Los Angeles dentist, Dr. Sam Muslin, DDS, MAGD, has been awarded LA's Best Award (tm) 2009 for his leading edge, high quality dentistry. Dr. Muslin has long been recognized for his pioneering work in cosmetic dentistry and bite reconstruction and has recently trademarked Face Lift Dentistry, a breakthrough procedure that combines the ultimate in dental technologies to achieve a level of care that is beyond cosmetic dentistry.
Each year, LA's Best Award scores and ranks professionals in Los Angeles County. The scores are based on undercover investigations, internet research and customer service ratings by a select group of Harvard University graduates. In an area where every dentist claims to be a "dentist for the stars" or a "celebrity dentist", it's not easy to sort out who should receive a top award. Dr. Muslin's advanced dentistry work ranked the highest in Los Angeles, and one of the primary criteria for choosing LA's Best Cosmetic Dentist was the before and after photos of Dr. Muslin's work shown on his websites.
"This put him above all other contending dentists," said the Harvard team, "Dr. Muslin is the only dentist who backs up his credentials and reputation with before and after photos of the patient's entire face and close-up images of their teeth that show the outstanding quality and natural looking dentistry."
Choosing the Best Dentist
Many dentists claim to be the best, but not all can back up their claims. The ultimate proof is the result of the dentist's work and Dr. Muslin's comprehensive photo galleries of patients, all of whom have been treated for a wide variety of complex dental issues, clearly demonstrates his skill level. All of his website photos and videos, untouched and unaltered, are of patients treated by Dr. Muslin. For each patient, the details of their treatment are listed. Patients age differently and have different facial characteristics, and providing optimum treatment for each individual requires a high level of creative innovation and many years of experience. The photo galleries on Dr. Muslin's websites, as well as his years of experience, his credentials, his credibility, and his reputation among his peers all provided strong support for choosing him as the Best Cosmetic Dentist in Los Angeles.
Though Dr. Muslin's office features the most advanced technology and the highest level of dental care available, he emphasizes that dentistry is, above all, about technique. Having practiced complex dentistry for 30 years, Dr. Muslin has the necessary skills and experience to treat extensive dentistry, such as bite reconstruction and Face Lift Dentistry, as well as the artistic skills for cosmetic procedures such as custom porcelain veneers, dental implants and dental crowns.
Master Dentist Award by the Academy of General Dentistry
Dr. Muslin's extensive experience in complex and cosmetic dentistry culminated in his trademarked technique, Face Lift Dentistry, which combines the ultimate in dental technologies and ensures the complete health and optimal appearance of the mouth and face. To achieve the "Master" level, Dr. Muslin has dedicated himself to continuing education in every area of dentistry. He has had to pass examinations and take courses that required hands-on training in every phase of dentistry.
What Makes Face Lift Dentistry Better?
Dr. Muslin, trademark owner of Face Lift Dentistry, points out that cosmetic dentistry, or cosmetic surgery, often does not achieve the desired results due to unaddressed dental issues: "Unfortunately, cosmetic dentistry is usually superficial and does not treat the health of the patient or improve the entire face," he says. "We see where many cosmetic dentists have treated the smile but not facial collapse or a bad bite. While porcelain veneers and crowns make for a more attractive smile, we frequently see patients where the crowns have not been proportioned, the bite has not been raised, and/or the TMJ (jaw) is not balanced." Face Lift Dentistry revitalizes the entire face, not just the smile.
When there are neglected dental issues such as a bad bite, cosmetic dentistry and surgical face lifts, can't produce optimal results for the patient. "Face Lift Dentistry, which is non-surgical, goes beyond the merely cosmetic approach to completely treat both health and facial appearance. Patients can look ten years younger just from work on the teeth that lengthens and supports the face," says Dr. Muslin.
Face Lift Dentistry is, by design, a fully individualized approach to the best possible care for each and every patient. The dentist must have advanced technology, cosmetic and artistic skills that go far beyond average dentistry to treat the complex, individualized needs of the patient.
Face Lift Dentistry and the Aging Face
Face Lift Dentistry is a level of care that exceeds all previous dental care by incorporating the best of various dental technologies and achieving the most complex level of dental care. Face Lift Dentistry restores the teeth to permanently support the aging face. The treatment can be completely non-invasive, so the teeth do not have to be damaged in any way.
Face Lift Dentistry treats the face, the bite and the health of the entire body by maximizing the potential of the patient's teeth to support the face, lips and cheeks. Once a patient's bite is restored and lifted, the facial appearance becomes naturally smoothed out, small wrinkles are reduced, and lips are fuller. As the ultimate level of bite reconstruction, the patient can have natural looking teeth free of decay, much less sensitive, and with a brand new, smooth surface. The patient also looks "naturally" younger, with a longer face that has support for the aging soft tissue. The teeth are one of the big differences between a young face and an aging face. By optimizing the teeth, the face looks younger and completely natural and is better supported.
Face Lift Dentistry and Facial Collapse
Facial collapse is often seen in aging patients that have worn down their bite and can also occur with younger patients that have a deep over-bite. Face Lift Dentistry is the only procedure that will physically lengthen the face by working only on the teeth. The goals of Face Lift Dentistry are to achieve a balanced face with the best jaw position, ideal support of the face, optimal facial length, clear speech, and the best dental health level. The teeth can lengthen the face and add support to the cheeks and lips, while improving the facial profile and allowing the jaw to move naturally to the best possible position.
The younger looking faces show more upper teeth when the patient is speaking, while patients with worn teeth have facial collapse and show lower teeth when they are speaking. Face Lift Dentistry changes the entire face to look healthy and natural by working on the teeth to reverse years of facial collapse.
