In Dr. Sam Saleh's own words

How Dr. Sam Saleh describes their own approach, from their Instagram posts. Each statement links to the original.

Approach

  • My goal wasn’t to create a different smile, but to enhance the one that was already there
  • When we want to select the color of white when it pertains to aesthetic dentistry, that's very different from the white that you may choose for the color of your walls or the color of your shirt

Specialization

  • Specializes in facial aesthetics.

Technique

  • We then completed the smile with minimal-prep veneers on the remaining visible teeth
  • In some patients, I need to increase the saturation of the intensity of the porcelain in order to read as a white smile. Whereas in some, that increased saturation will read as artificial
  • Dr. Sam Saleh considers factors like darker skin tone or a dramatic beard, which may allow him to achieve contrast without using a very strong color.
  • We replaced the existing veneers with improved proportions and anatomy

Consultation

  • In those cases, I have to educate my patient that I can give you the same result, but that doesn't necessarily mean that I would choose the same color for your specific case

How does Dr. Saleh approach selecting porcelain veneer shades?
Dr. Saleh emphasizes that 'white' is not a single color in porcelain, possessing depth, translucency, and undertones. Shade decisions are personalized to complement a patient's unique features, including skin tone, eye color, and the whites of their eyes, rather than simply aiming for the 'whitest possible' shade. The goal is a white that looks natural, alive, and unique to the individual.

Can creating a youthful smile involve making teeth smaller?
Yes, sometimes creating a more youthful smile actually means making the teeth smaller, not bigger, especially if previous dental work or changes in tooth proportion have made the smile appear heavy or dominant.

How soon after treatment are results visible?
Results can be visible very quickly; in some cases, patient photos are taken just 24 hours after treatment.
Source →
What are some common issues with poorly designed veneers?

Frequently Asked Questions

What areas of care does Dr. Sam Saleh cater to?
Dr. Saleh is capable of designing and delivering porcelain restorations that appear as natural as an organically grown tooth. A key goal in smile refinement is to ensure the patient still looks completely like themselves, aiming for seamless aesthetic results. The practice prioritizes natural, alive, and unique white shades for veneers, moving beyond the 'whitest possible' approach, and aims to create smiles that are custom-made for each individual. The desired aesthetic outcome is a lighter, fresher, and more youthful smile that does not appear artificial or like 'new teeth', always enhancing the patient's existing smile to be more balanced and radiant, while remaining unmistakably theirs. The doctor prefers not to erase the natural character of a patient's smile, even when it includes slight irregularities or wear. The practice refines existing veneers by improving proportions, shapes, and overall harmony, reducing overall size, creating softer contours, and allowing more natural space. They use minimal-prep veneers to complete smile transformations, which can create seamless, undetectable results. Every porcelain veneer is handcrafted to mimic natural tooth structure, featuring delicate translucency at the edges, subtle surface texture, and light reflection that blends seamlessly with natural teeth. Veneers are designed to look completely undetectable. Smile transformations are not always initiated by vanity; Dr. Saleh's goals include better function, better anatomy, and a natural, comfortable feel. Cosmetic dentistry often involves solving functional problems, with aesthetic improvement as a valuable by-product. Improved veneer proportions and anatomy are designed to properly support surrounding tissues, and porcelain veneers can restore teeth to health.
