To All of My Friends: I must say I have never had such a wonderful dental experience! A friend called me today after a meeting & said “You have such a beautiful smile, what did you do to your teeth?” Can you imagine how excited I was when I got to tell them?? It was so much fun & it made me feel so good that someone noticed. Thank you all for everything. See you in October! God Bless All […]

We just finished treating a patient whose teeth had always been very dark. If a child is given the antibiotic tetracycline that will cause whichever permanent teeth that are still developing and are not yet erupted into the mouth to be permanently stained a dark grey-brown color.  Therefore, this should not be used in children under the age of 12 or so when all the permanent teeth (except wisdom teeth) are finished developing.  After that point, this antibiotic causes no […]

One of the common problems I see is in patients who have worn down their teeth. The fronts are flat on the edge and are shorter than they used to be. These teeth may be sensitive and are often obviously thin on their biting edges. Teeth that are worn shorter and flat –edged make a person look older! Chipped, broken teeth or teeth with dark areas between them (either from cavities, old fillings or stains) give the same effect. When […]

I have been engaged in a series of high-level seminars in Miami, Florida. It is a series of siximplant surgery seminars plus six on cosmetic dentistry, thus twelve 2-day weekends in all. I and a small group of doctors from as far as Vancouver, have been taught by some of the most well-known and talented dentist in the country. So far (through nine installments) our teachers have been from Paris, (France), Chicago, Atlanta, Las Vegas, Miami, Virginia, Seattle-truly the best […]

We saw a young woman today who had very pretty teeth overall but who felt that her two upper front teeth (central incisors) were to long and too big, out of proportion to the next-door tooth on each side (the lateral incisors), which were too small. As a result, she felt she had “bunny teeth” and wanted them to look better. This is a simple case! By placing porcelain dental veneers on those top four teeth we can make the […]

One of the things that I really enjoy is being able to tell a patient that has various types of treatment needs that “Everything we’ve talked about, I can do for you. You don’t have to go anywhere else.”  I see the relief in their eyes as they realize they don’t have to go to Midland for root canals, then to an oral surgeon for the wisdom teeth or implants, then to a periodontist to treat their gums, to an […]
