Helaine Smith, DMD, recently took the dental industry to task for its reluctance to name cosmetic dentistry a specialty. Smith stated her comments in her cosmetic dentistry blog, http://cosmeticdentistryblog.blogspot.com/.

"No uniform guidelines exist regarding cosmetic dentistry," states Smith. "A dentist can take a seven hour course and then call himself a cosmetic dentist. The general public doesn't know that advanced cosmetic dentistry techniques, such as full-mouth reconstruction and replacing crowns and bridges with dental implants, are not taught at most dental schools. On top of that, the American Dental Association is reluctant to recognize dentists who have completed the rigorous requirements and examinations to achieve the title of Fellow in the Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD)."

Smith's remarks come at a time when the cosmetic dentistry industry is booming in the U.S. and abroad. Television shows like "Extreme Makeover" educate the public about how cosmetics like veneers and professional toothe whitening can significantly change a person's looks. To date, no exact numbers exist on how much money U.S. consumers are spending on cosmetic dentistry. However, the AACD reports that in 2004, tooth whitening procedures had grown 300% in the previous five years.

According to the 2004 AACD survey http://www.aacd.com/media/releases/pr2005_05_02.aspx, 9,000 dentists queried stated the aesthetic/cosmetic services provided in their offices grew an average of 12.5% in the past five years, with some doctors experiencing close to a 40% increase. And while teeth whitening remained the most commonly requested procedure, it's not the most advanced cosmetic dentistry technique.

"People want to feel good about themselves," states Smith, "and it's understandable that that teeth whitening and veneers are what most people think of with regard to cosmetic dentistry. The growth rate in these services is due to the fact that general dentists can easily add teeth whitening and veneers to their line of services – indeed, you can find teeth whitening storefronts at the mall!"

"However," Smith adds, "highly trained cosmetic dentists also perform complex procedures for people with significant oral issues ranging from deformed musculature to full-mouth reconstruction."

Smith advises consumers considering cosmetic dentistry to carefully check practitioners' credentials. AACD Fellows, for example, must complete 500 practice hours and pass a 400-question examination. Cosmetic dentists with advanced training usually have a degree from the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Cosmetic Dentistry in Las Vegas, Nevada. According to LVI, more than 3,000 dentists world-wide have received their post-graduate training from the Institute.

Sums up Dr. Smith, "Consumers should find a dentist who treats the whole person, not just the tooth. Don’t be afraid to ask your dental professional for his or her credentials. The Internet is a wealth of information –- it pays to be informed before trusting anyone with your teeth."

"The first thing thats involved in a smile makeover is the patients goals. Every patient has something different that they want to accomplish with their smile so you have to find out what is it that they really want to accomplish. Once we know that we can do what we need to do. Usually we perform what's called a wax-up. We make a mock, so to speak, of the smile makeover. We show it to the patient so they can see kind of the shape that their teeth are gonna be, the length, the width, all those things that go along with it so that's kind of what's involved. After that we start the prep work and the delivery of the case." - Dr. Ban Barbat

"The benefits of a smile makeover are many. It improves self esteem. A lot of patients walk around very embarrassed, they don't want to show their teeth so they don't smile. This in turn makes them seem unfriendly. It really helps someone come out of their shell so to speak. They are able to be friendly and smile and not be so embarrassed." Dr. Ban Barbat

If you have ever seen anyone with porcelain veneers you have seen how great they can make your smile appear. You may not even realize that someone has veneers because of the way they look like natural teeth. Like any dental procedures there are ideals about them that may not be true.

The first myth is that veneers are only for your front teeth.

Veneers can be used on any of your teeth. Usually patients choose to affix veneers to the most visible teeth but the option for all teeth is there.

Another myth is that veneers are out of the average person's price range. Veneers are available through credit lines and payment plans which makes them available for more and more patients. To find out more about veneers contact Dr. Ban Barbat & her experienced staff at her Utica Cosmetic Dentist Office.

The Makkar Pure Power Mouth Guard has been gaining a lot of media attention, especially in the sports world.

"About 40 members of the New Orleans Saints are sporting the mouthpiece invented by Truro dentist Anil Makkar while seven players of the opposition Indianapolis Colts are also using the product."

" “(The Saints) were already a great team.

They had all the right parts in place,” the 48-year-old Makkar said over the phone from Miami, where he’s attending Super Bowl festivities with the team and will take in the game Sunday. “I think all we did was give them an extra edge.”
The mouthguard properly aligns the jaw and spine, allowing for better breathing and increased range of motion and power.
It all started when Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma was fitted for a Makkar PPM last year and noticed his headaches went away. He mentioned the mouthpiece to general manager Mickey Loomis. "

To get fitted for your own personal Pure Power Mouth Guard contact Dr. Ban Barbat and her experienced Metro Detroit Michigan neuromuscular dentist team today. Give yourself that necessary sporting edge, that has been used this year by Olympic Gold Medal Winners, Super Bowl Winners and powerhouse athletes from everysport to naturally and healthily enhance their natural abilities.

Some people get veneers to fix cosmetic issues that can range from discoloration to misaligned and unusually shaped teeth. Veneers can also fix issues with teeth that are broken, chipped, or worn down. Other people get veneers to cover up gaps or overlapping teeth. They not only provide a natural looking smile but they also last about five to ten years before needing to be replaced.

If you have ever wanted to perfect your smile dental veneers could be the right choice for you.
