Question:
if you know of a great cosmetic dentist in the Los Angeles
area. I am willing to travel. I need extensive work done and am looking for a
real artist.
Answer:
Usually start with the word from a friend. ANY dentist who has
graduated dental school and is capable of holding a handpiece is
capable of esthetic dentistry...or as you call it "cosmetic". Cosmetic
dentistry as such is not a recognized specialty of any kind. Those
claiming to be "cosmetic specialists" usually are more efficient at
handling glue guns than being artisans. Caveat emptor!
society. Ask them to provide you with a listing of the comprehensive
Dentistry specialists in the area. These Dentists are trained in all
aspects of dentistry. Since you say you need extensive work I suggest
you start with these Doctors.
Caveat lector! Not all dentists do the same thing.
Not all dentists are interested in doing the same thing.
I think Eileen should look for someone with a proved
interest (which hopefully includes knowledge and skill)
in esthetic dentistry.
For example, an accredited member of AACD (the
American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry).
Isn't he associated with a lot of New Age stuff like 'Whole
Body Treatments' , and 'Biotherapy' ... seaweed and essential oils
and 'hydrotherapy' or is it Balneotherapy or Aromatherapy ???
Or maybe it is Thalassotherapy with Micronized Seaweed
or Mediterranian Sea Salts ?
