Cosmetic Dentist in Kalamazoo on Conservative Approach to Smile Makeovers
(firmenpresse) - KALAMAZOO, MI -- (Marketwire) -- 08/30/12 -- According to a recent study from the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD), 99.7 percent of Americans believe a smile is an important social asset. However, similar studies from the AACD report that over half of Americans are unhappy with their smile, a statistic Dr. Brett Magnuson says has contributed to an increasing number of aesthetic dental procedures requested at his practice. Dr. Magnuson says patients are now turning to advanced cosmetic dentistry techniques like to help them achieve conservative smile makeovers that enhance the appearance of their teeth without sacrificing natural structure and strength.
Focused mainly on prosthetic reconstruction and , Dr. Magnuson's practice offers a wide variety of treatments ranging from teeth whitening to dental implants. Likely a result of the economic downturn, he says he has seen a growing demand for procedures that provide noticeable, effective results without the large price tag typically associated with cosmetic dentistry. Thanks to an innovative approach to performing porcelain veneers and other cosmetic bonding treatments, Dr. Magnuson says he has been able to produce a beautiful outcome that is both affordable and long-lasting.
"The advantage of the conservative approach is that it is minimally invasive thereby preserving more of the natural tooth," says Dr. Magnuson. "By preserving enamel and as much of the natural tooth as possible, we can achieve a natural-looking result that will provide stronger structure and last longer."
Dr. Magnuson says he uses several different types of dental veneers with varying thicknesses to help create a customized fit restoring function and a perfect smile for each patient. He says "no-prep" veneers are often used when the teeth are in good condition but the patient needs straightening or covering of imperfections and discolored teeth. "Minimal-prep" veneers are designed to help correct chipped or worn-away teeth by smoothing out the surface and providing a clean surface on which to bond the veneer. Dr. Magnuson says although these techniques can address a number of patient concerns, sometimes a more involved cosmetic procedure may be needed in the event of highly rotated teeth. However, he says the goal is to implement the most conservative techniques possible in order to achieve the desired results.
"Either approach can be used to achieve beautiful looking teeth and restorations," he says. "With a traditional, invasive approach, the patient can end up with teeth that are no longer strong enough for a lifetime of function, whereas with a conservative approach, they can end up with stronger, longer-lasting results and less complications."
Regardless of which method patients determine is the right fit for their needs, Dr. Magnuson says anyone considering cosmetic dentistry procedures such as porcelain veneers or should be sure to consult with an experienced and qualified dentist. He recommends conducting extensive research into a practice and looking at before and after pictures of actual patients to see if the results are actually indistinguishable from natural teeth before undergoing any treatment so as to ensure the safest, most effective outcome.
