I consulted with a patient who had Invisilign Orthodontic Movement on her lower teeth but her orthodontist recommended that her upper teeth be treated restoratively with porcelain veneers. The orthodontist told her, "Go talk with Dr. Benjamin." The patient told her long time dentist that she was planning to see me and his response was, "Why do you need veneers and if you do want them, I will do them for you. There is no special training for Cosmetic Dentistry so that I can do the work."
Some history:
1.The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry was founded in 1984 and was started to establish rules of Cosmetic Dentistry. The AACD offers Accreditation in Cosmetic Dentistry.
2.The State University of New York and the University of Minnesota Dental Schools both offered a Certificate of Proficiency in Esthetic Dentistry since 1998.
3. 95% of all Americans feel that you be a happier person and will do better in advancing your career if you have a beautiful smile.
I have been doing Cosmetic Dentistry for almost 30 years and, in fact, Won the AACD Smile Contest twenty years ago.
Only a mediocre clinician would say that you don't need any special training to do Cosmetic dentistry.
What do you think?
