Cosmetic Dentistry

Dentistry has often been defined as a combination of Art and Science and I really believe that that is the case. Every day, we strive to make our patients whole. We want them to look good, feel comfortable and to have totally healthy mouths. Most of us are trained very well to do this. Your general dentist is the main person responsible for your dental health and you should always consult him or her before considering procedures which may be overstated or just not right for you. In areas involving dental cosmetics, dental implants or major reconstructive procedures, your general dentist might refer you to a Prosthodontist who has additional training in these areas. When someone without real academic training in an approved dental specialty area tries to tell you that they can provide something for you that your general dentist or prosthodontics cannot, it is wise to question this. Always make sure that you have asked around to make sure that other people are happy with the results and always check with other dentists for a second or a third opinion. Most of all, rely on your local practitioner and your Prosthodontist to help you asses the nature of your dental needs.S. Robert Davidoff, DMD, FACP
