				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="padding-top: 4px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 4px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px;">At his center for <span style="color: #0044ac;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;">cosmetic dentistry in New York</span></span>, Dr. Michael Kosdon says porcelain dental veneers have grown significantly in popularity over the past few years as more and more patients begin to see the benefits that an improved smile can offer to both confidence and appearance. While the American Association of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) reports that <span style="color: #0044ac;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;">porcelain veneers</span></span>procedures have increased by 250% in the past five years, Dr. Kosdon says patients have only recently begun to seek the procedure at his practice as a way to enhance lip fullness and plumpness. He says porcelain veneers can help increase confidence and improve one’s smile by augmenting natural lip shape. “Dental veneers are a very common cosmetic dentistry procedure in our office, but only recently have patients discovered what veneers can do to produce fuller lips, reduce wrinkles, and improve the appearance of the entire face.”</p>
<p style="padding-top: 4px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 4px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px;">Performed by adhering a thin, wafer-like strip of porcelain to the surface of teeth, Dr. Kosdon says the added thickness of the veneers pushes out one’s natural lip curves to create a more rounded, ample shape. With a dental procedure like <span style="color: #0044ac;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;">porcelain veneers in New York City</span></span>, he adds that patients can experience plump, luscious lips without having to undergo plastic surgical procedures or dermal fillers. “Dental veneers can improve the look of the smile and the entire face, and are permanent unlike dermal fillers. With veneers, patients can permanently enhance their lips and remove or reduce wrinkles in the corner of their mouth without having to endure frequent injections.”</p>
<p style="padding-top: 4px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 4px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px;">As with any procedure, Dr. Kosdon says he recommends consulting with an experienced and dedicated cosmetic dentist before proceeding with any cosmetic enhancement. However, he adds that through the skilled hands of a qualified dentist, patients can achieve full, natural lips to complement their overall appearance.</p>

<p style="line-height: 1.333em; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; word-wrap: break-word; margin: 0px;"><a href="http://www.cosmeticdentistsnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/LA29066.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-3174" title="SMILESIMPLICITY WEBINAR" src="http://www.cosmeticdentistsnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/LA29066.jpg" alt="" width="144" height="110" /></a></p>
<p style="line-height: 1.333em; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; word-wrap: break-word; margin: 0px;">Recently, a patient sought out the SmileSimplicity procedure to correct a wide gap between his front teeth.  Although he had healthy dentition and received excellent operative work from a general dentist, he was unhappy with the appearance of his smile.  The patient was referred to orthodontics, but he wanted a pain-free alternative solution that did not require the need, hassle or discomfort of being a mature adult with braces.  With SmileSimplicity, his smile was restored in just two short visits and no downtime.</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.333em; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; word-wrap: break-word; margin: 0px;">On <span class="xn-chron" style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">January 19, 2012</span>, dental professionals and patients can see this transformation by registering for <span style="color: #6099e9;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;">a complimentary webinar</span></span>.  Participants will see how Dr. <span class="xn-person" style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Robert Ibsen</span>, noninvasive dentistry authority and creator of SmileSimplicity, uses this technique to place veneers and close the gap between the upper front teeth, with no use of anesthetic shots and no removal of sensitive tooth structure and only minimal contouring of the patient&#8217;s natural teeth.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Like wrinkles, stains, chips, cracks and worn teeth show the signs of aging.  But instead of going under the knife to look younger, the new SmileSimplicity® veneer procedure can take years off your face by simply and painlessly improving your smile.  And there are no telltale scars or downtime!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.cosmeticdentistsnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/LA06290.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-3076" title="SMILESIMPLICITY SMILESIMPLICITY VENEER" src="http://www.cosmeticdentistsnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/LA06290.jpg" alt="" width="144" height="109" /></a></p>
<p>Friends will think that you had work done because you look so &#8220;refreshed&#8221; and want to know your secret.  That&#8217;s why patients nationwide are seeking out the SmileSimplicity procedure because it is a reliable and permanent solution for improving the esthetics of smiles.  And best of all, it only takes two short dental visits of under an hour each to accomplish.</p>
<p>SmileSimplicity is ideal for correcting a myriad of structural dental conditions, such as stained, chipped, gapped, and misaligned teeth and worn veneers and crowns.  In many cases, SmileSimplicity can even correct crooked teeth, eliminating the need for orthodontics.</p>
<p>During a complimentary webinar on November 30, 2011, professionals and patients can see how Dr. Robert Ibsen, noninvasive dentistry authority and creator of SmileSimplicity, uses the technique to transform a chipped tooth, an old cracked veneer, existing worn crowns and other old restorative dental work into a straighter, whiter, stronger and younger-looking smile. The procedure does not require a single anesthetic injection or removal of sensitive tooth structure.</p>

<p style="line-height: 1.333em; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; word-wrap: break-word; margin: 0px;">Dentists interested in offering SmileSimplicity as part of their services can register for the <span class="xn-chron" style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">October 26, 2011</span>, live clinical webinar and earn continuing education (CE) credits.  During the <span style="color: #6099e9;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;">complimentary two-hour webinar</span></span>, Dr. Ibsen will present a patient with an open bite and moderate to severe gingival erosion.  Unlike traditional veneers, participants will see how margin-free veneers can be used to close the bite and shield the exposed dentin, while keeping original teeth intact.  The webinar will also cover how to communicate the benefits of SmileSimplicity to staff and patients in order to create &#8220;a want&#8221; for these painless, teeth-strengthening and esthetic procedures.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Prosthodontics is one of nine dental specialties recognized by the American Dental Association (ADA) and focuses on aesthetic restoration and replacement of teeth, including procedures such as dental veneers and dental implants. Specialization in prosthodontics requires an additional two to three years of training after dental school through a hospital- or university-based program accredited by the ADA.</p>
<p>At her New York cosmetic dentistry practice, Aesthetic and Implant Dentistry of NY, Dr. Melani Kapetanakos says today’s advanced technology in dental options and prosthodontic procedures can produce dramatic results in a short amount of time. She adds that a state-of-the-art facility and dental team can make the difference in proper care.</p>
<p>Dr. Kapetanakos, who recently appeared with the American College of Prosthodontists (ACP) in New York Magazine’s Best Doctors June 2011 issue, also says that quality prosthodontics requires a dedicated and experienced staff. She adds that prosthodontists require knowledge in various fields of aesthetic, restorative, and implant dentistry, which is why Dr. Kapetanakos recommends seeing one that is certified at an accredited institution.</p>
<p>In order to achieve the best results, Dr. Kapetanakos recommends looking for a prosthodontist who has specific experience within the restorative field of dentistry. Choosing the right practice, she adds, can offer patients greater confidence and overall dental health. “When choosing a prosthodontist it is important for patients to look for someone who is active in the dental community, with a great deal of experience and extensive training.”</p>

<p>Why do veneers require particular expertise from your dentist? <a href="http://www.winchestervadentist.com/">Cosmetic dentistry</a> is as much an art form as it is a science, and a good cosmetic dentist will have experience in making porcelain veneers and other forms of dental bonding look as natural as they can be.</p>
<p>Things to look for in a cosmetic dentist include:</p>
<p>• Additional training in cosmetic dentistry, beyond the basic dental degree</p>
<p>• Extensive experience in cosmetic dentistry</p>
<p>• A before and after gallery of previous work</p>
