Very often in a dental office that emphasizes cosmetics the cart is put before the horse.  In other words, there is a proper order to things in dentistry that should be observed.

There is some variation on the cost of Invisalign and there are a number of variables that enter into the total cost of treatment.  But there are some numbers that can be illuminated in order to help potential patients to determine if Invisalign is the appropriate treatment for them.

There are so many terms, buzz words, that we use in dentistry that it gets confusing. What is a Lumineer?  A Porcelain Veneer? Is a Veneer always porcelain?

I am still in Texas at the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry.  I just read an interesting article in this past Friday's Wall Street Journal by Theodore Dalrymple entitled, "Supersize World."  For me, being in Texas and a healthcare provider, this epidemic needs our attention.  I can write about lots of things in cosmetic dentistry but in today's blog, I feel about writing how our overall health must dovetail with the great smile, great teeth and great gums.
