Cosmetic Smile Analysis
Dr. Thomas has received extensive post-residency training in the art of creating a perfect smile. He routinely attends continuing education seminars which focus on mastering the artistic skill and diagnostic challenges associated with comprehensive cosmetic dentistry. As stated earlier, our practice focuses on the team approach to dentistry, where we work closely with your dentist, and possibly other dental specialists to deliver this exceptional level of care. In addition, Dr. Thomas lectures on topics which include treatment planning considerations to enhance cosmetic outcomes as they relate to gummy smiles, dental implants, and gum tissue recession.
To provide this level of care, a very specific and detailed analysis is performed, which will include a thorough health history, a detailed clinical examination, digital photographs, mounted models of your teeth on an articulator (if needed, this is a device which exactly reproduces your existing bite), and digital radiographs. Once we gather this information, we will study your smile and then meet with your dentist to develop an ideal treatment plan to meet your cosmetic desires. We will then set aside an appointment to show you our findings and explain your treatment options. This detailed analysis allows us, and your dentist, to provide predictable results that you can be proud of.
