LAS VEGAS, NV, March 29, 2012 (Press-News.org) Many people have some aspect of their smile they would like to improve. With cosmetic dentistry, you can achieve a beautiful, healthy smile you can share confidently. If you have a tendency to hide your smile from other people, you should consult a cosmetic dentist about possible smile improvements. Your smile should let you express your innermost feelings and emotions, and cosmetic dentistry may be a good way for you to create a smile that truly feels like your own.

Common Cosmetic Dental Problems

Some of the most common cosmetic dentistry issues include:

- Crooked teeth
- Chipped, cracked or worn teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Yellow, stained teeth
- Gummy smile
- Missing teeth
- Old metal restorations

Some of these issues are not only cosmetic, but functional as well. For example, you may be dissatisfied with the appearance of missing teeth in your smile. Missing teeth can also make it difficult to chew and speak. The absence of teeth can also cause the bone beneath your teeth to deteriorate.

Cosmetic Dentistry Treatments

Cosmetic dentists can treat dental problems and improve smiles with a variety of treatments and innovations, including:

- Invisalign . As a virtually invisible orthodontics system, Invisalign lets you straighten your teeth and align the bite using clear, plastic aligners.

- Porcelain veneers. Thin shells of natural porcelain are fitted over the front surface of a tooth to conceal tooth flaws. Porcelain veneers are used to conceal stains, crookedness, chips, uneven length and many other cosmetic issues.

- Teeth whitening. Just about everyone who receives teeth whitening sees a difference in the brightness of their teeth. You can receive a professional teeth whitening at your dentist's office, or your dentist may provide take-home kits so you can whiten your teeth with comfort and convenience.

- Dental implants. If you are missing teeth, dental implants are a durable, permanent, natural-looking solution. Dental implants are secured to your jaw, so a stable chewing and speaking foundation is created.

- Tooth-colored restorations. If you have metal tooth crowns or fillings, you may want to consider having them replaced with tooth-colored restorations. Tooth-colored fillings and dental crowns are matched to the color of your natural teeth, so they do not detract from your smile.

There are many cosmetic dentistry procedures, and an experienced cosmetic dentist can determine the right way for you to achieve a healthy, beautiful, and functional smile.

Types of Product Liability

Writing the book of cancer knowledge

2012-03-29

The goal of cancer treatment is to match the right drug to the right target in the right patient. But before such "personalized" drugs can be developed, more knowledge is needed about specific genomic alterations in cancers and their sensitivity to potential therapeutic agents. Now an academic-industry collaboration is releasing the first results from a new and freely available resource that marries deeply detailed cancer genome data with predictors of drug response, information that could lead to refinements in cancer clinical trials and future treatments. The Cancer ...

No improvement in patient outcomes seen in hospitals with pay-for-performance programs

2012-03-29

Boston, MA – Paying hospitals to improve their quality of care, known as pay-for-performance, has gained wide acceptance in the U.S. and Medicare has spent tens of millions of dollars on bonuses and rewards for hospitals to improve. However, little is known about whether pay-for-performance actually improves patient outcomes over the long term. A new study from Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) finds no evidence that the largest hospital-based P4P program in the U.S. improved 30-day mortality rates, a measure of whether patients survive their hospitalization. Given ...
