Cosmetic Dentistry - What is it?
If you have seen the show Extreme Makeover or even heard about it - you have probably realized that something called Cosmetic Dentistry (or Aesthetic Dentistry) has the power to change people's lives. The reality though, is that the term can be confusing because it is not just one simple procedure - it is a process by which a skilled, artistically and technically trained dentist creates a Smile Design that is uniquely crafted to fit each person's individual features and smile. Dentists are not trained on Smile Design in dental school - it takes years of continuing education and experience to be able to understand how size, shape, color and symmetry all work together to create the perfect smile for each individual - no two are ever alike! It can be as simple as a little contouring or as extensive as a full mouth reconstruction using veneers, crowns and bridges. It is vitally important to the look and the function of the smile that the dentist know when to use veneers, crowns, bridges and even implants to ensure that the Smile Design is a perfect fit, functional and beautiful.
Dr. Sayeg has taken over 1800 hours of continuing education and has studied with the leading Cosmetic Dentists in the country including Dr. Bill Dorfman, the Extreme Makeover dentist. You can be assured that he understands the mechanics as well as the artistry and craftsmanship needed to evaluate and create the perfect Smile Design for you. Below is a list of most of the procedures Dr. Sayeg uses to create each perfect smile.

What Jim Had to Say About Dr. Sayeg:
"Whereas other dentists simply tried to fill spaces, Dr. Sayeg created a new smile where every tooth was considered. He was the only dentist to suggest creating veneers for the damaged teeth as well as replacing the partial teeth at the same time, which has also noticeably improved my bite and my speech. My smile looks better now than it did before the accident, and even people who are unaware that i had cosmetic restoration have commented on how nice my teeth are. Now people seem to really notice my smile, and I feel that is a direct reflection of my renewed sense of confidence. My experience with Dr. Sayeg has far exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend him to anyone."

If one or more of your teeth are missing, we may recommend a Bridge restoration. A Bridge is a fixed restoration, unlike a partial that is removable. The two teeth on either side of the missing space (or spaces) are anchors for the prosthetic tooth replacements. These are beautiful and functional all-porcelain crowns that use no wires or metals.

Losing a tooth or several teeth can be devastating and it used to be that dentistry had to replace the missing tooth with a false or denture tooth and bridges. With today's new technology, a surgical implant can actually be fused to your existing bone to create an anchor for a permanent tooth that is never removed.
