Ultimately, true smile designers must be masters of many principles including mathematic, physical, chemical, biological and technical. If any one of these is either neglected or miscalculated, it will affect the final result in some way ranging from color to shape to durability. Many dentists who perform cosmetic dentistry have not been properly trained or do not have the sufficient amount of experience to predictably perform any and all smile design and full mouth rehab cases on anyone. That's how they get in trouble with cases that fail prematurely, never look right from the beginning and

One of the most common things we hear when discussing veneers is "Oh I've seen veneers before. They look so fake. They're too thick, white and unnatural." Unfortunately, there are veneers done every day by dentists that do not fully understand all the necessary principles of veneer preparation and esthetics, and thus get results with veneers that look unnatural. These unesthetic are the cases that stand out and get noticed. If veneers are done properly, you will not notice them, and you will simply think you are talking to someone who has really nice teeth!

Using a small 1cc tuberculin syringe, Botox is injected with and a very short and narrow 32 gauge needle. It works only where it is injected so treating an upper forehead zone, for example, might require 8 tiny injections while the lower forehead and frown lines between the eyebrows might require 6. There is no preoperative preparation needed and the patient can resume normal activities right away. The effect of the Botox can be seen in 5-7 days and usually last around 3-4 months. The sooner a patient starts, the more likely that the areas being treated with be wrinkle free.

There are many different types of materials that we can use when a patient needs to have a dental crown placed, and in our Ft. Lauderdale office, Dr. Stanton relies on esthetic, all-ceramic crowns for his patients. Ceramic crowns are lifelike and have coloring and light reflecting properties that more resemble natural teeth. Add these esthetic properties of ceramics with the color matching advantage of Dr. Stanton’s same-day dentistry approach, and you have a restoration you can be truly confident in and show off your smile to family and friends. Plus, because the crowns are all-ceramic and h

We often times hear patients recount stories of friends or family members who had their wisdom teeth removed and the doctor either had a "knee in their chest" or the recovery was long and painful. Experience and training are crucial to procedures like these. The right surgeon with the right amount of experience and training can take a complex third molar extraction that would take one doctor an hour and require surgical incisions and get it done in under ten minutes with no incision. Think about the difference in postoperative pain and recovery with the second doctor who gets it done so much

Endodontic therapy or root canal therapy is performed to devitalize or remove the pulp tissue of a tooth. The pulp is the primitive tissue in the very center of every tooth. It is a very simple tissue consisting of a nerve, artery, and vein. It is also a very vulnerable tissue in that it has no ability to heal itself. Once it gets insulted or damaged by trauma, decay, a deep crack or some other injury it will always die and lead to an eventual abscess. Once this happens, the only options are endo therapy or extraction of the tooth. If the dead infected tooth is left untreated, the abscess wil

The way partials work is whatever teeth remain in an arch are unaltered. The partial is a metal or resin/acrylic framework with plastic teeth. The framework is designed to fit around and hug the remaining teeth to gain stability and retention. The plastic teeth are then bonded to this framework. Because partials require this framework, patients see them as a last resort or an option that is dictated by low fee only because the frameworks are not only cumbersome but they must run the entire length of the arch no matter how many teeth are being replaced for support. The most common objections t

An implant to replace a single missing tooth is placed where the root of the missing tooth used to be. After a healing time of usually 3-4 months, the implant has fully fused with the patient's bone and can be loaded with forces via a crown or a bridge. So essentially, the implant acts in the same manner as the root of the tooth that used to be there. For multiple tooth loss, the options become more complicated in terms of dental implant placement. They can be placed in multiple different locations to support whatever restoration the doctor has chosen to replace the missing teeth with. Even i

When a tooth suffers this level of damage, the tooth is numbed and prepared. Preparation involves reshaping the tooth to the proper height and shape so as to receive and support the crown that slips over and fits onto the tooth like two jigsaw puzzle pieces fitting together or a hand sliding into a custom-made glove. Traditionally and unfortunately in 95% of offices, the next step is to take a mold/impression of the prepped tooth to send off to the lab and then make a temporary crown that the patient wears for 2-4 weeks until the permanent crown comes back from the lab. Fortunately in our off

CEREC is one of the leading CAD/CAM systems available in dentistry today. The acronym stands for “Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics”. Essentially, this technology eliminates the need for an outside dental lab, making in-office fabrication possible the very same day. To take impressions, Dr. Stanton will use a small handheld wand. As he passes the device over the teeth, a camera captures thousands of images, stitches them together, and sends them to our computer software program. There, Dr. Stanton can virtually design your crowns and veneers, crafting them to fit your uniq
