Years ago, you may have liked the appearance of your teeth. Perhaps you even remember getting compliments on your white teeth or beautiful smile. But now that you are an adult, you may not be as happy with it.

According to Dr. Ryne Johnson, of Newton Prosthodontics, as people age teeth tend to get darker.  This degradation continues throughout life as the enamel on your teeth thins to reveal dentin which is naturally yellow. Additionally, some foods and certain lifestyle habits, like smoking, can also cause staining.

Of course time and adulthood also takes a toll on our teeth. You may have a chip here or there that has occurred over time or perhaps an unbalanced bite has developed. You may have silver fillings that appear dark when you smile or stains around the perimeter of old bonded fillings.  Missing teeth and the resulting tooth movement can create lack of symmetry and balance. The results of years of night time teeth grinding may have worn down your teeth and is causing head, neck and shoulder pain.

With the latest advancements in technology and dental care, Newton Prosthodontics can assist in recapturing that youthful smile.  Dr. Ryne Johnson, a trusted name since 1986 in prosthetic and aesthetic reconstructions, has helped thousands of discriminating and demanding people throughout New England.  His client list includes many of the area’s most-prominent people…many who make their living in front of a camera or dealing with the public.  One can visit NewtonProsthodontics.com for more information and testimonials.

“See a Specialist…The Difference Can Make You Smile”.

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.

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.
