ESTHETIC DENTISTRY: Changing lives with just a smile Our smile says so much about us. It expresses self-confidence. It's an outward expression of the joy we feel within and a beautiful smile is a great display of health and hygiene. Today's dentistry can offer a beautiful, natural looking smile to any one. The challenge is choosing a dentist who has advanced training. They must truly understand what it takes to create a life-like smile that blends harmoniously with person's unique profile. When bonding porcelain veneers, we work closely with gifted dental ceramists, to ensure tooth preparation and shading is optimal. A few years ago, the way I approached esthetic dentistry changed dramatically. After performing a smile-makeover on a patient at the prestigious Las Vegas Institute, I was enlightened. So many minor intricacies can impact how a case looks in the end -- not just appearance, but comfort and balance as well. I can proudly say we are on the cutting edge of esthetic excellence.
