Cosmetic Dentist in Cincinnati, OH

So one of the strong points of our practice, an emphasis, has been the aesthetic implications of treatment, and that can vary so widely – anything from people that have worn-down teeth because of years of grinding and abuse, to people that want just a more fresh smile in more of the cosmetic range. Cosmetics – everything we do has a cosmetic implication. We do a lot of what you might term as “smile makeovers” where we're dealing primarily with the smile zone in the mouth, freshening up that smile, make it look like you did when you're 18, and good. So it's a very fun thing to do. It’s transformational for the patients. They feel so much better and confident about how they look and how they feel. It's very exciting to do that kind of work.

So when people come in with the aesthetic concerns, it's important to know that we don't have a one-approach solution to any one particular patient's concerns. It's always a customizable treatment plan. It has to do with the patient's visualization of their outcome, what they want it to look like, and that's the huge difference. So we go into it with an open mind, and we design something that the end result is what they want, and then I then know what I need to do. So we can do things like all-ceramic crowns, we can do bleaching, a combination of those. Sometimes it's a matter of using Invisalign to get the teeth in a more aesthetic position prior to work. We do a lot of veneer work, but one thing that we do do that distinguishes us from pretty much any practice are prepless veneers, where we don't actually have to shape the teeth to give a cosmetic result, and that's a huge advantage in our practice, that we can be very careful and kind to the existing teeth yet give you that awesome smile when we're done.

Well, this is something that's evolved a lot over the years, but we've always been focused on cosmetic dentistry, even before really it was a term. Now with the advancement of computers and the digital photography, we have programs on the computer where we actually design the smile to allow the patient to see what it's going to look like, and we're able to measure precisely certain parameters that need to be there, and I think we do a tremendous job of that. I've taken many courses at the Spear center down in Phoenix, which is considered kind of world-known as the cosmetic center of the world, to be honest with you. And we just really do a good job on that.

Well, cosmetics is a pretty broad topic, and when you really think about it, everything we do has a cosmetic component to it, but we do anything from veneers, which is a sort of total smile makeover with porcelain, to sometimes a patient will have an individual tooth that for whatever reason there's a problem, and we can address that with maybe a crown or some bonding. Bleaching is a very simple way for a patient to improve things. So there's a myriad of possibilities in that category.
