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”.

Corina Miller, is a model, and she's a lead singer in a band too, who mostly works in New York and London. But she was in Boston recently and was discussing with her publicist how she wanted to improve her smile.

Her publicist knew that Dr. Johnson had many patients who spend time in front of the camera, and to a person they raved about the quality of his cosmetic work. So, Corina joined the growing list of people who swear by Dr. Johnson.

Here is some of what she said in her own words: "I couldn't be any happier or impressed with the outcome;  he is a  refreshingly unique type of dentist; with ease he made significant change that I always wanted but thought was impossible, feeling good about your smile makes one feel more connected with one's self and others."  She continues, "The results are  breath taking, I can't thank Dr. Johnson enough. He is efficient, thorough, and caring Dentist, trust me."

If you’ve lost your natural teeth, whether from periodontal disease, tooth decay or injury, complete dentures can replace your missing teeth and save your smile. Full dentures are used as replacements for people who are missing all of their teeth. Dentures can also be used in patients who have only partial tooth loss. This is called a partial denture or an overdenture. Replacing missing teeth will benefit your appearance and your health. Dentures add support to your facial muscles. Without that support, facial muscles sag, making you look older. We take for granted eating and speaking until our natural teeth are lost.

There are various types of complete dentures. A conventional full denture is made and placed in the patient’s mouth after the remaining teeth are removed and tissues have healed which may take several months. An immediate complete denture is inserted as soon as the remaining teeth are removed. The dentist takes measurements and makes models of the patient’s jaws during a preliminary visit. With immediate dentures, the denture wearer does not have to be without teeth during the healing period. When choosing a dentist to do this procedure, keep in mind that prosthodontists have three additional years of advanced training in restorative dentistry over a general dentist. Dr. Johnson specializes in crafting the teeth for the appliance so they are similar in appearance to actual teeth and are comfortable and functional.

Even if you wear full dentures, you still must take good care of your mouth. Brush your gums, tongue and palate every morning with a soft-bristled brush before you insert your dentures to stimulate circulation in your tissues and help remove plaque.

A smile is often the most eye-catching feature of a face. With dentistry's many advances, you no longer have to settle for gaps in your teeth or with teeth that are stained, badly shaped or crooked. You now have choices that can help you smile with confidence. Even the most subtle change in your smile can make a dramatic difference in the way you look and in your self confidence.

Whether it was nature's mistake or the results of an injury, a veneer placed on top of your teeth can let you have a beautiful smile.

Veneers are thin, custom-made shells crafted of porcelain which matches your teeth and are designed to cover the front side of the teeth. These veneers are hand made based on a model created by Dr. Johnson.

Veneers are thin sheets of porcelain that are adhered to the teeth in order to change the appearance of short, textured, badly stained, or gapped teeth. This works better than bonding because veneers resist staining from food and drink and have a longer life expectancy. The results are more than worth it. If you have any questions about veneers ask Newton Prosthodontics.

June is the start of wedding season. Make your pictures and memories as perfect as they can be with teeth whitening from Newton Prosthodontics.

The most noticeable thing about a person is their smile. However, over time, teeth naturally become darker due to age, habits and lifestyle. Smoking and drinking coffee tea or wine, and certain foods all contribute to the staining of teeth and detract from your beautiful smile. With teeth whitening at Newton Prosthodontics you can stop worrying about your wedding pictures and be ensured of a beautiful, bright smile.

Teeth whitening (or dental bleaching) is a simple and non-invasive dental treatment that changes the color of fading or darkening tooth enamel and is an ideal way to enhance the beauty of your smile.

Dr. Johnson understands that most people like to try and take care of bleaching their teeth at home. Our in house visit jump starts the process with a chemical bleaching session. Then several “trays” are made for you to take home so you can do the less concentrated touch ups in the privacy of your own home without having to make several trips to the dentist. We understand you are busy, especially if you are the bride-to-be, so you can have professionally whitened teeth on your own time.

Having whiter teeth has now become the number one aesthetic concern for most Americans. There are a number of ways to whiten teeth. Visit your dentist first; teeth whitening products only work on natural tooth enamel, so it is important to evaluate replacement of any old fillings and crowns before whitening. Replacement of any restorations is done after bleaching so they will match your newly bleached teeth. In certain circumstances, it may be that porcelain veneers are a better solution to teeth whitening.

Visit Dr. Johnson to see how to make your smile a beautiful smile; and be sure to have perfect, lasting memories of your special day.

Full Mouth Reconstruction is the process of rebuilding and/or restoring all of the teeth in your upper and lower jaw. It could involve many methods of dentistry to create the correct relationship between your gums, bones, muscles, and teeth. Your mouth is very complex; without the proper bite, chewing becomes an issue, teeth can become worn, the jaw can become sore, often migraines start. Veneers and crowns, dental implants, bridges and teeth whitening are all potential procedures used in a full mouth reconstruction. The results are a perfect smile every time.

Missing or crowded teeth, injured or fractured teeth, poor dental care, age, severely worn teeth, or the need to adjust the bite – all can contribute to this condition. When your teeth are out of ideal alignment, each time your jaw closes, your mouth, jaw and muscles are damaged. Tooth issues and pain in your jaw, neck and head often occur as a result. With full mouth reconstruction, these problems are addressed and patients find relief, improved function and better oral health. But also, they get a beautiful smile and a more youthful appearance.

With full-mouth reconstruction the entire mouth is beautified with a more comfortable bite and less tension in the jaw and neck.

If you have a bad bite, or if you have worn, broken, decayed or missing teeth, not only are you most likely uncomfortable, but your smile is holding you back as well. Dr. Ryne Johnson does very sophisticated work and has performed full mouth reconstruction multiple times for a whole spectrum of needs.

Most importantly, with full mouth reconstruction, the relationship between all the facets of your jaw and mouth will be ideal; therefore, your discomfort will disappear. But just as important, a new smile will boost your self confidence in your interactions with others; this will be what truly changes your life.
