Extra! Extra! Read All About Us in the December Washingtonian Magazine!
Cosmetic Dentistry story highlights our patients!

Check us out in December's Washingtonian magazine to read an interview with our Dr. Peter Rinaldi, and see before-and-after photos of our own happy patients.

"With smile makeovers, I'm looking at the whole unit--all the teeth, not a single tooth," says Dr. Rinaldi, in the expansive 20-page spread that covers cosmetic dentistry from whitening to bonding to Invisalign braces to veneers.

The comprehensive article, "Get a Great Smile," presents Rinaldi's approach to smile design--in his own words: "Eye and skin color, lips, bite, smile, how you talk--it all interrelates," says Dr. Rinaldi. "This is an art form, like good plastic surgery."

Also prominently displayed are before-and-after photos of our patients--proudly showing off their new smiles. "People said, 'Did you have your hair done? You look refreshed,' " says Marti Lazear, who sports eight new veneers to correct teeth that shifted after wearing braces as a young girl. "I think it's from smiling more!" Lazear came to the Washington Center for Dentistry for a consult with Dr. Rinaldi, and had her lustrous Art-Sculpt veneers applied that very day.

You can see how ten new veneers have transformed our patient Kimberly Jordan on page 149. The custom porcelain laminates were designed to lighten her gray, unflattering teeth into a strong, glowing smile of confidence. "When I was a child, people asked, 'Why are your teeth that color? " says Jordan, of the tetracycline dark stains on her teeth. She tried bonding, but that didn't work. Now the veneers "feel natural," she says.

Today's porcelains are engineered to be strong and appear more like actual teeth than ever before. "The porcelains now are very, very good," Dr. Rinaldi says. "They mimic natural tooth structure. They're strong, reflect light, and are color-stable. And these restorative materials allow us to be very conservative in our approach to rebuilding the tooth."

We're so happy that our patients can read about our wonderful results in Washingtonian!

Be well...judi
