Written by Making sure your dentist knows what looks good on you


Washington, DC—Dentists designing “smile makeovers” are in demand for more than their technical skill in placing crowns, veneers and implants. Today’s sophisticated consumers are aiming for natural-looking teeth. They want a dentist with good taste as well as good hands.

Dentists achieving acclaim for being atrepparttar 114151 forefront of providing wonderful smiles get it when it comes to making people—not just smiles—more beautiful.

“It should look like you were born with those teeth,” says Dr. Daniel J. Deutsch, atrepparttar 114152 Washington Center for Dentistry, in Washington, DC. “Creating a new smile that is right for every patient means that you look atrepparttar 114153 person’s age,repparttar 114154 shape ofrepparttar 114155 face and lips,repparttar 114156 color ofrepparttar 114157 skin, evenrepparttar 114158 body type.” And since everyone’s natural teeth are not perfect, he adds small “features” in his smiles that normally show up in teeth we grow up with. He might place one tooth at a slightly different angle, or on a slightly different plane. He might create a slight overlap here, a brighter shade there—to give a new smile that authentic, lived-in look.

Drug Addiction Treatment Centers: A Fresh Start

Half a decade ago, I started working on a hotline to help addicts and their families find drug addiction treatment centers. Thousands of calls later, I still rememberrepparttar 114151 first time I picked uprepparttar 114152 line. I could hardly make out whatrepparttar 114153 woman onrepparttar 114154 other end was saying to me. Shelly (not her real name) was sobbing. She had just arrived at her father's apartment and had found him passed out cold onrepparttar 114155 couch with a needle still sticking out of his arm. Why she called our line instead of 9-1-1 was a mystery. I called for an ambulance and waited onrepparttar 114156 phone with her until they arrived. She told me how her father had been a construction worker, though his dream was to play guitar in a band. Shelly said her parents split up when she was thirteen because of her dad's drinking. He moved away to live in another state for a couple of years and they began to lose touch. He would sendrepparttar 114157 occasional card or make a call on her birthdayrepparttar 114158 first couple of years, but that eventually ended. After college, Shelly decided to find her dad. It turned out that he had moved back and was living just a couple of miles from where she grew up. Somewhere alongrepparttar 114159 way, he had picked up a heroin habit. Shelly tried to talk him into going to treatment, but he always had an excuse for why he couldn't. Shelly said she visited him weekly, helped him keep his apartment up, bought his groceries and kept after him to quit. She said she they had just talkedrepparttar 114160 night before and that he had, forrepparttar 114161 first time, agreed to try treatment. On my end, I could hearrepparttar 114162 ambulance approaching and then a knock onrepparttar 114163 door. Shelly hung up and I never heard from her again.
