A smile is said to be worth a thousand words. Our smiles are certainly a first impression, especially when on a job interview, a date or anytime you are interacting with someone. But we often overlook our smiles, aesthetically speaking. But taking care of your teeth is essential and really improves your overall appearance.
 
Aside from the obvious dental cleanings and flossing, we can improve our smiles both in office and at home. Products such as Invisalign have transformed the world of braces. Now everyone can reap the benefits of straightening crooked teeth and correcting their bite more discretely.
 
Teeth whitening is a popular way to erase stains from smoking, drinking coffee and wine and age. There are numerous whitening toothpastes, mouth washes, light treatments and gels. In-office teeth whitening treatments are the best and most effective option for improving the color of your teeth.  Consult Dr. Johnson, at Newton Prosthodontics, a pioneer in teeth whitening techniques to learn if you are a good candidate.
          
For patients interested in cosmetic dentistry, a prosthodontist is the perfect option with extensive education and a library of options to help with missing teeth, chipped teeth or gaps in your teeth. We help patients find what it is they are looking to improve, including all the confidence that goes along with something as simple as a smile.

Dental health is important to your overall physical health. However, finding a dentist you trust can be challenging. Prosthodontists, like Dr. Ryne Johnson of Newton Prosthodontics, are specialists who generally see fewer patients each day than a general dentist.  Therefore they spend more time with their patients delivering outstanding results.  Prosthodontists have three additional years of training or schooling than general dentists and prosthodontists’ patient-base are generally more demanding.

Prosthodontists are perfect for patients with some specific types of concerns:

• An educated patient who is seeking a specialist for mouth, teeth or jaw pain and has grown frustrated with volume-oriented, mainstream practices.
• People who have very high aesthetic demands and want to, ‘get-it-right’ the first time. Prosthodontists often lead a team of specialists, technicians and other dentists to craft a beautiful smile.
• Many people are retaining their teeth late into their life.  Even the best dentistry has a life span and begins to fail over time.  A prosthodontist is best suited to develop a comprehensive plan.
• People are taking better care of their oral health and are less likely to tolerate removable, ‘false teeth’.  Prosthodontists can develop a strategy using dental implants, crowns, bridges and veneers.
• Rare syndrome patients, cancer patients or patients born with malformed teeth can see a prosthodontist in order to address the problems of their teeth and gums.
• Those with severely worn teeth from acid reflux and modern diets can see a prosthodontist for veneers to replace missing tooth structure or to help stabilize a collapsed bite.

At Newton Prosthodontics we want you to be happy with your dental care, and thrilled with your smile. Dr. Ryne Johnson believes in educating his patients on their choices and enabling them to make an educated decision based on ALL the available information.

But don’t take out word for it. Take the word of other specialists in the dental industry who often refer their clients to Dr. Johnson.
 
“As a dental specialist, I have the opportunity to work with many professionals in the dental community.  I have worked with Dr. Johnson for many years and aside from being a great diagnostician, his high level of patient care is reflected in his work.  He is accurate, detailed oriented, and practices the most up-to-date methods of dental treatment. This is not only important to his patients and the outcome of their treatment, but affects how I do my job.  I look forward to, appreciate, and value any opportunity to work with him and his staff and have a deep respect of his dedication and commitment to a high standard of patient care.”

Dr. Leonard Strauss, Periodontist – Newton, MA

“Dr. Ryne Johnson has been very caring and well respected in his field of prosthodontics and esthetic dentistry for several decades.  We have worked together on many complex Perio/Prostho/Dental Implant cases and I find him very detailed-oriented and compassionate about his work.  He always reaches out for the highest standard of dentistry and innovation to help deliver the best for his patients.  I know, first hand, that his patients and colleagues value his commitment to the quality of his work.”
