Cosmetic Dentistry - Having the
Smile You Deserve
Cosmetic Dentistry - Improving the Aesthetics of Your
Smile
Your smile is the first thing
someone notices about you, and people often make a judgement
about your personality based on your smile. Thanks to the
growing field of cosmetic dentistry, people no longer have to
live with the smile they were born with. A great smile is
not just for celebrities and Hollywood actors anymore. Now,
anyone can get the smile they've always dreamed
of.
Cosmetic dentistry differs
from traditional dentistry, which focuses on the maintenance of
good oral health and hygiene, and treating any maladies related
to the patient’s oral health.
There are many different procedures in the field of cosmetic
dentistry from teeth whitening, crowns and dental bridges,
white fillings, dental implants and of course porcelain
veneers. With cosmetic dentistry your new smile can make you
more self confident, have greater self esteem and drastically
improve your personal life and career.
It is important that you
choose a qualified and experienced cosmetic dentist. Dr LaFrom
is trained and has taken additional courses to
peforrm all of the common cosmetic dentistry procedures.
He has been doing porcelean veneers for over 20 years and has
helped many of his Bay Area patients (Cupertino, San Jose,
Saratoga) achieve a beautiful, life-changing
smile.

Cosmetic dentistry also requires an artistic touch to
produce the most attractive and natural-looking results. When
looking for a cosmetic dentist make sure you
choose one who has received training from the American
Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD). These additional courses
are an indication that the dentist has received
specialized training in the field of cosmetic
dentistry. Also make sure that your dentist has made
cosmetic dentistry a prominent feature of his/her
practice.
