Thanks to technical advances and consumer demand, cosmetic dentistry has come a long way. “It’s extraordinary what cosmetic dentists can do these days,” said Dr. Lorin Berland of the Dallas Dental Spa. “Early cosmetic dentistry consisted of unnatural porcelain crowns with metal rings around the gum, ‘tin-can’ braces, and in the extreme, removing ugly teeth and replacing them with dentures.” Now there are better whitening techniques, implants, veneers, porcelain crowns, clear braces and more. The demand for skilled cosmetic dental professionals is growing constantly – and not just for dentists, but also for their vital assistants and laboratory technicians. “Cosmetic dentistry has really become the standard for dentists who would consider themselves true artisans in their trade, and have the case photos to prove it,” said marketing professional Zach Hoffman of Fort Lauderdale, Fla. In March 2007, he helped launch the American Cosmetic Dental Association with his father, Dr. Howard J. Hoffman, a general and cosmetic dentist.
