Torrance Cosmetic Dentist Discusses Latest AACD Statistics and Smile Makeovers

Redondo Beach, CA (PRWEB) November 09, 2011

At his cosmetic dentistry practice in Torrance, CA, Dr. Michael Fulbright says he has observed a growing number of patients elect combined procedures for a comprehensive smile makeover. Often pairing teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, Invisalign?, and other cosmetic enhancements, Dr. Fulbright says smile makeovers have been on the rise in the past five years as patients continue to desire the aesthetically-focused smiles portrayed by the media and reality makeover TV shows. A recent statistic by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) reports that teeth whitening procedures have increased by 300% in the past five years and porcelain veneers by 250%. Dr. Fulbright says the increase is likely a result of patients becoming aware of the benefits of combining procedures and minimizing the number of visits required to achieve the desired results.

Dr. Fulbright says that cosmetic dental procedures on the whole have risen at his practice from corrective treatments such as clear braces to cosmetic enhancements like teeth whitening. The latest AACD member poll expects further popularity of teeth whitening, as 77% of member dentists predict it to be the top office procedure for 2011. Dr. Fulbright says teeth whitening is already one of the more popular procedures included in a smile makeover at his practice and will only continue to grow as it receives more national recognition.

Regardless of whether patients are seeking a full smile makeover or just a single procedure like teeth whitening, Dr. Fulbright says choosing an experienced and caring dental practice is the most important contributor to achieving the best results. According to Dr. Fulbright, the most important thing to look for when choosing a cosmetic dentist for a smile makeover procedure is whether they are affiliated with the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD). ?This demonstrates that the dentist has had the necessary training to perform these procedures and is being held to the highest standards in the field. Also, asking for or looking at before and after photos of similar procedures is a good way to see if the doctor can meet your needs.?

About Dr. Michael Fulbright

Michael Fulbright DDS earned an undergraduate degree in Biology from the University of California at Irvine and a degree in Dental Hygiene from the University of Southern California (USC). He continued his dental education at the School of Dentistry at USC, receiving his Doctorate in Dental Surgery in 2000.

Links Between gum Disease and Diabetes a Critical Issue for Heavily Hispanic San Antonio, Cosmetic Dentist Warns

San Antonio, TX (PRWEB) November 16, 2011

There is a potentially deadly link between oral health and diabetes, veteran San Antonio cosmetic dentist Dr. Edward J. Camacho warns, as the country observes November?s National Diabetes Month. It?s an especially crucial issue for the Alamo City, whose nearly two-thirds majority Hispanic population is almost twice as likely to develop diabetes as the overall U.S. population

An estimated 26 million Americans ? about 8.3% of the population ? have diabetes, according to the American Diabetes Association. And nearly 80 million Americans ? more than a quarter of the nation?s residents, are estimated to have pre-diabetes ? a condition that could tip over into clinical diabetes in a number of ways.

Those who already have diabetes have special dental risks; gum disease and diabetes have a dangerous symbiotic relation. Gum disease is a risk factor that could push a person with pre-diabetes into full-blown diabetes. Gum disease also dramatically increases other life-threatening conditions, including heart disease.

Dr. Camacho said gum disease and diabetes are related in a number of ways:

????Diabetes means higher levels of glucose ? or sugar - in the blood, but it also means higher levels of glucose in saliva. Uncontrolled blood glucose means that extra sugars in the saliva provide much better conditions for the bacteria responsible for tooth decay and gum disease.

????Diabetics, who generally have more serious problems with infections than others, are more vulnerable to gum disease, and it can become more severe quickly. In fact gum disease is one of the warning signs of early diabetes.

????Gum disease and diabetes each can make the other condition worse. Oral health problems can make diabetes worse, while diabetes can in turn cause or worsen gum disease.

????Some researchers think gum disease may play a role in the development of diabetes, by pushing those with pre-diabetes conditions over the edge into clinical diabetes.

????Elevated blood glucose affects the body?s circulation and impairs the work of white blood cells. This causes healing problems in general, including the repair of oral surgery and rolling back gum disease.

?It?s hard to overemphasize the importance of oral health on the body as a whole,? said Dr. Camacho. ?Diabetes is a killer for Americans as a whole, and it?s even worse for Hispanics and African-Americans. This month is a good time to get a diabetes screening, as well as to start a dedicated regiment of oral health.?

Dr. Camacho recommends some steps for patients with diabetes:

While new-patient questionnaires ask for information about diabetes, it is often the case that an existing patient is diagnosed. This is especially the case among middle-aged or seniors, who are diagnosed later in life. Given the links between diabetes and gum disease, patients should keep the dentist informed about the diagnosis, as well as new medications.

Because the symptoms can be minor in the early stages, gum disease may be well established before it?s diagnosed. If your dentist alerts you to gum disease, you should consider screening for diabetes, especially if you are middle-aged or older, or if you have other symptoms of diabetes.

