The 60 Second Smile Preview & LifeLike Veneers™:
Radio personality Trapper Jack from the NEW102 visits Dr Harvey Silverman of the Silverman Institute of Cosmetic Dentistry
A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting with Trapper Jack of the NEW102 radio station in Cleveland, Ohio. Trapper had one tooth that was “pushed back” and he wanted that brought into alignment with his other teeth. He heard about how LifeLike Veneers™ might fix that problem in one visit without shots or drilling, so he was curious to know if he was a candidate for this “cool” technology, as he described it.
Fortunately for Trapper he was able to find out if he would like the transformation before deciding to have any work done. How was that possible? Well it was not by doing computer imaging, which is a helpful tool in other invasive dental or plastic surgery scenarios. However when performing a smile transformation procedure, computer imaging is not necessarily the ideal tool. Why? Because computer imaging can only share with the dentist and the patient what might be possible under the best set of circumstances that a computer can simulate. The downside is that it does not create a real veneer on the tooth that the patient can look at, touch, feel and decide if he or she likes the transformation prior to deciding to have any work done.
The solution to this dilemma: The 60 Second Smile Preview. When Trapper came into the office I was able to create a real veneer in only 60 seconds on his tooth. That is pretty incredible when you think about it. Now Trapper could experience how comfortable, easy and natural looking (not looking like he had his teeth “fixed”) the veneer would look thanks to recent advances in dental technology. He also could experience first hand if I had a gentle touch and the artistic skill set that would match his expectations. Since the 60 Second Smile Preview creates a veneer that is not bonded or cemented to the tooth, he was even able to have two sixty second smile preview veneers made so we could chose between two different shades (one slightly lighter than the other) and decide which best suited him.
For many years I always wanted a tool that would share with my patients exactly how their final cosmetic dentistry transformation would appear before we began work. I wanted to eliminate the “guesswork” element when doing cosmetic dentistry and help enhance patient satisfaction prior to beginning any work. That’s what the 60 Second Smile Preview allows me to do. Best of all, my patient’s no longer have any angst about the outcome of their case once they experience the 60 Second Smile Preview. They know that the LifeLike Veneers™ that will be created for them will look just like the veneers created during the 60 Second Smile Preview. What a great system!
Ask any dentist what is one of the most challenging cases to take on when it comes to cosmetic dentistry - and they will almost certainly say that it is trying to match the size, shape and color of a single veneer to the adjacent teeth. However, with the LifeLike Veneer™ system doing a single veneer is actually one of the easiest cases a well-trained dentist in this technology can offer to his or her patient. By doing a single veneer and combining it with in-office whitening, we now have a system that will make creating a “smile makeover” available and affordable to more people than ever before.
LifeLike Veneers™ are also non-invasive or minimally invasive. Think “no shots, no drilling” when you hear these terms. Not everyone is a candidate for this technology, but thanks again to advances in the material science and simplified application skills, more people are candidates for LifeLike Veneers™ today than ever before.
If you ever thought about having one or two imperfections in your smile corrected, then look into the LifeLike Veneer™ system. Determining if you are a candidate may be as easy as having a 60 Second Smile Preview. As Trapper Jack has shared:
"Do like I did. Changing one tooth can change your smile. Have a 60 Second Smile Preview and see if you are a candidate for a LifeLike Veneer™ too. Dr Silverman’s pioneering work in veneers and tooth whitening is known around the country, but he is one of Cleveland's Best Kept Secrets. It's time we let Cleveland know how you can give them a Hollywood Smile in one visit... without shots or drilling....and without the Hollywood price."
Here are some pictures of Trapper Jack’s visit to our office.
