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”.

Your smile makes a difference in how you navigate scenarios and in how you present yourself to others.  In many instances, it can make the difference in ‘closing the deal’, ‘getting that promotion’ or ‘getting that second date’.   Your smile should be natural and confident.  An attractive   natural smile can change the way you feel about yourself and it WILL change the way in which others see you.

Natural smiles are better and more effective than that fake-looking smile.  Dr. Ryne Johnson of Newton Prosthodontics has been able to determine the guidelines that make a smile be both beautiful and natural-looking.  Prosthodontists are specialist in restorative care and aesthetic enhancements with three years of additional above and beyond that of general dentists.

In nature nothing is perfect, rounding the corner of a tooth or changing the inclination of the tooth is a way to make the teeth look natural.  Incorporating subtleties within the ceramics can be the difference between something that looks like dentistry or something that appears radiantly beautiful.   You may want a bright white smile, but bright white may not be what is natural for you.   Most dentists add color on the exterior of their work…talented dentists/ceramists incorporate creativity WITHIN the ceramics.

Dr. Ryne Johnson will take everything into consideration when determining how to improve your smile and whiten your teeth. Your new smile with be determined by your lifestyle, facial proportions, gender, age, complexion, hair and eye color. Often people will whiten teeth in conjunction with aesthetic dental work.  

According to Dr. Johnson, the best outcomes are ones where friends and colleagues ask, “did you just return from a vacation, did you get your hair done, or you look great…what’s your secret?”   If your dentistry is noticeable, it just wasn’t done well.

So, if you set the bar high, if you expect and demand excellence, if you’re looking for a new, attractive and natural looking smile that will change your life, contact Dr. Johnson at Newton Prosthodontics.

Remember, “See a Specialist…the Difference will Make You Smile”.

You hear the term cosmetic dentistry and you think, vanity or only for the movie stars, right?  But that is not true.  Did you know that Dr. Johnson at Newton Prosthodontics is regarded as a pioneer in computer generated, aesthetic dentistry?  You get a healthier mouth but by default you get a beautiful smile.

While the goal of cosmetic dentistry is to turn a regular smile into a great one, many of the procedures involved in restoring  teeth that are crooked, chipped, stained, or have gaps are considered cosmetic.  As are procedures to repair uneven gums or replace missing teeth.

Missing teeth, chipped or stained teeth or uneven gums can lead to dental health problems, which can then lead to overall health problems.
 
So, as a result of caring for you dental health, you walk away with a beautiful or handsome smile.

Before the start of any procedure, Dr. Johnson will perform an oral exam to check your oral health. He will then talk with you about your specific objectives. The goal of cosmetic dentistry is functionality along with enhancing your appearance.

Dr. Johnson takes into consideration everything from the shape of your face, your individual teeth, and the width of your smile in order to achieve harmony in your appearance.  The nuances considered are what separate dentistry, that “looks like dentistry”, from dentistry that, “has natural-looking, radiant beauty”.

Your smile may be improved with a procedure as simple as teeth whitening or it could mean more sophisticated care incorporating dental implants, veneers or crowns. Cosmetic dentistry can enhance your confidence, but more importantly, it will increase the health of your teeth.

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.

It is not too often that you come across someone who hasn’t heard of cosmetic dentistry. However, you may come across those who would like to enhance their smile, but they don’t know how, or what that entails. While cosmetic dentistry is obviously cosmetic in its approach, it isn’t always invasive or debilitating as you may imagine. Often people do not even realize that their dental work is considered cosmetic.

Veneers, teeth whitening and implants are all part of cosmetic dentistry. Did you know that teeth whitening is actually the most common form of cosmetic dentistry?  Many people wouldn’t even put it in that category. In fact, according to Dr. Ryne Johnson of Newton Prosthodontics, many patients will perform teeth whitening in conjunction with other dental procedures.  In this way, the new dentistry does not perpetuate the darker shades often seen with aging.

There are many reasons to opt for cosmetic dentistry, comfort being one. Your mouth and teeth may just be uncomfortable and orthodontics have not been successful. In this scenario, whether through genetics or an accident, cosmetic dentistry can surely improve your comfort and lifestyle.

