Caryn - Actual Patient

Choosing the right cosmetic dentist will directly affect the outcome of your dental work. Beautiful, healthy, and long-lasting cosmetic dentistry is an art and requires the right kind of training. Many dentists offer cosmetic procedures, but that does not always mean that they are qualified to give you the best results.

Education and experience

Beautiful, long-lasting cosmetic dentistry starts out by addressing the foundation of your smile. This means considering your bite and correcting any underlying problems. Precision and a thorough knowledge of the latest techniques, technology, and materials are all necessary to bring you the best in cosmetic dentistry.

Dr. Green attended NYU and has special training in Cosmetic Dentistry, Neuromuscular Dentistry, and Prosthodontics. He is also certified in Implant Dentistry. This means that he understands all of the workings of your teeth Implant Dentistry and mouth and can give you complete solutions without referring you to a specialist for portions of your treatment.

Putting the patient first

There are two attitudes you want to watch out for when choosing a cosmetic dentist. First is the “dental mill.” You want to avoid a dental practice that churns patients through as if they were on an assembly line. Your cosmetic dentist should give you personal attention, listen to all of your concerns, and answer all of your questions.

Second is the “ego-dentist.” Even a cosmetic dentist who does superior work can be useless to you if he is focused on the work he wants to do “to you” rather than fulfilling your personal wishes and goals.

Dr. Green focuses on providing the solutions you want. He works with his patients to create the results that they want, not the work he thinks they should have.

Before and after images

A reputable cosmetic dentist is proud of his work and wants you to see the results. Always ask to see before and after images of real patients who have had the procedures you are seeking.

Dr. Green makes before and after cosmetic dentistry patient images available to you so that you can see the quality of his work and so that you know what kind of results are truly possible from the procedures you choose.
