This first episode of the Ben and Gary Show was aired as a Facebook Live broadcast and never published. Since, we’ve gotten better cameras, lighting and editing. Enjoy:
What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Often a patient comes in and wants cosmetic dentistry. Actually, the American Dental Association does not recognize cosmetic dentistry as a specialty.
We like to think in terms of aesthetic dentistry as the face, the lips, and the contours of the smile must be considered in improving the look of teeth.
It is not enough to change the look of the teeth. It is also a must to consider the function of the teeth. Sometimes restorative measures precede aesthetic improvements.
For us, we want to understand the expectations of patients and work with them collaboratively to make sure everybody is happy with the final results.
We have a process for this.

We also have a secret weapon for getting exceptional results. Our in house lab fabricates one off customizations for each patient.
We encourage people who want aesthetic improvements to their smiles to choose a dentist with the skill, artistry and experience to give them great results.
