Smile South Florida Cosmetic Dentistry Is Offering A Limited Time Summer Invisalign Special To Both New And Current Patients

Many patients want to have the benefits of a beautiful straight smile, but do not want to be inconvenienced with wearing unsightly metal braces for several years. This is where the Invisalign method can make a difference. Invisalign is an alternative to traditional braces, where the patient uses a series of clear aligners that are custom molded to fit the patient’s teeth. The aligners are gradually repositioned over time to adjust the smile and give the desired result.

In contrast to traditional braces that are permanently fixed into the mouth during treatment, Invisalign braces are removable during eating and to brush the teeth. Heather, Marketing & Guest Services Coordinator for the South Florida Dentist, and current Invisalign patient said, “I wanted to have straight teeth for my upcoming wedding, but there was no way that I would be caught wearing metal braces for several years. This is my chance to have straight teeth in a short amount of time without anyone knowing that I am even wearing braces.”

Currently, Smile South Florida is offering a 25% off regular price special on Invisalign treatment that will run until September 1st, 2009. This offers a huge savings to the patient, especially since Invisalign is typically not covered by many dental insurance plans.

Dr. Kenneth Anenberg is the premier Fort Lauderdale Cosmetic Dentist at Smile South Florida, who specializes in the Invisalign treatment for patients. When discussing with Dr. Anenberg the reasoning for this discounted special, Dr. Anenberg mentioned that “there are so many patients who really need help, but cannot regularly afford this treatment…. This is their opportunity to get Invisalign.”

Smile South Florida Is Announcing That It Has Added Language Translation On Its Website

Smile South Florida’s main focus for its website is the ease and usability of which its clients can find what they need. With so many of our patients coming from abroad, Smile South Florida needed to be able to speak to these patients needs too. “We are seeing such a large number of international patients,” says Heather, who 

is the New Patient Coordinator for Smile South Florida Cosmetic Dentistry. “Many patients want to take a trip to south Florida for vacation/holiday, and get their cosmetic dental work done at the same time, or receive treatment while they come here for a business trip,” Heather mentioned. “In all cases, people are more than willing to travel a great distance when it comes to their long term dental health and the aesthetics of their smile.”

To accommodate a broad range of clientele, the dental practice has added a new feature on our website called the ‘language bar.’ This language bar can be found on the left hand side in the navigation area of our website. It can be easily spotted as a bar that consists of several colorful flags. Each flag is representative of the language of origin for that specific country. When you click on each flag, the website will automatically change to display that language. For example, if you click on the flag of France, the website will be translated into French for you. Currently, the dental practice website can be translated into French, Spanish, Portuguese, German, and Italian.

This makes it much easier for someone to read about the office, the services, and obtain contact information. Having a tool like this is very useful because it reaches across nations. Smile South Florida is helping patients everyday from all over the world achieve the smile of their dreams!

I Have Never Seen A Smile Gallery As Extensive As Smile South Florida’s And Where The Final Result Of Every Case Is Of Such A High Standard

Want to see the results produced by the professionals at Smile South Florida Cosmetic Dentistry? The proof is on the walls.

Congenially Missing TeethNothing seems to show what a dental procedure can do for an individual like before-and-after photos.

With that in mind, Smile South Florida Cosmetic Dentistry in Fort Lauderdale created a Smile Gallery to show patients the great results that can be achieved through cosmetic dentistry.

“It’s one thing to tell patients what we can do for them,” said Dr. Charles Nottingham, a cosmetic dentist who is the senior partner at Smile South Florida Cosmetic Dentistry. “It’s another thing to show them.”

Nestled within each elegant bronze frame that lines the newly renovated hallways, are two (8-inch x 10-inch) photos of patients’ smiles- one before photograph displaying their dental procedure and one after.

Missing and Misaligned Teeth“The patients love it,” said Office Manager Marianne Taylor. “This was the best thing to ever happen because patients see these photos and seem to feel encouraged that they are going to leave here with their desired results.”

When Taylor discusses procedures such as laminates orporcelain veneers with patients, she can walk them through the hallway and point to a visual of how the completed procedures look.

Several types of procedures are featured in the Smile Gallery.

Congenital Malformation

It is not uncommon for people to be born without certain teeth. More than five percent of people lack upper second incisors or second premolars. One example of this in the Smile Gallery shows how a patient’s missing anterior teeth were restored using two fixed porcelain Lava Bridges. The premolars were restored with porcelain veneers.

Overlapped, Crowded and Crooked Teeth

Teeth that are overlapped, crowded or crooked can cause oral health problems, such as periodontal disease, cavities and uneven wear. One example pictured in the Smile Gallery shows how a patient’s smile was restored by placing porcelain crowns on the upper teeth to give the patient a straighter, wider smile than her original upper arch, which was too narrow and tilted inward.

Poorly Shaped Teeth

Photos in the Smile Gallery show how natural teeth that are oddly shaped and pointed in different directions can be improved with porcelain restorations.

Reverse Smile and Small Teeth

An imaginary line around the incisal edges of the upper front teeth should follow the superior border of the lower lip. This is called the “smile line.” When the centrals appear shorter than the canines, this is referred to as the “reverse smile line.” Smile Gallery photos show how this problem can be corrected by using porcelain veneers and crowns to create longer central teeth, a wider arch and improve the shape of the teeth.

