Practice Goals
Excellent Listening Is Required to Create Beautiful Smiles
Restorative dentistry is a much simpler process than aesthetic dentistry. It’s more straightforward. A tooth has decay – we remove the decay and restore the tooth to a healthy state. Aesthetic dentistry is much more multi-dimensional, and to be successful it has to raise the self-esteem of the client. A beautiful smile should make you more self-confident. And if you don’t think it’s beautiful, then the goal has not been reached. Thus, excellence in aesthetic dentistry must include excellent listening.
We begin each aesthetic case by listening carefully to your desires, your own perceptions of beauty, and the type of personality you wish to project with your smile. This takes some time, but is a critical element of each case. A bold smile is shaped differently from a sophisticated smile. The shade desired for your teeth is a very personal decision that will vary from patient to patient. We will listen carefully to you, craft a smile that meets your needs, and then let you try on your new smile before it is finalized.
Being Discreet About Your Dental Care
Your privacy, of course, is always given the highest respect in our office. But more than that, one of our goals is to create dental work that is indistinguishable from what is natural. In other words, in our office, your dental work will mimic natural teeth so closely, that no one will be able to tell you had any work done.
