Judith

Add caption
Judy's before treatment picture reflects the wear that occurs after years of  Judy gritting, grinding, and clenching her teeth.  All of Judy's  teeth were badly worn down, and many teeth were painful.   DRL performed a smile design and re-created a new smile for Judy. 
Judy's smile,   before Dr. L's dental art smile make-over! Note, even though we asked Judy to SMILE BIG, she did not.  Judy was not happy with her smile and practiced--not smiling!


Judy's smile, after Dr.L's dental art creation!   Look, now Judy's  natural new smile follows the form of her new front teeth zirconia crowns! 
Judy loves her new smile!  Form and function go hand in hand with Dr.L's creations. A smile reconstruction needs to be able to bite and chew well too! . Judy's back teeth crowns are also a work of art:  they are designed  and created to  be in harmony  and  follow the movement of her lower jaw. What can be more enjoyable than the joy  a patient has in flashing their new smile, rather than holding it back!  Look at Judy's before smile picture.  She simply did not smile. Look at Judy's after smile!   Wow, what a difference.   Now, we want to help Judy protect her  dental art. We made Judy a  smile guard. Wearing the smile guard will prevent the wearing down of the crowns.  Judy wore her natural teeth down; now, we want to help her prevent the wearing down of her crowns.  We will help Judy maintain her oral health, and help her keep her smile healthy for years to come.  The use of a Hydrofloss and Oro-B  Sonic toothbrush use is recommended,  for great dental health. Helping Judy maintain the health of her dental art is a goal Dr. L. follows, after the completion of every patient's  dental smile art!

Hello! This is a good read. I will be looking forward to visit your page again and for your other posts as well. Thank you for sharing your thoughts about dentist in your area. I am glad to stop by your site and know more about dentist. Keep it up!
All dentists in the U.S must graduate from high school and complete required courses such as general biology, general chemistry, organic chemistry, physics, and statistics/calculus. While most dental schools require at least a bachelors degree, a few schools may consider admitting exceptional students after only 3 years of college. To apply, students must take the DAT or Dental Admissions Test. Admission to dental school is competitive, and is generally determined based on factors such as GPA, DAT scores, recommendation letters, and extracurricular activities. To become a licensed dentist, one must then complete an accredited dental school curriculum and successfully master all clinical competencies and national board exams. Most dental school curriculums require four years of training, however, some states require dentists to complete a post graduate residency program as well. In the U.S., a newly graduated dentist is then awarded the DDS, Doctor of Dental Surgery, degree or the DMD, Doctor of Dental Medicine, degree depending on the dental school attended. Both degrees are the same. A newly graduated dentist can then pursue further specialty residency training ranging from 2 to 6 years. Additionally, dentists participate in continued education where they attend lectures to learn of recent developments, practice new methods, and earn CE hours. There are specific requirements for dentists to attend continued education hours, and dentists who accumulate additional training are better prepared to handle a variety of cases and surprises during treatment. In the UK the training is similar except it is generally a five year undergraduate course leading to a BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery).
To help patients of all ages, at Herzog Family Dental we maintain a mercury and latex free office.
