Cosmetic dentistry including bleaching, cosmetic porcelain  veneers, invisible braces, tooth colored fillings and porcelain crowns are very important aspects to the modern dental practice.

For people who suffer from low self esteem and pressures to smile in front of a camera these procedures can be their best friend.  Since the smile is the first thing noticed by others possessing a confident smile also shows higher self confidence and self worth to others.

I treated a neighbor of mine with cosmetic dental veneers and crowns about 2 years ago and saw him at a neighborhood birthday party the other day.  He saw me and started bragging that these (as he was pointing at his teeth) are the best investment I have ever made.  You see that they will last him many years to come whereas the investments in housing and the stock market have gone down his smile hasn’t.  He is a business owner in the Metro Detroit area and he  had to sell his services to professionals.  With a poor smile he lacked the confidence to present himself in front of banks and others in decision making positions.  Once he had a beautiful smile that he was proud of his exterior was reflective of  his interior and this made a difference in his demeanor and outlook.

The Snap on smile is a technique used by Shelby Twp. MI dentist Robert Antolak to enhance the appearance of one of his patients. This technique is an easy and affordable way to improve your smile. This is not a permanent method of enhancing the smile but can last a couple of years according to the manufacturer. In this video his patient has significant wear on his teeth from years of grinding or bruxism. Because his teeth are short he benefited greatly from having longer teeth. It not only looks better but he will be able to chew better because of the replacement of the missing tooth length.

Top teeth also can look better using this temporary technique. If your teeth are short, small or spaces in between them this could be the treatment you are looking for since it costs around $1000 for an entire arch (upper or lower jaw).

Porcelain Crowns or veneers can cost that much per tooth so this is a good way to make a nice improvement for that special occasion.

If you think you may be a candidate for this then give Dr. Antolak a call at 586.247.3500 and get yourself a free consultation to determine if this can be for you.
