Porcelain veneers have been implemented into dental procedures for years and can be fabricated using different techniques. All require an impression of the prepared tooth & the opposing arch, preparation of casts, and lengthy laboratory time. However, due to technological advances in dentistry, a dental restoration can be placed in just one single visit. The purpose of CAD/CAM technology is to design restorations within the dental office in a timely, more predictable manner. Not only are the results more predictable, the fatigue resistance and tensile strength of CAD/CAM materials have been shown to be quite excellent.

Computer assisted design and computer assisted milling (CAD/CAM) technology has been shown to be a sufficient dental treatment in patients’ cases. To read the full article “Single Visit Fabrication of a Porcelain Laminate”, click here.

On November 21, 2003, Dean Michael Alfano officially dedicated a wing of New York University Dental College (NYUDC) as the Dr. Larry Rosenthal Institute for Aesthetic Dentistry. Named in honor of its principal benefactor, the Rosenthal Institute is wholly dedicated to fostering continuing education, research, and patient care in current and emerging techniques in aesthetic dentistry. The institute also houses NYUDC’s continuing education program, which annually attracts more than 4,000 dentists from more than 20 countries, making it perhaps the most far-reaching program of its kind in the world.

Dr. Rosenthal’s vision and generosity have helped to create a cadre of aesthetic dentists who can make aesthetic dental services more broadly available to the general public. It is the nation’s first comprehensive program in an academic dental center to train dentists in the burgeoning field of aesthetic dentistry.

Rosenthal Institute’s 8,500 square foot learning facility features an elegant marble and mahogany décor. It is equipped with 15 state-of-the-art treatment rooms that are equipped with state-of-the-art ambidextrous capable KaVo dental chairs, a 52-seat amphitheater with laptop connection, a surround sound system, and global video conferencing reach. It also has a corporate-style boardroom with remote broadcast capabilities, and a large laboratory with a demonstration area with overhead state-of-the-art TV display.

In addition, the Rosenthal Institute has an operatory under glass outfitted with multiple cameras to permit live interactive clinical demonstrations that can be broadcast around the world, providing a coordinated approach to the study of aesthetic dentistry where students will develop skills in current and emerging techniques.

Everyone wants a great smile. With daily dental hygiene and regular dental visits, you will generally have a good chance of maintaining a bright healthy smile. But what happens when life happens, and it affects your smile? For most of us, it can be a big deal. You may have a tooth or teeth damaged, or even worse knocked completely out. Now it’s time to make a dental appointment to have a look and to make sure no further damage is happening in your mouth. Depending on your case, everything can be rectified within a few procedures. Luckily when a tooth is lost, there are a few options available in order to repair the damage. Your dental professional will come up with a dental plan that will be sure to renew your smile.

Porcelain laminate veneers can be fabricated using different techniques. All require an impression of the prepared tooth & the opposing arch, preparation of casts, and lengthy laboratory time.

The Rehabilitation of a Smile

A 52-year-old male with a laundry list of dental issues visited one of our senior clinicians here at Aesthetic Advantage, Dr. Larry Rosenthal, in hopes of restoring his smile and bite. After a series of tests, ranging from full-mouth visible x-rays to aesthetic/functional wax-up, it was found that he had the following issues:

Severe tooth wear
Loss of vertical dimension
Lack of incisal guidance
Premature contacts in lateral excursion
UR bridge with pontic
Discrepancy in gingival heights
Canines in lateral position congenitally missing laterals

Follow Dr. Rosenthal as he transforms his patient’s smile from ceramic crown fabrication to post-op cementation visit. With “a new lease on life”, the patient feels “20 years younger and just loves his smile”. And what is known as The Simple Makeover all happened in less than two weeks.

Steps in Creating a Beautiful Smile | Aesthetic Advantage

August 7, 2015Aesthetic Dentistry EducationAesthetic Advantage, Cosmetic Dentistry, restorative dental educationAesthetic Advantage

Creating beautiful smiles that complements each individual patient’s facial features is no easy task, but by utilizing a technique that uses facial landmarks to dictate where each tooth should be positioned it can be done. Not only can this technique enhance an individual’s features, it can also allow for a more conservative reconstruction.

By following simple principles concerning the special arrangement of the patients face, clinicians can provide a more natural smile. Some patient’s may be resistant to the technique till it’s explained to them fully. When this technique is done properly it provides natural results that creates a smile that looks like the one the patient was born with.
