Five Steps To A Beautiful
Smile
Does the idea of having a "Hollywood" quality cosmetic
dental makeover appeal to you? Have you avoided this procedure
simply because you did not know how to evaluate cosmetic
dentists. There are five keys to getting a great cosmetic
dental makeover from Eldridge Dental's dentists.
1. Expertise of the cosmetic dentist. Eldridge Dental's
dentists specializing in cosmetic dentistry must know
how to shape and design the teeth so the smile is balanced,
symmetrical and natural. Cosmetic dentists must also be
knowledgeable in maintaining the proper bite and jaw alignments
(TMJ). Of course, expertise is acquired through experience.
In selecting cosmetic dentists, you should examine a large
selection of patient before and after photographs of the
completed work the doctor has performed and photographs
are a firsthand look at dentists quality of the work.
2. To understand the keys to recognizing excellent work
in patient photographs by Eldridge Dental's dentists.
First compare a smile to a flower:
 A
flower drawn using exact geometric shapes shows no
variability, no natural uniqueness, no beauty, in
short it does not even look like a flower. |
|
 A
natural flower is beautiful because it has infinite
variation. The eye is drawn to each individual petal
to see a unique twist, curve or change of hue.Then
the eye is drawn to the whole, the sum of the parts. |
A smile is like
the flower. Yet all too often dentists will align the
teeth "tombstone straight" with no variation in edges,
hue, translucency. Nor will they consider how teeth align
with the lip, or how the highlights fall. The result is
an opaque artificial look - the "Chiclets ® look." Photographs
of Hollywood smiles, show a natural look matching each
person's face. Edges of the teeth are translucent. The
curve of the upper teeth edges follow the curve of the
lower lip and the teeth have slight variations. The length
of the teeth matches the length of the face. And, most
important, the white dots of reflected light (highlights)
form a inverse curve to the lower lip. Highlights start
low on the back teeth then move up high (close to the
upper lip) then move back down on the other side. Illustration
of properly placed highlights Making teeth white and straight
is easy for Eldridge Dental's dentists. Making them appear natural
is the hard part. But when the look is natural (just like
a flower) the result is a beautiful smile.

3. Another
indication of a dentists true commitment to cosmetic dentistry
is the Dental Laser. The laser allows pain-free contouring
of gum tissue, sometimes necessary to attain a truly excellent
look. Lasers also can whiten teeth that have not been restored
to match those that have.
4. The last point to consider is the experience, professionalism
and artistry of the ceramist who creates the actual crowns
and veneers. The ceramist applies the art of translucency,
color and highlights to the porcelain assuring a natural
and beautiful smile. Many dental labs create good crowns
and veneers, but does the lab specialize in cosmetic makeovers?
Is the technician also an artist? Does this lab serve
a community that demands excellence?
