By Ruth Gomes, DMD Every morning, when looking in the mirror, do you ever wish you could improve your smile? You are not alone. Many of my patients have spent years frustrated with the unsatisfactory appearance of stains, worn out enamel and amalgam fillings, and far from beautiful crowns, yet they do not know where to turn. They have had dental work done in the past, but for whatever reason it does not feel complete. These are perfect reasons to visit a cosmetic dentist. This concentration of dentistry is focused on all the many different methods of making a healthy smile look beautiful. There is more to cosmetic dentistry than simply making teeth look healthier. Cosmetic dentists have had special post-graduate training in a variety of dental aesthetic principles including tooth anatomy and color, facial structure and balance, and functioning of restorations to be able to provide patients with comprehensive smile makeovers. Look for a cosmetic dentist with extensive training in the subject. Many of the top providers belong to the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. In my practice, I often use a variety of methods on patients for a complete smile makeover. Patients in need of immediate results often elect to have veneers or crowns placed over all of their teeth. Typically these procedures cover the teeth. When done properly, they should look better than your natural teeth. Patients with more time to spare often start out with orthodontics to straighten their bites, and then with whitening or sometimes veneers when necessary. These combinations give a truly spectacular result. The cornerstone of a cosmetic dental practice is technology. Not only has advanced material science finally given us restorations that can last a lifetime, our diagnostic abilities have been greatly improved by machines like the CEREC 3D that make inlays, crowns, and veneers right here in the office. I cannot live without my i-CAT machine that givesme 3D x-rays of the head, teeth, and neck to plan my implants precisely. A great resource to find out more about cosmetic dentistry is www.lvismile.com. Right now, they are running a $20,000 Smile Makeover Contest. I always have patients who come in for my complimentary smile consultations to apply to have their services paid off. If you have been thinking about your smile for some time, take the next step and find out about your options.
