Chapter 01
No-prep veneers, reversible by design
No-Prep Veneers use minimal or no tooth preparation, which means the natural tooth underneath is left mostly or entirely intact. They are described on the practice's own materials as being as thin as contact lenses, and because so little of the tooth is touched, the change is reversible.
For a chipped or uneven edge that does not need a full veneer, bonding with composite material is usually the simpler fix, shaped and matched to the tooth in a single visit.

Porcelain or plastic, depending on the tooth
Where a more traditional veneer is the better fit, the office offers both plastic and porcelain laminate materials, chosen based on what the tooth needs and how it will hold up over time.
Whitening you finish on your own schedule
The take-home whitening kit lets you work the treatment into your own routine instead of sitting in a chair for it. It is fitted and issued through the office, then used at home over the following days.
Invisalign for adults and teenagers
Clear aligners straighten teeth without metal brackets, which is usually the deciding factor for an adult who does not want visible hardware at work, or a teenager who would rather not deal with brackets at school. Dr. Azar holds certification as an Invisalign provider.

Two ways to change a smile
A small fix, or a full set of veneers.
Most patients only need one of these, not both. A conversation at the office is usually enough to tell which one fits what you actually want changed.
Bonding and whitening
For a single chipped tooth, an uneven edge, or teeth that just need to be a shade or two lighter. Bonding is done in one visit; the take-home whitening kit works on your own schedule.
No-prep and traditional veneers
For a fuller change across several teeth. No-prep veneers touch little or none of the natural tooth; porcelain and plastic laminate veneers are also available where a traditional veneer is the better fit.
