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.

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.

Nothing beats a first impression and your smile speaks for you and makes that first impression. In recent years there has been a dramatic increase in interest in cosmetic dentistry.  Everyone knows that having a healthy, bright, attractive smile enhances their appearance. When we can smile with confidence our own self confidence increases.  Thanks to modern cosmetic dentistry, we are able to improve our teeth, facial bone structure and smiles with quick, painless and affordable treatments.

Cosmetic dental treatments can change the size, shape, and alignment of certain teeth; fill in unattractive spaces between your teeth; improve or correct your bite; brighten the color of your teeth; or replace missing teeth. People see cosmetic dentists for different reasons, one being basic comfort. Through accidents or genetics, your teeth may have been broken or may have grown in a way that gives you discomfort. In some cases orthodontic work is not possible or has not been successful. For many the best alternative is cosmetic dentistry.

Many undergo cosmetic dentistry to enhance their smile. Cosmetic dentistry is becoming more and more common for everyone. People in every industry and field are turning to cosmetic dentists to get the smile they have always wanted. If you want to improve your smile and make the most of a first impression, contact Newton Prosthodontics today.

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.

... By Michael Graham

So a while back I was at a Fisher House event and I met John is a big time investment banker, executive here in Boston.  He asked me is the stuff about Dr. Ryne Johnson of Newton Prosthodontics is that legit? I'm trying to think of a nice way to put it, We want to know, did you really go? Did he really take care of you? And I said look, absolutely!

Dr. Johnson took great care of me, and I told him about how much I hate going to the dentist, and that I wanted work to be done that would be done to last as long as possible, that was my priority I wound not have to go back kind of approach. But I really like how Dr. Johnson gave me a lot of choices, and we work with him.

So last week I caught up with John again, he's been to see Dr. Ryne Johnson of Newton Prosthodontics, and he absolutely loved it!  One thing he mentions spontaneously, was he loved the fact that Dr. Johnson brought him into the process, when normally it's "Hi I'm your dentist, I'm going to do this, lets go."

With Dr. Johnson he has so many  choices available, because he has the latest technology - CAD CAM Dentistry, because of all the specialized extensive training he has as a Prosthodontist and because he knows so much, he gives you so many choices. John said he really loved the fact that he was able to go step by step, and say okay this is what we're trying to do and here are the decisions we are going to make for my smile, I liked it.