Diabetic patients should follow the same dental hygiene habits recommended for everyone, but with the extra motivation of understanding the diabetes/gum disease link. Dentists recommend brushing daily with fluoride toothpaste and flossing every day. Gentle brushing is recommended, because of the higher risk of healing problems for diabetics.

?Gum disease and diabetes play off one another in a deadly cycle, with the gum disease stoking the diabetes, and the diabetes feeding the bacterial infection in the mouth.? Dr. Camacho said. ?But the cycle can work the other direction, too. Aggressive control of blood glucose can greatly reduce the nourishment needed by bacteria in the teeth and gums; and treatment of gum disease, including serious attention to daily oral hygiene, can reduce the harmful effects of worsening diabetes.?

New York City (PRWEB) November 23, 2011

NYC Cosmetic Dentist Dr. Michael J. Wei is providing smile makeovers and repairing teeth for New York City area patients who have damaged, chipped or misaligned teeth and are embarrassed by their smile.

Statistics of a survey of American adults found that your smile is the first thing people notice about your appearance. Yes, most people are not satisfied with the appearance of their smile:

The advantage of Lumineers by Cerinate over porcelain veneers is they are a less invasive option to porcelain veneers and are a pain-free dental procedure. Lumineers give patients a natural-looking, bright, white smile that can last a lifetime with the proper care.

Wei. ?Our clients like Cerinate Lumineers because they are effective for repairing teeth, straightening teeth without braces and provide them with a fantastic natural-looking new smile.? ?Patients want a less invasive option and want a pain free smile makeover.?

Asheville, NC (PRWEB) December 08, 2011

99.7% of Americans believe a smile is an important social asset according to a recent survey from the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD). Additionally, 74% of survey participants believe a person?s smile greatly impacts their chance for success.

S. over the past 5 years: since 2006, teeth whitening procedures have increased by 300%, and porcelain veneers by 250%.

As more patients undergo cosmetic dental procedures like teeth whitening, or multi-phase dental procedures, such as Invisalign? and full mouth restoration, Dr. Kleive believes research is the best tool patients can use to ensure quality service and satisfying outcomes. ?Patients who research procedures and providers in advance are more likely to be participants in the dental treatment experience. When patients are engaged and invested in making decisions with their treatment, everyone benefits.?

As he urges patients to stay informed, Dr. Kleive says continuing education also plays an integral role in the continued success of any dental practice. As the AACD study highlights, more patients are undergoing cosmetic dental procedures because they believe their smile is important, both in their social and professional lives. Dr. Kleive says continuing education better equips him and his team with the latest technological advancements in the dental industry.

?As a lifetime learner, drawing upon the experiences of other dentists is one way to enhance the services I provide my patients.

Simpler Smile Makeovers with Bronx Cosmetic Dentist

Bronx, NY (PRWEB) December 13, 2011

At his center for cosmetic dentistry in Bronx, NY, Dr. Victor Oelbaum says smile makeovers can give patients a stronger sense of confidence in their appearance and a healthier outlook on life. With an increase of 300% in teeth whitening procedures and 250% in porcelain veneers according to the most recent study from the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD), the popularity of aesthetic dental treatments is only expected to rise. Dr. Oelbaum, however, stresses that a complete makeover is not always necessary to make patients feel better about the appearance of their smile. With minor cosmetic alterations and good, simple oral habits, he adds that patients can see a noticeable difference in their teeth. "One tooth can affect the whole smile. Cleaning, bleaching, or correcting other imperfections in that one tooth can rejuvenate a patient's smile and improve their overall confidence."

Through routine cleanings and consistent oral health, Dr. Oelbaum says patients can also help prevent the harmful oral complications that lead to discomfort, infection, and an overall unattractive mouth. He says keeping teeth clean and healthy will minimize the risk of further disease and infection that might necessitate procedures such as periodontal gum treatment for gum disease. Dr. Oelbaum stresses the importance of keeping gums healthy in order to preserve a natural and beautiful smile, but also to improve their overall health. "Taking care of your mouth with routine cleanings can improve periodontal and oral health, which can have a tremendous impact on our patients' general health and well-being."

Dr. Oelbaum says patients should consider both the cosmetic and health-related benefits of smile makeovers to increase confidence and maintain good personal hygiene. He recommends scheduling routine appointments with an experienced and qualified dental practice so as to achieve the best results in a smile makeover and the highest level of patient satisfaction. At his practice, Dr. Oelbaum says he is committed to providing patients with the resources and expertise to keep a healthy and aesthetically-pleasing mouth. "We strive for excellence in dentistry and remain dedicated to whole mouth care."

About Victor Oelbaum, DDS

Dr. Victor Oelbaum graduated from the University of Maryland and has been practicing dentistry for 26 years.

