Did you know that the shape, shade, length and spacing of your teeth could significantly affect your smile? And our smiles can greatly affect our self-esteem and confidence. Common conditions that impact negatively on your smile include broken, cracked or worn teeth, discolored teeth, missing teeth, crooked teeth, decayed teeth, gaps between your teeth and/or “gummy smiles.” The good news is that with modern technology and improved materials, these situations can be dramatically changed to create natural looking and long-lasting beautiful smiles.
Each patient and each specific circumstance must be evaluated on its own merits. Factors such as occlusion [bite], oral habits, available space, health of the gum tissue, severity of the problem and patient expectation are taken into consideration when planning your cosmetic makeover.
Depending on your individual characteristics, there are a variety of choices that all result in excellent esthetic outcomes. For whiter natural teeth, in-office or at-home bleaching [whitening] techniques are wonderful game changers when it comes to your self-esteem and confidence. Repairing teeth or closing spaces may be accomplished with tooth-colored composite resin bonding, porcelain veneers or porcelain crowns.
If you’re not satisfied with your smile or want to learn if you’re a good candidate for any of these remarkable techniques, call our Atlanta (Sandy Springs) office for a complimentary cosmetic consultation.

Cosmetic dentistry is not an ADA-recognized specialty. In order to be a recognized specialty a discipline must demonstrate 6 requirements, of which in pertinent part,
[t]he specialty must document scientifically, by valid and reliable statistical evidence/studies, that it: (a) actively contributes to new knowledge in the field; (b) actively contributes to professional education; (c) actively contributes to research needs of the profession; and (d) provides oral health services for the public; all of which are currently not being met by general practitioners or dental specialists.[1]
These requirements as they relate to a post-graduate dental degree are fulfilled by the specialty in prosthodontics. So the next time you read about a dentist claiming to be a ‘cosmetic dentist’, you need question by ‘who’s’ authority or recognition does he or she make that claim, because it doesn’t exist[2].
Prosthodontists make up less than 2% of all the dentists in the United States. Dr. Scheinfeld is an Emory University trained prosthodontist and has practiced in metro Atlanta since 1988. Go with a “PRO”.
[2] This has been considered unethical with a predominant objective of marketing to patients. The American Dental Association does not recognize cosmetic dentistry as a formal specialty area of dentistry. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmetic_dentistry
1. Searching the internet is probably the number one method used to verify who your trusted family members, friends and co-workers recommend to you. If you search the internet, look for the number of reviews (20 or 450 reviews) and the timeliness of the reviews (i.e. how current are they).
2. Some suggest you ask your family doctor, but in today’s world a) your doctor can’t be reached and b) he really doesn’t have a clue, so forget that route.
3. Contacting your local or state dental society for a referral will probably be a waste of time, but if you are going to go that route, my associate of 20+ years in the current President of the Georgia Dental Association. Look him up, Dr. Sidney Tourial. Search the Internet or look under “dentists” or “associations” for the dental society nearest you.
4. Call your nearest dental school clinic. Really, that’s about as good as calling your doctor.
5. Consult the American Dental Association’s member directory. I guess, but almost every dentist belongs to the ADA. So how do you distinguish among the 170,000 dentists in the U.S.?
6. Ask your current dentist for a referral if you are moving to a new area. That actually makes sense. Ask him or her if they wouldn’t mind checking out a few names you have narrowed it down to.
What to Look For in a Dentist:
7. How long have they been in business? We’ve been in business since I graduated my prosthodontics residency from Emory University in 1988.
8. Determine how accessible the dentist is: Is his or her office near your home or job? If you work, somewhere between home and near work seem to make the most sense.
9. How hard is it to get the appointment times you need to fit into your work schedule or other members of your family’s schedule?
10. Survey the office to make sure it is clean and well-kept. We offer complimentary (free) consultations, so it doesn’t cost you anything to look at the office and our staff.
11. Look for pleasant, respectful interactions between dentist and staff. Again, we offer free consultations, so it cost you nothing to check us out.
12. Consult with the dentist about your dental history and problems, and decide whether you like the way he or she explains preventive measures and treatments. Realistically, we are going to be on our best behavior, but again realistically, how many group practices have associates for 20+ years who are the President of the GDA? My other associate practiced with us for 14 years until his passing. And my newest associate has practiced for 20 years.
13. Ask about fees, payment and insurance plans. We both want to know about each other. I want to know what your expectations and circumstances are and you want to know whether or not I am delivering a service that you value and trust.
14. Find out whether your dentist provides a way for you to receive emergency, after-hours care. Of course we do. We give out our cell phones.
15. Ask what sorts of continuing education he or she has pursued to keep up with new developments in dentistry. Quite frankly, I am a prosthodontist, and there only 3200 prosthodontist out of 170,000 dentists in the country. It’s a pretty rigorous post graduate program and very few dentists choose to put themselves through the process. I am constantly taking courses and attending study groups to either validate what I am doing or learn new techniques.
If we can be of service or answer any of questions please feel free to contact us. Also, visit our website. It’s long and what some say wordy, but we are attempting to be informative and put in writing as much as one can tolerate on the internet.
