Did you know that cosmetic dentists performed over 599,000 porcelain veneer procedures last year? This makes it the third most performed cosmetic dental procedure performed. Many patients receive porcelain veneers to enhance or repair their teeth and smile. Porcelain veneer procedures have increased by 250% in the past five years as more and more patients begin to see the benefits that an improved smile may have.

According to Dr. Ryne Johnson of Newton Prosthodontics, dental veneers can also enhance the fullness of your lips and an increasing number of women in his practice elect to place veneers as a way to enhance lip fullness and plumpness.

Porcelain veneers help increase confidence and improve your smile by augmenting natural lip shape. Dental veneers are a very common cosmetic dentistry procedure, but only recently have patients discovered what veneers can do to produce fuller lips, reduce wrinkles, and improve the appearance of the entire face.

The added thickness of the veneers pushes out one's natural lip curves to create a more rounded, ample shape. With a dental procedure like porcelain veneers, patients can experience plump, luscious lips without having to undergo plastic surgical procedures or dermal fillers. Dental veneers can improve the look of the smile and the entire face, and are permanent unlike dermal fillers. With veneers, patients can permanently enhance their lips and remove or reduce wrinkles in the corner of their mouth without having to endure frequent injections.

Consult with an experienced and dedicated prosthodontist can help you address any questions or concerns you may have when considering whether veneers are right for you. You may contact Dr. Ryne Johnson at Newton Prosthodontics by phone (617.965.1225) or by visiting his website NewtonProsthodontics.com. Remember, “See a specialist…the difference will make you smile.

Your smile makes a difference in how you navigate scenarios and in how you present yourself to others.  In many instances, it can make the difference in ‘closing the deal’, ‘getting that promotion’ or ‘getting that second date’.   Your smile should be natural and confident.  An attractive   natural smile can change the way you feel about yourself and it WILL change the way in which others see you.

Natural smiles are better and more effective than that fake-looking smile.  Dr. Ryne Johnson of Newton Prosthodontics has been able to determine the guidelines that make a smile be both beautiful and natural-looking.  Prosthodontists are specialist in restorative care and aesthetic enhancements with three years of additional above and beyond that of general dentists.

In nature nothing is perfect, rounding the corner of a tooth or changing the inclination of the tooth is a way to make the teeth look natural.  Incorporating subtleties within the ceramics can be the difference between something that looks like dentistry or something that appears radiantly beautiful.   You may want a bright white smile, but bright white may not be what is natural for you.   Most dentists add color on the exterior of their work…talented dentists/ceramists incorporate creativity WITHIN the ceramics.

Dr. Ryne Johnson will take everything into consideration when determining how to improve your smile and whiten your teeth. Your new smile with be determined by your lifestyle, facial proportions, gender, age, complexion, hair and eye color. Often people will whiten teeth in conjunction with aesthetic dental work.  

According to Dr. Johnson, the best outcomes are ones where friends and colleagues ask, “did you just return from a vacation, did you get your hair done, or you look great…what’s your secret?”   If your dentistry is noticeable, it just wasn’t done well.

So, if you set the bar high, if you expect and demand excellence, if you’re looking for a new, attractive and natural looking smile that will change your life, contact Dr. Johnson at Newton Prosthodontics.

Remember, “See a Specialist…the Difference will Make You Smile”.

Truly ones smile is their most eye-catching feature. But more than that, with a great smile, you can confidently navigate social and business situations. With cosmetic dentistry you no longer have to worry about your teeth or your smile, but cosmetic dentistry is a broad term that many don’t understand.

Some of the smallest dental procedures are considered cosmetic dentistry; teeth whitening for example. No surgery, no recovery, teeth whitening is a simple solution with a dramatic effect. Teeth whitening brightens teeth that are discolored or stained and changes your smile.

There are many techniques to whiten teeth:  over-the-counter options, dentist provided materials for take home and in-office procedures.  Each has its advantages but in general, the stronger (prescription strength) materials are used under the supervision of a dentist.  The materials with a higher concentration work faster, deeper and more complete than the ‘Whitestrips’ for example.

Located right here in Newton, is Dr. Ryne Johnson, one of the pioneers of dental bleaching. Dr. Johnson has been involved in this process since 1986 and has lectured throughout the U.S. on advancements in cosmetic dentistry.  Teeth whitening can be a long process, and with over-the-counter whiteners you need some time to notice the results. Newton Prosthodontics can give you a jump start on that process with an in-house visit.

Even the smallest change can make a dramatic difference in your smile and in the way you look and feel about yourself. See a specialist…The difference will make you smile.

White teeth aren’t just about vanity. When you smile, you are presenting yourself. You are making a first impression, and you are conveying who you are to the people around you.

White teeth send an image of health, youth and a certain movie star charm. It is no wonder that teeth whitening treatments have soared in popularity and variety in recent years.

A perfect smile used to be out of reach in days past. If we had smile imperfections, we lived with those. Today, with modern dentistry and technology, there is no more need to do that. If you have a smile that just isn’t quite what you’d like it to be, there is a solution with modern cosmetic dentistry.

From the basics of teeth whitening to the more complex procedures, a perfect smile is within your reach. Sometimes, it is our habits or what we eat that stain our teeth, but other times it is just genetics, or we may or may not have had fluoride in the water when we were kids. Whatever the reason, you no longer have to live with yellow, stained or discolored teeth.

There is a lot to be said for a bright, white, healthy smile. And there is a lot of money being spent on over the counter teeth whiteners. But before you invest in any of those, you should see a cosmetic dentist, to see what teeth whitening product or system would work best for you and your teeth.

Newton Prosthodontics has years of experience in leading their patients to the correct bleaching approach, whether it's at home with custom trays, gels or store-bought strips, or in the dental office with speed whitening.

As teeth whitening becomes more mainstream, it is perceived less as a cosmetic treatment and more as an important area of self care and caring about your appearance.