La Jolla Cosmetic Laser Clinic Shows What's Behind the Magic of Lasers and Fillers at Monthly Open Houses

La Jolla, CA (Vocus/PRWEB) December 19, 2010

Dr. Nasrin Mani, progressive Anti-Aging Board Certified Physician, establishes an ?open door? policy for the public. Believing education is vital to the right choices, a monthly Open House offers a glimpse inside today?s cosmetic medical practice.

It?s ?Open House? on a select day every month at one of San Diego?s busiest laser clinics. Dr. Nasrin Mani, an elegant female physician who is also one of San Diego?s Top Doctors for 2010, makes it easy for those who wish to learn more about today?s cosmetic technology and offerings. By inviting the public to stop in and freely chat with staff, she finds that most people simply want clarification of what, exactly, these technologies can offer for them on a personal basis.

Since there?s no formal appointment, there?s no pressure and potential clients love the low key atmosphere.

In response to questions such as ?Does it hurt?? ?Will it work for me?? ?What does it cost?? ?How long does it last??, visitors receive a mini-education on fillers, lasers, lights, topical pigmentation busters and prevention techniques.

?It?s been my pleasure to unwrap the mystery that comes with much of today?s more complicated medical procedures for looking better. Surgery is not an option for many patients; actually most of the procedures we perform here have no surgical equivalent anyway. I firmly believe that when one understands the options out there, the decisions are much easier to make,? states Dr. Mani.

The La Jolla Cosmetic Laser Clinic houses a wide selection of FDA approved lasers which can tighten skin, remove or at least considerably lighten pigmentation and brown spots, diminish wrinkles, smooth acne scarring and reduce the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite.

Dr. Mani is a prolific user of Sculptra, the single biggest innovation in volume restoration available. Sculptra creates a self-production of natural collagen to replace lost facial fat, the biggest element in facial aging. ?I love it!? exclaims Dr. Mani. ?With so many women (and men) trying to stay in shape by keeping strict tabs on weight, they sacrifice the natural more youthful plumpness that fat provides in the face. Having a thin and trim physique is great; but a gaunt and hollow face can make you look much older and certainly tireder than you are. Sculptra produces the most natural overall facial volume replenishment I?ve seen. It truly is my favorite injectable. And it LASTS!?

Visitors are free to become patients during Open House days if there is time. With special price offerings in place for the day, many visitors choose to try a filler or wrinkle relaxer - or even sign up for a face-saving laser treatment.

Notifications of Open House schedules are posted on the practice website http://www.LaJollaLaser.com and email notifications are sent to those who join the VIP Program.

Dr. Nasrin Mani has over 20 years? surgical and laser experience. She is a trainer for Radiesse under the Medical Education Faculty program for Merz Pharmaceutical (previously Bioform). Her practice is a 5 time Diamond/Pinnacle Award Winner for Thermage and a Diamond Award Winner for Fraxel Laser. In addition to Dr. Mani, the medical staff includes a Certified Physician Assistant and 2 Registered Nurses as well as a full staff of Certified Medical Assistants.

La Jolla Cosmetic Laser Clinic is located at 1111 Torrey Pines Road, Suite 102, in La Jolla, Ca. Practice contact information: Wendy(at)LaJollaLaser(dot)com (800)-515-7753.

Cosmetic Dentist in Beverly Hills Discusses New Year, New You with Smile Makeovers

Beverly Hills, CA (PRWEB) December 28, 2011

The latest report from the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) shows that Americans place significant value on a person?s smile, with 99.7% of the population believing it to be an important social asset. The study also reveals that nearly three-quarters (74%) of Americans feel an unattractive smile could hurt their career success. At his Beverly Hills cosmetic dentistry practice, Dr. Kevin Sands says many patients are often more aware of their appearance during the holidays and new year because of the number of social gatherings and the chance to start fresh for the beginning of a new year.

The most recent report by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) states that over half of Americans are unsatisfied with their smile, causing a surge in cosmetic procedures in the past five years that includes porcelain veneers, which increased by 250%, and teeth whitening, which rose 300%.

He says many patients are looking to enhance their features and bring out their inner confidence and beauty through aesthetic treatment such as teeth whitening in New Jersey. ?With the new year we always see an increase in aesthetic procedures. People make commitments to improve their health and appearance or just want to get a fresh start on the new year.?

He says regular upkeep of dental hygiene can be a significant contributor to overall health as well as dental aesthetics. Through dental check-ups, Dr. Vaccaro says patients can achieve a brighter, stronger smile without the need for an additional procedure. ?Check-ups are important because we can treat and diagnose problems when they are still small. Also, we can maintain a patient?s teeth so they are always in great shape.?

While he says routine cleanings should be a regular part of any person?s oral maintenance all year long, Dr. Romano also recommends aesthetic procedures such as porcelain veneers or Invisalign in New Jersey for patients who are looking to make more pronounced changes in their dental structure for the new year. Regardless of whether one chooses a cosmetic enhancement or a regular check-up, he says consulting with an experienced and qualified dentist is essential for achieving the proper results and a satisfactory smile.
