Ultimately, true smile designers must be masters of many principles including mathematic, physical, chemical, biological and technical. If any one of these is either neglected or miscalculated, it will affect the final result in some way ranging from color to shape to durability. Many dentists who perform cosmetic dentistry have not been properly trained or do not have the sufficient amount of experience to predictably perform any and all smile design and full mouth rehab cases on anyone. That's how they get in trouble with cases that fail prematurely, never look right from the beginning and

As previously stated, we are on the Research and Development Board of the #1 in-office whitening system and Dr. Stanton is the national spokesman for the company mainly because we have performed more procedures than any other solo doctor in the country. With all that experience, we have developed our own regimen and technique for getting the best possible results in the shortest amount of time with practically no chance of side effects.As previously stated, we are on the Research and Development Board of the #1 in-office whitening system and Dr. Stanton is the national spokesman for the compa

One of the most common things we hear when discussing veneers is "Oh I've seen veneers before. They look so fake. They're too thick, white and unnatural." Unfortunately, there are veneers done every day by dentists that do not fully understand all the necessary principles of veneer preparation and esthetics, and thus get results with veneers that look unnatural. These unesthetic are the cases that stand out and get noticed. If veneers are done properly, you will not notice them, and you will simply think you are talking to someone who has really nice teeth!

Botox is a neuroparalyzer that is used to relax or soften the function of muscles, usually the facial muscles of expression which results in the fine lines between these muscles getting less reinforced and smoothing out, sometimes completely depending on how deep they were prior to treatment. Fillers are a completely different modality. These are hyaluronic acid-based gels (naturally occurring in the skin) that treat sunken or thinned out parts of the face that have lost collagen, most commonly the lips and nasolabial folds or "parentheses" on either side of the mouth.

Ceramic crowns are lifelike and have coloring and light reflecting properties that more resemble natural teeth. Add these esthetic properties of ceramics with the color matching advantage of Dr. Stanton’s same-day dentistry approach, and you have a restoration you can be truly confident in and show off your smile to family and friends. Plus, because the crowns are all-ceramic and have no metal, you will never see “black lines” around the edges like you would in an older-style Porcelain-Fused to Metal (PFM Crown).

Wisdom teeth or 3rd molars are one of those evolutionary leftovers like the appendix or the tailbone that don't really "fit" or serve a real function in most people. Unfortunately in most people when the wisdom teeth start to erupt in late adolescence, they often times either erupt crooked or erupt into a space that is too small to properly house them. They then only serve to damage the teeth in front of them, cause pain and increase the chance of infection. So we see that most people need to have their wisdom teeth removed at some point between adolescence and adulthood.

Endo therapy is performed by creating a very small tunnel in the top of the tooth, using a series of very narrow nickel-titanium files to travel down the pulp space or root canals to remove the affected pulp tissue and then finally shaping, disinfecting and then filling and sealing the pulp space. Once it is filled, the tooth can be restored. Teeth that have undergone endo therapy almost always have to be restored with a crown. This is because once endo therapy has been done, the tooth is no longer receiving any internal circulation and will desiccate or dry out. This is similar to the differ

Have you been involved in an accident that knocked out one or several of your teeth? Has a toothache kept you from sleeping or eating properly? Did one of your dental crowns or dental fillings fall out? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, you may need the care of an emergency Fort Lauderdale dentist. What exactly is an emergency dentist? Simply put, an emergency Fort Luaderdale dentist is a general dentist or dental specialist who is available to help you immediately, whether it’s 2 a.m. or 2 p.m. No time is a good time to have a dental emergency, but with our service, you can re

The way partials work is whatever teeth remain in an arch are unaltered. The partial is a metal or resin/acrylic framework with plastic teeth. The framework is designed to fit around and hug the remaining teeth to gain stability and retention. The plastic teeth are then bonded to this framework. Because partials require this framework, patients see them as a last resort or an option that is dictated by low fee only because the frameworks are not only cumbersome but they must run the entire length of the arch no matter how many teeth are being replaced for support. The most common objections t

Tooth loss is a serious issue. It can occur when a cavity has invaded too far into a tooth to be fixed, bone loss around the tooth is too severe to hold the tooth in any longer or trauma knocks the tooth out. What most people don't realize is that when a permanent tooth is lost, it can create a domino effect that could harm the entire area around it. The teeth on either side collapse toward the space over time, the tooth opposing it will drift into the space and the bite forces become unbalanced. Neighboring teeth take on more brunt of the force that they are designed to. There are several wa

There is a huge difference between fillings and crowns in terms of strength. What most people don't realize is that fillings actually weaken teeth, not strengthen them. The purpose of a filling is simply to fill a hole in a tooth much like spackle fills a hole in drywall with no strength. Could you imagine hanging a painting on a screw that was placed in spackle? Well, when you place in a filling that extends into a compressed functional part of the tooth, that is essentially what is happening. The filling actually draws strength from the remaining surrounding tooth structure which is why twi

CEREC is an incredible technology for you as the patient, and for Dr. Stanton as the dentist. Have you ever had conventional dental impressions taken? You likely won’t forget the experience. The process can be uncomfortable and lengthy. Because CEREC is an entirely digital system, we no longer need to use messy impression material to “take a measurement” of the crown, and temporary crowns are thing of the past as we finish the restoration in the same day. Because CEREC is an entirely digital system, we no longer need to use messy impression material to “take a measurement” of the crown, and t
