You Deserve a Beautiful Smile

Everyone deserves a smile that not only looks good, but makes them feel good as well.

Fortunately, we live in an age of advanced technology and knowledge. Dr. Stelmach can create that picture perfect smile you’ve always dreamed of. So, if every time you look in the mirror all you can think about is regret- regret for sliding around on your socks in the kitchen after you Mother told you not to, and then cracking your front tooth, regret for those 3 cups of coffee you require each morning to keep up with your kids and get through your meetings, regret for being born into an otherwise lovely family with a stubborn gap tooth gene- then it’s time to stop regretting and start doing something about it!

Veneers are a terrific way to solve issues like cracked, stained or slightly uneven teeth and unlike braces which can up to a year or more to complete treatment,

Veneers can be created, fitted and applied in a  three-step process:

1. Preparation: It’s generally necessary to prepare the teeth by removing a thin layer in order to make for your new porcelain veneers. Although some techniques claim not to need this preparation, be wary. As you can imagine, without making room for a new layer, you could end up with a bulky unnatural-looking result.

2. Preview: After the veneers have been fabricated, Dr. Stelmach will test them on your teeth to check their form and color. You will appreciate his careful attention to detail as he makes final adjustments.

3. Perfection: Once a perfectly beautiful result has been achieved, Dr. Stelmach uses bonding material to carefully apply your new veneers.

Top 10 Ways to Evaluate a Cosmetic Dentist

In an earlier post, I shared some of the ways I evaluate your smile to determine the best cosmetic dental plan for your needs and desire for a beautiful new smile.

Today I want to share some of the ways you can evaluate me! Changing your smile is an exciting, life-changing event. The outcome is central to many important areas of your life. Your confidence and sense of self. Your openness to the world. Your inner peace and relaxation. Not to mention your overall dental health. Therefore it's essential to find a dentist you can trust to understand both the aesthetics and health of your teeth.

Here are steps you can take when evaluating cosmetic dentists. Enjoy the process. I look forward to meeting you and sharing my best recommendations for creating your beautiful new smile.

1. Get Referrals  Best are from friends and social websites such as Yelp! and Dr. Oogle where people share their experiences in detail.
2. Evaluate the Website Compare credentials, educational background and before and after photos. Beware of hype!
3. Compare  Contact at least three dentists to begin with and make appointments for an evaluation – and keep all three appointments.
4. Communicate   Share what changes you want to make – this post on evaluating your smile will help you think it through.
5. Bring Photos! Of you and of smiles you admire. Maybe you want to restore features of your smile that have been damaged. Maybe you want a visual aid to look at as you discuss a new smile. And maybe someone else has a smile you've always loved.
6. Bring x-rays or study models  If you happen to have these, please bring them to your appointment.
7. Ask questions
1. Does the dentist have photographs of patients with conditions similar to yours
2. Does the dentist use computer imaging to design your smile.
3. Will the dentist give you a preview of your smile.
4. If you have dental fears, is the dentist an expert in gentle dental techniques.
5. Who are the assistants and technicians that will assist the dentist.
6. How much of the work will be done by the dentist vs. his technicians. '
7. How many patients does the dentist work on at the same time.
8. Listen It's easy to get caught up in a 'sell' situation. Have fun and enjoy the excitement of discussing your new smile, but at the same time, think about what's being said – and what might not be said.
9. Discuss fees  Be up-front if you have budget restrictions, but be careful of shopping for bargains or you might be opening yourself up to corrective work in the future.
10. Be early or on time This recommendation is for you, not the dental office. You want to be relaxed and focused so you can get the information you need to make the decision that's best for you.
