Choosing the Right Cosmetic Dentist

Cosmetic dentistry is typically not taught in dental schools. That means that to become proficient at performing cosmetic dentistry procedures, a dentist must obtain post-graduate training, both theoretical and hands-on.

Therefore, before you choose a cosmetic dentist, make sure that they are properly trained and qualified. Both Dr. Bryson and Dr. Margio have received training at the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies, the premiere school for cosmetic dentistry training.

If you are in the stage of scheduling consultations with a number of cosmetic dentists who could potentially be your choice, write up a list of questions to take with you. Make brief notes on the answers you receive. If the answers are not clear, ask more questions until you understand. You would want to choose a cosmetic dentist who communicates clearly and who is happy to take time with you.

If you are offered an office tour, think about how you would feel if you were coming to this office regularly. Would you feel welcomed? Safe? Relaxed? Also notice how the dental staff works together. Do they seem well-organized? Busy but not over-stressed? Friendly with each other?

Although patient education is a high priority for the best cosmetic dentists and they will take time for it, you can educate yourself to some extent by reading web pages about the procedures you are interested in. You can also read the biography or credential pages of each cosmetic dentist you are considering.

When you finally make your choice, place your confidence in that dentist and follow his or her advice and instructions. That is especially important when you have had a procedure such as a porcelain crown or dental implant and must follow directions during the brief recovery periods.

If you would like to schedule a personal consultation with Dr. Bryson or Dr. Margio, please call or email our cosmetic dentistry office today. We serve the areas of Las Vegas, Summerlin, and Henderson in Nevada and we hope to meet with you soon.

 

General Dentistry

In all the media flurry about cosmetic dentistry and smile makeovers, the value of good general dentistry gets a little lost. But without a healthy mouth, a beautiful smile is not possible. If you have any gum disease or tooth decay, that must all be corrected before your smile can be made more attractive.
So although general dentistry may not have the glamour of cosmetic dentistry, it is essential, and we offer a full array of basic procedures to establish good dental health for your lifetime. Of course, you need to do your part too, with effective brushing and flossing. But part of our job as general dentists, as well as cosmetic dentists, is to show you how to effectively brush and floss, so that when you come for your regular check-ups, our hygienist does not have much to do.
General Dentistry Procedures
Dental fillings – we offer white fillings for your smile’s beauty and your long-term dental health. You can choose from white dental composite or porcelain and we will explain the differences.
Porcelain Crowns – porcelain crowns are as effective as gold crowns and more attractive.
Gum treatments – we use our laser for removing bacteria and decay from the gums, as well as for improving a “gummy” smile.
Breath treatment – if you have chronic halitosis, we can diagnose and treat any dental cause and refer you if the cause is medical.
Dentures – missing teeth need to be replaced as soon as possible to maintain the alignment of the remaining teeth. We also offer dental implants for a permanent replacement of one or more teeth.
Root canals – sometimes a tooth’s root is damaged by bacteria and must be cleaned out and filled with a dental cement. That will make any extraction unnecessary.
Snoring treatment – a snoring habit can be annoying but it can also rob you of sleep and damage the throat.
If you would like to schedule a personal consultation with Dr. Bryson or Dr. Margio, please contact our general dentistry office today.

General Dentistry Helping You And Your Family

General dentistry has changed out of sight in recent years, thanks partly to computers and lasers. We offer the best and latest in general dentistry procedures, all designed to improve your dental health and maintain it at the highest possible level.
Compared to the general dentistry our grandparents received, modern general dentistry is:
•Comfortable
•Precise
•Virtually painless
•Fast
•Preventive
•Safe
•More pleasing in its results
At Drs. Bryson & Margio, we use digital X-rays instead of the old-style X-rays requiring a lead apron. We do that for several reasons. One is that they expose you and your young ones to about 90 percent less radiation. Another is that there is no delay — they provide immediate images that we can look at with you on the chairside computer monitor.
To virtually eliminate the discomfort of anesthesia delivery, we have invested in the Milestone Scientific STA™ System. It is a computer-controlled and more precise way of giving you a local anesthetic. By regulating the speed at which the novocain is delivered, it drastically reduces discomfort.
Patient Education
Las Vegas Dentist, Dr. Bryson and Las Vegas Dentist, Dr. Margio place a high priority on patient education and are always willing to answer questions. It is important to teach your children good dental habits early so that they can have a lifetime of good dental health.
We will show you the most effective ways of brushing and flossing and help your young children learn them. Gum disease starts quietly but once it takes hold it can be painful and destructive. So prevention is the secret to excellent dental health, and we run our entire practice with prevention in mind.
Please call or email our general dentistry office today for your free consultation. We serve Las Vegas, Summerlin and Henderson, Nevada.
