Cosmetic Dentist in Torrance on AACD Statistics and Smile Makeovers
According to a recent study by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD), teeth whitening procedures have increased by 300% in the past five years, porcelain veneers by 250%, and direct bonding by 100%. As these cosmetic dental treatments continue to grow in popularity, Dr. Michael Fulbright, a cosmetic dentist in Torrance, says an increasing number of patients at his practice are beginning to combine procedures through a comprehensive smile makeover. Dr. Fulbright discusses likely reasons for the rapid growth of the smile makeover trend as well as recent AACD statistics and how to choose the right dental practice for a procedure.
At his cosmetic dentistry practice in Torrance, CA, Dr. Michael Fulbright says he has observed a growing number of patients elect combined procedures for a comprehensive smile makeover. Often pairing teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, Invisalign®, and other cosmetic enhancements, Dr. Fulbright says smile makeovers have been on the rise in the past five years as patients continue to desire the aesthetically-focused smiles portrayed by the media and reality makeover TV shows. A recent statistic by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) reports that teeth whitening procedures have increased by 300% in the past five years and porcelain veneers by 250%. Dr. Fulbright says the increase is likely a result of patients becoming aware of the benefits of combining procedures and minimizing the number of visits required to achieve the desired results.
Dr. Fulbright says that cosmetic dental procedures on the whole have risen at his practice from corrective treatments such as clear braces to cosmetic enhancements like teeth whitening. The latest AACD member poll expects further popularity of teeth whitening, as 77% of member dentists predict it to be the top office procedure for 2011. Dr. Fulbright says teeth whitening is already one of the more popular procedures included in a smile makeover at his practice and will only continue to grow as it receives more national recognition.
Regardless of whether patients are seeking a full smile makeover or just a single procedure like teeth whitening, Dr. Fulbright says choosing an experienced and caring dental practice is the most important contributor to achieving the best results. According to Dr. Fulbright, the most important thing to look for when choosing a cosmetic dentist for a smile makeover procedure is whether they are affiliated with the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD). “This demonstrates that the dentist has had the necessary training to perform these procedures and is being held to the highest standards in the field. Also, asking for or looking at before and after photos of similar procedures is a good way to see if the doctor can meet your needs.”

Los Angeles Cosmetic Dentist Offers Invisalign Discounts
Dr. Michael Fulbright, a cosmetic dentist in Manhattan Beach, CA, is announcing a special on the clear bracing system known as Invisalign. On June 2, 2011, patients will receive free evaluations to determine if they are candidates, and then receive significant discounts and a free electric tooth brush if they start the Invisalign® procedure that day.
At his Manhattan Beach cosmetic dentistry practice, Dr. Michael Fulbright is hosting an Invisalign® Day to help his patients improve the form and function of their smiles. Starting June 2, 2011, Dr. Fulbright says patients will receive free Invisalign® evaluations to determine if they are eligible for the clear bracing system. If patients decide to start Invisalign® that day, they will receive significant discounts on the procedure and a free electric toothbrush.
Dr. Fulbright says Invisalign® clear braces are a viable solution for minor orthodontic concerns, such as crookedness, crowding, or gaps. He says he first maps each patient’s smile with advanced computer technology, and then uses a series of removable clear plastic trays to give his patients the smile they desire. Because the process is a gradual readjustment, Dr. Fulbright says the process is eliminates much of the discomfort commonly associated with traditional braces.
Whether Dr. Fulbright is correcting a patient’s smile with Invisalign®, or perfecting their smile with teeth whitening or porcelain veneers, he says he strives to create a natural-looking smile that is harmonious with the individual’s facial features. Ultimately, he says his goal is to create a smile that enhances his patients’ aesthetic appearance, while respecting the natural beauty and unique qualities they already possess.