It seems like no matter how far we have come in the world of modern dentistry the perception of the dentist has not changed much since the days of the old west where the barber put his foot in your chest and yanked out your tooth. Research by the British Dental Health Foundation suggests that visiting the dentist makes people more nervous than snakes or spiders.[1]The research echoes a March 2011, Adult Dental Health Survey which revealed half of adults – especially women – were classified as having moderate to extreme dental anxiety.[2]
In a survey of 1004 people, the Foundation found what made them most nervous from a list including heights, flying, injections, doctors, snakes, spiders, going to hospital or visiting the dentist was visiting the dentist.[3] Over one in five people ranked visiting their dentist as the thing that made them most nervous – more than any other category.
Overall, statistically:
1. Heights topped the poll of biggest fears
2. Closely followed by visiting the dentist
3. Going to the hospital
4. Snakes were rated fourth
5. Spiders came fifth.
In comparison to physicians, dentists also struggled. The Foundation discovered that nearly 10 times as many people (22 per cent) were made most nervous by their dentist, as compared to their physician (two per cent). The Adult Dental Health Survey points to two dental treatments in particular as the main cause of these nerves: three out of ten (30 per cent) adults said that having a tooth drilled would make them very or extremely anxious. A similar number (28 per cent) of people reported equivalent levels of anxiety about having a local anesthetic injection.
Dr. Nigel Carter, Chief Executive of the British Dental Health Foundation, said: “Everyone in the profession knows that dental anxiety is a major barrier for many people to visit their dentist.” What may prove concerning is just how poorly the dental profession rates in comparison to doctors. The comparison with snakes and spiders may appear frivolous, but it does suggest dentists still have a lot of work to do to build public confidence. Unfortunately, in modern dentistry the gap between reality and perception is the Grand Canyon, because there really is no modern reason to fear your dentist. All of the old procedures are now performed with great comfort and no pain to patient.
Dr. Novy Scheinfeld is a trained prosthodontist with her post-graduate degree from Emory University School of Dentistry. She was recently chosen as one of America’s Top Dentists for 2011 and 2012.
Prosthodontists are dental specialists certified in tooth restorations such as implants, bridges, crowns, dentures and veneers to give you the best smile possible, more important they provide the right smile. They are ADA accredited specialists in esthetic and cosmetic dentistry. After graduating from dental school with a D.D.S. or equivalent degree, prosthodontists receive three additional years of rigorous specialty training in a university or hospital ADA accredited graduate education program.
If you are seeking cosmetic, implant or reconstructive dental work, you should see a prosthodontist, because prosthodontics is the only specialty recognized by the ADA that is involved with esthetic and cosmetic dental restorations and implant restorations. None of the other specialties are taught both the form and the function of restorative dentistry. Patients should understand that terms like ‘Cosmetic Dentist’, ‘Implantologist’ or ‘Implant Specialist’, are not designated specialties recognized by the American Dental Association. While these terms may be very descriptive, they are also terms that attempt to get around ADA designated specialties.
Prosthodontists are experts in the dynamics and esthetics of a smile, the preservation of a healthy mouth and the science of tooth replacement. With the passage of time prosthodontic dentists are gaining popular recognition with respect to their qualifications to offer state-of-the-art procedures and techniques as patients become more familiar with the advances in modern dentistry. Of the 170 thousand dentists in the country less than two (2%) percent are trained prosthodontists. So, when your dentist refers you to a prosthodontist you should know you are in well trained hands.
Many of those referring specialists think of the prosthodontist as the “conductor” of a dental treatment plan, the professional in the process with the big picture in mind. They usually lead a team of specialists to develop ideal solutions to your dental needs because they are responsible for the final restoration. They provide the highest level of dental care being expertly trained in many different clinical disciplines with the anticipation that a working knowledge of various disciplines is necessary to produce optimal results for the patient.
The combination of all these various disciplines rest comfortably within the purview of a prosthodontist’s training and expertise. A comprehensive approach by a prosthodontist as the conductor is the best way to get your inner confidence boosted, your personality improved and the right smile. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact us.
Dr. Scheinfeld received her prosthodontics degree from Emory University School of Dentistry in 1988.
If you have seen the show Extreme Makeover or even heard about it – you have probably come to understand that “Cosmetic Dentistry” (or Aesthetic Dentistry) has the power to change people’s lives. The reality though, is that the term can be confusing because many “cosmetic” dentists are not trained by any program recognized by the American Dental Association (ADA). Prosthodontics is the only discipline of cosmetic dentistry that is recognized by the ADA. And a Prosthodontist is not just trained in one simple discipline – it is a post graduate degree in dentistry where by a skilled, artistically and technically trained dentist creates an anatomically correct smile- the right smile- that is uniquely crafted to fit each person’s individual attributes. Most dentists are not trained prosthodontic graduates of a dental school – rather they take short continuing education courses in conjunction with trial and error experience to be able to understand how size, shape, color and symmetry all work together to create what a prosthodontist is trained in during their post graduate work. It may appear as simple as a little contouring or as extensive as a full mouth reconstruction using veneers, crowns and implants; it’s the training that makes it appear effortless. The prosthodontist is trained to create the smile that implements the use of veneers, crowns, bridges and dental implants to ensure that the right smile is as perfect a fit both functionally and aesthetically as your individual characteristics will allow.
The program is so rigorous, that of the 170 thousand dentists in the United States, less than 2% are trained prosthodontists. Dr. Scheinfeld received her prosthodontics degree from Emory University School of Dentistry in 1988. Her prosthodontics’ instructor Dr. E. Neal Kopp practiced with her for 14 years until his passing in 2008. In addition, Dr. Sidney Tourial, an adjunct Emory Prosthodontic professor and this year’s GDA President has been in the practice for over 20 years.
