WORLD-CLASS EXPERTISE AND TECHNOLOGY
AND IT’S STILL ALL ABOUT YOU.
In the general dentistry, there is a “fix it” mentality. A tooth is broken—the dentist repairs it. There’s a cavity—the dentist fills it. The “fix it” tasks in dentistry can call for an authoritarian approach, and this approach is inculcated into dentists in dental school. The dentist knows best what works and what holds up over time, and little input is needed from the patient. That is not the case with aesthetic dentistry.

There is a different mindset in
aesthetic dentistry.
In aesthetic dentistry the dentist is creating and designing, which is a very different task from repairing. For this task, the authoritarian approach needs to be replaced with a listening approach. “How do you feel about your smile?” “How white do you want your teeth?” The dentist is treating your self-perception, and everything needs to be geared toward creating a smile that will give you confidence.
This is why some dentists, who may be excellent clinicians, are simply not very good at aesthetic dentistry. This artistic, listening approach is not common in dentistry. Some dentists, however, become passionate about appearance-related dentistry. We are those kinds of dentists. Everything we do is built around you and how you feel.
