A healthy, attractive smile is an important facet of life. It impacts your health, self-esteem and relationships both personal and professional. Dermatologists and plastic surgeons agree, aesthetic surgery is never complete unless a vibrant, natural looking smile supports it. Yet smile enhancement can often achieve a more youthful appearance instantly without the necessity of additional facial rejuvenation.
Whether you are looking to reinvent your smile or simply want to revitalize the smile you once had, it's possible in as little as two visits, just in time for the wedding, family reunion or professional function you have been anxious to attend. Dr. Singer says, "Smile enhancement, properly done, will leave people wondering what is different about you. Is it your hair, lipstick, did you lose weight? Smile enhancement shouldn't be obvious; it should be subtle and natural looking. A properly trained and talented cosmetic dentist knows the secret to achieving natural aesthetics that compliment the individual and result in an overall improvement in facial appearance. Part of the secret is by studying characteristics of the face to achieve the right dimensions in length, shape, width, gum contour, and tooth color. When someone tells me how they now can smile in front of the camera, rather than hide from it, I feel blessed. I've touched someone's life in a positive way. Being part of enhancing someone's confidence is incredibly rewarding."
Today's cosmetic dentists have many advantages, including incredibly natural looking bio-compatible materials and advancements in dental technologies. Ceramic porcelain crowns are translucent, thin, look and feel just like natural teeth, and are durable and long lasting. Crowns and veneers need not be bulky, thick or opaque. CEREC 3D technology can create all ceramic restorations such as onlays and crowns in one visit, eliminating the need for multiple appointments. Sedation for the highly anxious patient can safely tear down the walls that have been keeping the nervous patient from achieving dental treatment.
Dr. Singer, one of a small percentage of dentists who have completed the prestigious Advanced Ultimate Esthetic Program at NYU, explains, "Prominent practices offer these advancements to their patients as well as other amenities for the patient's comfort. To make the visits as enjoyable and relaxing as possible, my practice offers a wide selection of music CDs and DVD movies as well as paraffin hand wax treatments, soothing eye mask and warm blankets. We provide refreshments such as coffees, teas, fruit, and other edibles, and for extensive appointments a meal for the patient and their guests. We understand that seeking dental treatment is a choice and we value that they've chosen to come to us."
In an age where facelifts, liposuction and breast enhancement is no longer exclusive to celebrities, baby-boomers no longer have to grow old gracefully; they can defy it. Cosmetic dentistry is the noninvasive approach to creating a more youthful vibrant appearance, comfortably, both during and after treatment.
