When you make your New Year’s Resolutions this year, make resolutions you can keep!  Resolve to get that promotion, resolve to go on that date, resolve to get that new job. As you know, your smile IS your first impression, make it a good one.  By enhancing your smile, you enhance and improve your self confidence. When you look good, you feel good, and when you feel good people can tell.

According to Dr. Ryne S. Johnson of Newton Prosthodontics, a healthy, white, natural smile gives you self-confidence and improves people’s perception of you and your success. When you know you have a nice, welcoming smile, you feel confident.

Some people are predisposed to teeth that are easily broken or damaged or yellow. But, the important thing is now we can all have that bright white smile despite genetics or aging, through cosmetic dental procedures.  Using CAD/CAM technology, Dr. Johnson can make your smile ideal and beautiful.

Teeth whitening, veneers and bonding can all enhance your smile by focusing on improving the brightness of your teeth.  However, a comprehensive analysis and treatment plan is best PRIOR to initiating any dental procedure.  Dr. Johnson is regarded as one of New England’s finest prosthodontists and has a 20 + year reputation for outstanding aesthetic reconstructions.   You may obtain additional information on Dr. Johnson and his Newton practice by visiting, NewtonProsthodontics.com or by calling 617.965.1225.

Resolve to have a great New Year by improving your smile.  Remember, “See a specialist…the difference will make you smile."

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.

Excerpts from SFGate

Black Friday is the real beginning of gift buying season.  While you are at it, buy a gift for yourself- Teeth Whitening.  White, healthy looking teeth say a lot about a person. According to Dr. Ryne Johnson of Newton Prosthodontics, younger people generally have whiter teeth than ‘older’ people.  Thus, if you can whiten your teeth, you can appear younger!

Though you may not consciously notice someone’s teeth, a smile makes a first impression. White teeth and a healthy smile allow you to be confident and comfortable.
 
Have you noticed your teeth changing color? That happens with age. Besides the color of your teeth  changing over time, your habits also have an effect.  But as your hair and skin lighten with age, healthy looking teeth will revitalize your appearance and bring out a more youthful look.

There are a variety of ways to address ‘aged’ teeth:

Dental Bleaching:  over the counter strips, doctor-coordinated trays and in-office techniques.
Veneers:  a thin shell of porcelain is chemically attached to the front surface of teeth

There are indications and contra-indications for each of the above approaches and certainly advantages and disadvantages with each bleaching technique.  Dr. Johnson can discuss your objectives and develop the best way to improve your smile.

To give a gift of teeth whitening to yourself for the holidays, contact Newton Prosthodontics.   If you present a copy of this blog prior to your bleaching visit, we will deduct 50% of our fees as a gift to you. What better gift to oneself than a beautiful smile?  

Dr. Johnson is accepting new patients. He reminds you to visit the office website for more information (www.NewtonProsthodontics.com) and to, “see a specialist…the difference will make you smile”.
