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.

An aging appearance is not always about sunspots, wrinkles on your face and neck or one’s posture.  If your teeth have a yellowish or brownish hue, you could actually look ten years older.

However, if you have a healthy, bright and white smile, you will look much younger and vibrant. The following are a few anti-aging cosmetic dentistry procedures that can be performed by Dr. Ryne Johnson at Newton Prosthodontics:

1.  Dental Veneers
You look several years older than you actually are, if your teeth are crooked and misshaped.
 
If the tooth structure is lost, your smile will appear ‘older’. The shape of your lips may also be transformed, and so will the entire lower structure of your face. With dental veneers, you can look even up to 10-15 years younger. The veneers are made of porcelain and they are meant to transform the shape and color of your teeth.

Dr. Johnson, a Prosthodontist with advanced training in cosmetic procedures, who is truly an expert in what he does, can re-build the shape of your teeth with the dental veneers, he may also make those fine wrinkles around your mouth disappear.

2. Professional teeth whitening
Even if your teeth are healthy in essence, they might lose their bright and white structure if you are used to drinking coffee and tea every day.

There are several teeth whitening kits that you can use at home, but nothing compares to a professional teeth whitening procedure at our office. Your teeth can become even 5 to 6 shades lighter after one hour of professional treatment.
 
3. The dermal fillers …done best by plastic surgeons
There are experts who can make those naso-labial folds disappear with the help of dermal fillers.
 
After the application of the veneers is done, some use the dermal filer in order to smooth out the appearance of your skin between your lips and nose.
 
This way, your skin will look smooth and healthy, and this will being forward even more your beautiful teeth and smile.

In short, you can look and feel your best if your smile projects confidence and youthful beauty.  A visit to the dentist can offer predictable and incredible improvements in one’s overall appearance.

A couple of years ago, when NECN (New England Cable News) was converting to a high definition signal, one of its personalities called Dr. Ryne Johnson for advice.  Jim Braude of Broadside: with Jim Braude, a nightly news and commentary show, recognized that the Hi-Def video was unforgiving.  He recognized that his smile needed some attention before the new conversion.

He had heard Dr. Johnson’s name around the station, but he didn’t know anything about him. Additionally, he had seen Dr. Johnson’s profile in the ‘Best of Boston Issue’ of Boston Magazine. He visited with Dr. Johnson and according to Jim, “Dr. Johnson did the most brilliant cosmetic work for him”.  He added that, “I know that the cosmetic dentistry work was done, but no one else can tell”.   Jim Braude considers Dr. Johnson of Newton Prosthodontics, “a magician”.
 
Recently heard on 96.9 WTKK, Jim Braude speaks of Dr. West, a public health dentist in the Boston area. She called Jim about her mother’s dream to have a perfect white smile.  Dr. West is great at basic dentistry, but wasn’t comfortable doing the extensive cosmetic dentistry part.  Her mother went to Dr. Johnson and is ecstatic with her new, beautiful smile.

According to Jim Braude and Dr. West, “Dr. Johnson, a prosthodontist in Newton, is on top of his game with outstanding skills.  He has the latest CAD/CAM technology, which is what he used on Jim Braude and on Dr. West’s mom.  Dr. West’s mom is so happy with her smile now, she is living her dream”!

According to Dr. Ryne Johnson of Newton Prosthodontics, where one seeks care and which dentist performs critical, cosmetic therapy influences the subtle nuances that determine whether one’s smile suggests countless hours in the dental chair or projects the radiance of well-maintained beauty.  You may get more background on Dr. Johnson or see the many testimonials from his patients by visiting NewtonProsthodontics.com or calling 617.965.1225.

A recent survey from the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) finds 99.7% of Americans believe a smile is an important social asset, with 74% believing an unattractive smile can hurt a person's chance for success. This belief is engrained in the American culture. Patients should research cosmetic dentists before undergoing any procedure like teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, or dental implants.

Since 2006, teeth whitening procedures have increased by 300%, and porcelain veneers by 250%.  According to Dr. Ryne Johnson of Newton Prosthodontics, he’s noticed that more and more patients undergo cosmetic dental procedures like teeth whitening, or multi-phase dental procedures and full mouth restoration. 

Research and knowledge is the best tool patients can use to ensure quality service and pleasing outcomes. Patients who research procedures, cosmetic dentists and prosthodontists beforehand end up being happier in their dental treatment experience and being happy with the results of their smile makeover. When patients are engaged and invested in making decisions, in addition to checking dentists’ experience and credentials, the results are generally better.

As the AACD study highlights, more patients are undergoing cosmetic dentistry because they believe their smile is important, both in their social and professional lives.
