Smile Lines - Summer 2007

Fabulous Lips! Glorious smile!

Now that you have the dazzling smile you’ve always wanted, we know that you’ll want to keep it that way! When you perform your home care routine, don’t forget to protect your lips – the perfect frame for your perfect new look.

We need sunlight to synthesize vitamin D, but too much sunlight can burn our skin, prematurely age, and cause skin cancers. Moisturizing chapped lips is always a good idea, but remember – winter or summer – when you apply sunscreen to your face, include those lips!

And women, why not benefit from all of the technology that lipstick manufacturers have invested in so you can wear special sunscreen lipsticks? You can still enjoy the great outdoors... and wonderful textures and colors that can enhance your glorious smile!

Goodbye “type A” Stress

Hello DERPS!

Ambitious, stressed-out Type A personalities are probably grinding their teeth at being overshadowed by stressed-out Type D’s ... anxious gloomy worriers, ERs ... the emotional responders, and Type P pessimists. All of these personality types are at risk for stress-related illness!

The majority of us will occasionally clench or grind our teeth during stressful times, but out-of-control teeth grinding can wear down enamel and weaken fillings and crowns. That’s costly for your dental and overall health – and your appearance.

Relax! We can help rebuild your worn smile by bonding a composite resin that is strong and attractive. We can also place ceramic crowns or overlays to save and protect your natural tooth ... without metal ...so your smile looks completely natural!

Crown Your Day!

Light up your beautiful smile – discretely!

Are you afraid you’ll be noticed if you change your smile? Well, when you see how great your new smile looks, you’ll probably want to be noticed! Modern restorations that use crowns – like dental implants and crowns and bridges – look discretely natural and can light up your smile ... like nobody’s business! Here’s how...

  1. A crown will cover your damaged tooth so that it will appear completely normal again and likely be even stronger than the original. Fabulous materials like porcelains and ceramics are not only strong enough to withstand natural biting pressure and resist chipping, staining, and cracks, but they are truly beautiful and translucent like natural enamel.
  2. When there is an actual gap that needs closing, a bridge that combines crowns on your supporting teeth to strengthen them, and artifi cial teeth to span the gap, is an excellent alternative.
  3. A crown can also be integrated into a dental implant which is an artificial tooth implanted right into your jawbone. Because it is anchored into your bone, it helps to prevent the bone defi ciency that can accompany the loss of a tooth. An implant can be an alternative to, or used with, a denture or bridge.

We can help to restore your beautiful smile for a lifetime. Please see us soon for a consultation ... you will really notice a difference!