Many use cosmetic dentistry to enhance their smile. This group of patients is increasing more and more as we put more emphasis on white teeth and stunning smiles. More and more business people and public personalities are understanding and can appreciate what a first impression a great smile can leave. Therefore, more and more people in the general public are turning to cosmetic dentistry.

Your smile is a big tool in the business world. Previously, there wasn’t anything you could really do to fix your smile. Today things are different.

The kinds of cosmetic dentistry options that are available today vary based on your needs. Your options range from teeth whitening to bonding tooth colored filling material to porcelain veneers and caps and full crowns.

Prosthodontists can guide you in the best decision for you. One of the best ways to avoid a fake looking smile is to remember that nothing in nature is perfectly symmetrical. Subtle variations in the teeth and smile are important; perhaps rounding the corner of a tooth. Also, the shade of your smile is important, even though everyone wants that bright white one, it is important that you and your prosthodontist select a shade that is right for you.

Veneers are a popular cosmetic option for patients whose teeth that are in good condition, but  they want the color or shape improved, or would like to fill in the gaps in their natural teeth. For these patients, porcelain veneers are a great option because they are aesthetic and can enhance the teeth without having to remove much of the tooth structure. Veneers are also much more conservative than conventional caps or crowns. Prosthodontists have the skills and experience to use veneers to make a natural and aesthetic 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.

Cosmetic dentistry is a specialized field that restores and beautifies teeth. It is one of the most popular choices of cosmetic surgery today and more and more people are opting for cosmetic dental procedures to improve their appearance, comfort and lifestyle.

Cosmetic dentistry serves several purposes, one is basic comfort. From an accident or through genetics, your teeth may have been broken or may cause you general discomfort. If orthodontic work has not been successful, or is not possible, for many the best alternative is cosmetic dentistry.

Many people undergo cosmetic dentistry to enhance their smile. It is becoming more and more common for the general population. People in every industry are turning to cosmetic dentists to get the smile they have always wanted.

Seniors are finding that through implants and veneers they can increase the life of their teeth and their overall comfort. An alternative to dentures is priceless for many.

You may not even realize that your dental work is considered cosmetic. There are a number of cosmetic dental procedures available today. Some of the most common are teeth whitening, veneers, and dental implants.

Whether you are interested in cosmetic dentistry for the look or for durability, the Dr. Johnson at Newton Prosthodontics can provide you with excellent care and quality when it comes to any dental procedure.

June is the start of wedding season. Make your pictures and memories as perfect as they can be with teeth whitening from Newton Prosthodontics.

The most noticeable thing about a person is their smile. However, over time, teeth naturally become darker due to age, habits and lifestyle. Smoking and drinking coffee tea or wine, and certain foods all contribute to the staining of teeth and detract from your beautiful smile. With teeth whitening at Newton Prosthodontics you can stop worrying about your wedding pictures and be ensured of a beautiful, bright smile.

Teeth whitening (or dental bleaching) is a simple and non-invasive dental treatment that changes the color of fading or darkening tooth enamel and is an ideal way to enhance the beauty of your smile.

Dr. Johnson understands that most people like to try and take care of bleaching their teeth at home. Our in house visit jump starts the process with a chemical bleaching session. Then several “trays” are made for you to take home so you can do the less concentrated touch ups in the privacy of your own home without having to make several trips to the dentist. We understand you are busy, especially if you are the bride-to-be, so you can have professionally whitened teeth on your own time.

Having whiter teeth has now become the number one aesthetic concern for most Americans. There are a number of ways to whiten teeth. Visit your dentist first; teeth whitening products only work on natural tooth enamel, so it is important to evaluate replacement of any old fillings and crowns before whitening. Replacement of any restorations is done after bleaching so they will match your newly bleached teeth. In certain circumstances, it may be that porcelain veneers are a better solution to teeth whitening.

Visit Dr. Johnson to see how to make your smile a beautiful smile; and be sure to have perfect, lasting memories of your special day.
