Today’s cosmetic dentistry is truly based on “cosmetics” (via media advertising, air brushed or photo shopped images) rather than aesthetics. The color scale has gone from B1 being chicklet white to pushing colors such as OM1 or 2 in just a few short years. Principles such as smile design and golden proportions for teeth and gingiva have become gospel. The result is we as dentists along with other health care professionals such as dermatologists and plastic surgeons create a population that all look the same.

Dr . Michael Apa will discuss how to create a beautiful smile to stand the test of time and show you how to use the landmarks given to you from within the patients own face, that is natural and is specific to your patient not to universal guidelines. Through clinical cases learn how to chose color based upon the patient’s features and how to translate this into the best shade for of your final restorations.

The techniques outlined in this discussion will show you to systematically look at the patient as a whole before ever looking at their teeth in order to create a truly aesthetic smile!

Dr. Michael Apa practices restorative and aesthetic dentistry with Dr. Larry Rosenthal at the Rosenthal Apa Group in New York City. Dr. Apa has written for the Journal of Cosmetic Dentistry and has lectured at the AACD and Aesthetic Advantage.