Spaces, Stains and Failed Fillings

One dramatic Smile Gallery photo shows how proper fitting and anatomically correct porcelain crowns were used to close the spaces between teeth, decrease the flair of upper anterior teeth and re-contour the teeth.

“The Smile Gallery not only shows patients various types of dental improvements achieved through cosmetic dentistry, it gives patients confidence to follow through with suggested procedures”, Taylor said.

Taylor recalled a recent patient who was so self-conscious about her teeth; she feared showing them to the dentist. Once Taylor walked the patient through the smile gallery and showed her the ‘before’ pictures of several other patients, the woman felt less self-conscious.

“This woman thought she was going to be the absolute worst case the doctors had ever seen,” Taylor noted. “One trip through the Smile Gallery showed her this was not true.”

Dentist Dr. Charles Nottingham and the Extreme Makeover Dental Lab Film Dental Documentary

Smile South Florida® Cosmetic Dentistry is announcing that it will be joining forces with da Vinci Dental Studios (ABC’s Extreme Makeover Dental Lab) to begin filming a dental documentary piece, which will be produced by the Emmy Award Winning Plum Television. This documentary will air on Plum Television (Miami Beach Channel 5) in April 2009. The story behind the piece is to provide viewers with insight into the shared values and history of da Vinci Dental Studios and Smile South Florida Cosmetic Dentistry.

Dr. Nottingham

Da Vinci’s founder, Daniel Materdomini, will be featured in the film, along with Smile South Florida Cosmetic Dentist, Dr. Charles Nottingham. Mr. Materdomini and Dr. Nottingham have been working together for over 20 years, taking cosmetic dentistry to a new level of excellence. Mr. Materdomini and da Vinci Dental Studios have showcased Dr. Nottingham’s smile gallery cases in several predominant dental magazines. Dr. Nottingham even performed restorative work on Mr. Materdomini’s mother.

In offering feedback on the work that South Florida Dentist Dr. Nottingham completed for his mother, Mr. Materdomini said that, “if the Extreme Makeover show was filmed in Florida, I am sure [Dr. Nottingham] would be the providing dentist.”

During filming, Dr. Nottingham explained to Plum TV that many years before ABC’s Extreme Makeover Show made da Vinci Dental Studios a household name for porcelain veneers, Dr. Nottingham had selected them as his dental lab of choice. With hundreds of dental labs in the local area to choose f r o m, Dr. Nottingham decided to have his dental materials shipped across the country, in order to perfect his results. Dr. Nottingham went on to mention that da Vinci continues to share his commitment to quality and service.

Lumineers: Some Common Misconceptions

We, at Smile South Florida Cosmetic Dentistry, pride ourselves on giving you the highest level of customer service and latest technology in dentistry offered today. We are always upfront with our patients and treat them as if they are all a part of our dental family.

Our goal is to educate patients on some common misconceptions in dental marketing that can be misleading and not give the entire story. One such example is with the popular brand Lumineers by Cerinate.

Lumineers are considered a type of porcelain veneer “smile shaper” that boasts catch phrases such as “no reduction of tooth structure (no filing down of teeth), no shots, 2 easy dental visits, permanently whitens” and many others. While these statements can have some string of truth behind them, in most cases this will not be the situation –not if you ask any top cosmetic dental professional.

While the popular Lumineers can, in very few situations, be completed in 2 easy visits with little to no pain, drilling, and preparation, this is not going to be necessarily true for everyone. It all depends on the condition of the teeth, and what the best treatment scenario would be to give the best aesthetic outcome. If a patient has very bulky teeth and wanted to place even the “contact lense thin” Lumineer shell over the tooth, some preparation and drilling would be necessary for the outcome to have a better, less bulky look. There are other situations where the patient would not be a candidate for Lumineers. It would all need to be determined by a cosmetic dentist.

As far as the color and shade of the Lumineers, there is not a variety of color choiceslike traditional veneers. Veneers colors and shades are specifically selected by the doctor and the patient together so that the best result is achieved. With Lumineers, there is no variation so everyone will get the same result regardless of what the best color/shade would be for each individual person.

If you look at the before and after photos featured on the Lumineers website, you will see some improvements in the look of the teeth after Lumineers have been used. I am not discrediting that they can make a change in people’s dental aesthetics; however, compared to traditional veneers and crowns, the differences are very substantial. If you look at our smile galleries and the before and after pictures, you can compare the dramatic differences in the quality of the aesthetics for our patients.

When you are thinking of a south florida dentist or a dentist in florida for Lumineers treatment, make sure you do your research to make an informed decision, and consult a dental professional that has done extensive quality veneers cases.

The dentists at Smile South Florida Cosmetic Dentistry have offices in Broward County and Boca Raton and provide patients Boca Raton Cosmetic Dentistry, Fort LauderdaleCosmetic Dentistry, and Miami Cosmetic Dentistry. The dentists specialize in porcelain veneers, dental implants, extreme makeovers, Invisalign, and sedation dentistry.
