergoing treatment, you will meet with your cosmetic dentist for an initial consultation. Your dentist will have you complete a patient history questionnaire outlining your family’s medical history, previous surgeries, current medications, history of disease, and lifestyle factors. Your dentist may also order a series of X-rays during your initial consultation or request that you bring with you any previously taken X-rays.

Your first meeting with your cosmetic dentist gives you the opportunity to ask questions regarding the procedural steps, benefits of the Snap-On Smile®, and anticipated results. You may also consider discussing the fees and available financing options.

After discussing your goals with your dentist, you can choose your new smile from a variety of tooth shapes and shades. Your dentist will then take photos and impressions of your teeth before preparing the data needed to create your customized Snap-On Smile®. Most patients receive their Snap-On Smile® approximately two weeks after their appointment, during which time they will be educated on how to snap the appliance in place.

The Snap-On Smile® is a painless cosmetic dental treatment option for gaps between teeth, crooked teeth, stained teeth, or missing teeth. This treatment option can also give you a brilliant smile without the need for invasive dental procedures. The Snap-On Smile® can be worn out of the office and can be worn while eating. Furthermore, the Snap-On Smile® is only a fraction of the cost of porcelain veneers.

With more than 12 years of experience with the Snap-On Smile®, Dr. Michael J. Wei, DDS PC is considered one of Manhattan’s top cosmetic dentists. Our Snap-On Smile® is fully warranted and any issues will be treated by Dr. Wei directly. Start planning your beautiful new smile by calling (888) 591-6783 today!

Porcelain Tooth Crowns By Dr. Michael J. Wei, Manhattan NYC Cosmetic Dentist

Manhattan NYC Cosmetic Dentist Dr. Michael J. Wei is helping New York City area people who have badly damaged teeth get an attractive new smile with porcelain tooth crowns. Porcelain tooth crowns are a popular dental treatment for people with damaged, chipped or cracked teeth, or a large cavity in a tooth. Today’s modern porcelain composite materials allow cosmetic dentists like Dr. Wei to repair teeth and improve smiles with a strong and durable material that looks natural and can last for decades.

Porcelain Tooth Crowns can be used for:

* Filling embarrassing gaps and spaces between teeth;

* Repairing cracks and chips in teeth;

* Shaping teeth that are damaged, chipped, cracked or broken;

* Whitening teeth that are discolored or dull.

* Providing natural-looking white teeth - porcelain tooth crowns look like natural teeth and provide a bright-white new smile that improves overall appearance.

Porcelain tooth-colored crowns are custom-made in Dr. Wei’s dental lab to restore a tooth and repair damage for a structurally-strong tooth. A patient’s first appointment includes taking an impression of the tooth, preparing the tooth and attaching a temporary crown. Between visits, Dr. Wei’s dental lab creates the custom tooth crowns. During the last appointment, Dr. Wei removes the temporary crown and permanently installs the permanent porcelain tooth crown.

“Porcelain tooth crowns are a strong, durable and natural-looking way to repair your teeth and correct your bite.” stated Dr. Michael J. Wei. “Plus, they can be used to provide a smile makeover which will enhance your smile and overall appearance.”

Dr. Michael J. Wei Manhattan NYC Cosmetic Dentist Providing Smile Makeovers with Porcelain Veneers

New York City Cosmetic Dentist Dr. Michael J. Wei is assisting people with teeth that are chipped, gapped, stained or misaligned by repairing their teeth with porcelain veneers. “Porcelain veneers” are thin shells made of custom-made high-tech ceramic material used for repairing damaged teeth with a strong, permanent porcelain material.

Fitting porcelain veneers to damaged teeth is a painless procedure which usually involves just two visits to Dr. Wei’s dental office. During the first visit, Dr. Wei takes an impression of the patient’s teeth so he can design and shape the porcelain veneers to precisely fit their teeth. The second visit includes fixing the porcelain veneers to the teeth. After porcelain veneers are installed, they provide a beautiful, white smile that can last for many decades with proper care.

Porcelain Veneers are a Popular Dental Treatment for:

    * Repairing damaged, decayed, chipped, or cracked teeth that make it embarrassing to smile;

    * Filling unsightly spaces and gaps between teeth to improve a person’s smile and overall look;

    * Whitening severely stained or dark-colored teeth that look unsightly;

    * Straightening teeth for a more appealing smile;

    * Whitening teeth for a beautiful bright-white natural-looking smile.

“Our patients love their porcelain veneers because they are effective at repairing their damaged teeth and can also be used to provide a complete ‘smile makeover’ for a dramatic improvement in their appearance,” stated Dr. Wei, a Cosmetic Dentist in New York City. “Porcelain veneers completely transform their appearance, are completely painless and usually only involve two visits.”
