 - Jim Braude, 96.9 WTKK-FM and New England Cable News - "Michael Graham and I are patients of Ryne Johnson of Newton Prosthodontics.  I have spoken to so many of you who have made Dr. Johnson your dentist too ... lawyers, physical therapists, retired men and women, accountants, people in the media, people in working construction, and more. Well, add me to the list as my smile is my living."

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."

Technological advancements in Dental Implants are very exciting. As we know there is really nothing that makes an impression or speaks about a person more than a smile.

Dental implants have been around a long time, and they are essentially root replacements for restorations of teeth. They can be utilized to replace a single missing tooth, replace numbers of missing teeth, and they can support a whole dentition of teeth. 

There are numerous situations that are appropriate for dental implants. In the  past dentists have had to invade the structures of the other teeth. Implants are great because that no longer needs to be done. So single or multiple teeth can be replaced, or for people wearing dentures, the dentures can be stabilized. Even better, denture wearers can now receive fixed teeth.

The technology is also improving over time. With the newest and latest technology, prosthodontists can place more implants in a mouth, the healing time is shorter and the implants last longer. So the improvements to the technology are really three-fold.

Dental patients with who are seeking aesthetic improvements to their teeth should see a prosthodontist for implants because they really are the specialist in replacing teeth. Prosthodontists have more education after dental school. Prosthodontists are the primary architects for full mouth reconstruction and aesthetic situations.

There is no tool in business that is more important than your smile.

The motto or philosophy at Newton Prosthodontics is “See a Specialist, the difference will make you smile.”

A prosthodontist is a dental specialist who is trained in the replacement of missing teeth and in the restoration of natural teeth. After dental school, a prosthodontist has three or more years of continuing education.

A prosthodontist is trained to deal with complicated as well as simple restorations of the whole mouth as well as treating facial deformities that involve the muscles themselves and jaw alignment. Common procedures treated by a prosthodontist are dentures, crowns, dental implants, veneers and full mouth reconstruction.

There are various types of problems that prosthodontists address, and those are: the frustrated patients that are in pain regularly; older patients that have a lot of existing crowns and dentures and are literally outliving their complex dental work; rare syndrome patients like teenagers with no teeth, cancer patients, or those with malformed teeth; and lastly severely worn teeth caused by acid reflux and modern diets. The final type of scenario in which prosthodontist sees patients is when people feel the need to enhance their smile aesthetically. Prosthodontists lead entire teams of specialists that can create beautiful and lasting smiles out of complex aesthetic cases.

Dental health is important to your physical well-being, but a winning smile is important part of your business success. Getting a specialist to help you maintain that smile is very important.
