If you desire cosmetic dentistry, go to a bona fide expert. See Dr. Sam Muslin. He practices cosmetic dentistry in Santa Monica. In addition to being a DDS, he holds the designation of MAGD.

MAGD is a designation of Master of the Academy of General Dentistry. To earn it, a dentist  must take 1100 hours of approved continuing dental education credit. This a serious commitment for serious dentists. Dr. Muslin is such a dentist. To reflect his commitment he has become one of the Los Angeles areas most accomplished cosmetic dentist.

Face Lift Dentistry ®

The variety of dental procedures he has mastered and performs in his practice includes Face Lift Dentistry®. This procedure is very cutting edge. It is for people with multiple dental issues. Dental issues that have begun to impact the dental, emotional and physical health of the individual.

In fact, the procedure not only takes years off the patients face, it is the ultimate in dental health. But perhaps the most significant impact is that it has changed lives by restoring self-confidence. Confidence that enables patients to apply for that promotion, win that acting gig and be able to smile freely again.

The procedure can include dental implants, porcelain veneers, jaw repositioning, gum disease and even braces. In one coordinated, well-planned swoop, the old dental work is removed. In the next step, the new cosmetic dentistry is applied and achieves its dramatic results.

Dr. Muslin calls it the ultimate in dental health care.

Before and After Cosmetic Dentistry Photos

None of the photos you see here and on Dr. Muslin’s site have been altered, nor have the patients been compensated for the pictures. Care was taken to make sure that the lighting for the after shot remained the same as the before one.

What you notice is the incredible harmony, the impressive improvement that has been achieved with the cosmetic dental procedures as performed by Dr. Muslin.

It occurs for two reasons. First, is the skill of the Doctor.  No dentist is going to attain results like this without possessing the skill and art that marks the highest level that can be achieved in the profession.

The second reason is the technology.  All of the diagnostic equipment, software, computers, and tools are the best that exist in the world of dentistry today. And not only does Dr. Muslin have them, he knows how to use them!

Oral Cancer – Not Just Smokers

Posted by: admin | Comments Comments Off
Tuesday, September 28th, 2010

Oral cancer is on the rise and it’s not just for smokers anymore. Dr. Muslin carefully screens every patient for lesions and suspicious areas in the mouth. Oral cancer should be diagnosed early for best prognosis. Oral cancer screenings are thorough and regularly scheduled with every exam.

Dr. Muslin, a cosmetic dentist in Santa Monica,  strives to stay current with the latest in dental advancements and technology. He attends yearly classes, completes online exams and meets all state board requirements for continuing education. He applies this knowledge in the office and uses current techniques for every procedure. These techniques are perfected for the benefit of every patient. Patient care is at the top of the list and education plays a vital role. Dr. Muslin assures his registered dental auxiliary are also current with education requirements. He cares about his patients and places importance on dental education.

Dr. Muslin works to eliminate the “jitterbug blues” at the dental office. Patients are instructed to eat a good meal and abstain from caffeine prior to dental procedures. This elevates blood sugar levels and decreases stress. Anesthetic is delivered to patients at a slower than normal rate (when compared to other dentists I’ve worked with). He takes his time, and therefore reduces the pain in the anesthetic delivery. He uses substantially less anesthetic than other dentists I’ve worked with. He knows where the nerves are and often only uses a half of a carpule for an entire procedure. His technique greatly reduces the impact of the epinephrine, which is known to cause that “jittery feeling” to some patients.

Your tooth structure, facial features and possibly your jaw positioning will change.

In addition to the aging process, oral infections, your oral hygiene, routine eating habits and even food choice will impact your bite and the overall shape of your face.

As you get older you lose normal bite height. You lose tooth structure strength.

This can cause a sinking or drawn in appearance in your upper and lower lips.

This can in turn results in an inability to smile as broadly as you used to. It can impact eating, cause jaw joint discomfort and even pain.

Using minimally invasive techniques, Dr. Muslin has created Face Lift Dentistry. This revolutionary process reconstructs your bite and appearance using a three way approach:

  • Your Dental Health- The doctor will examine any fillings, tooth decay and dental crowns you’ve had over the years. They’ll all be removed and replaced with decay free dentistry that will improve your dental health.

  • Your Bite- The coordination of your bite and jaw joint will be aligned. This will make you chew better and eliminate any jaw discomfort.

  • Your Appearance- In addition to looking better, you’ll feel good and have more self confidence. You total wellness and well being will also be improved. 

You can see the difference Face Lift Dentistry made with one of Dr. Muslin’s satisfied patients in the photos on this page.

Her smile lost its downward cast. The jaw has aligned with her face, and her smile dazzles resulting in a more youthful appearance.
