A time for thanks

Here I am sitting on my computer on Thanksgiving watching the Packers-Lions football game and the commentators made a comment about being thankful and grateful for all that they have and how lucky they are. I paused for a second and thought that I feel the same way and it would be a great time to tell everyone how thankful and lucky I am. I have a wonderful family, an amazing 4 1/2 year old son Aidan and a very supportive and understanding wife Risa who is the love of my life. 4 1/2 years ago I was fortunate enough to purchase the practice of a local dentist who passed away suddenly. Over the past few years I have assembled a great team who I thoroughly enjoy working with every single day of the week. I wake up every morning excited to go to work which is a rarity this day an age. Over the past 4 1/2 years I have met lots of patients who have walked into my office looking for dental care. Whether it was tooth whitening to a root canal to Invisalign treatment I have learned a lot from the patients I have treated. I am very thankful for the opportunity they have given me. Patients come and go unfortunately but the lessons learned will last a lifetime and believe me I learn a lot from my patients. If someone asked me where I thought I would be in 4 1/2 years it certainly would not be anywhere where I have currently positioned my life and my practice. The last few weeks have brought some sad news when we learned that some patients have become ill or worse passed away, a couple of friends from childhood are critically ill and for someone who is 38 like myself you start to look at things a little differently than you did before. I don't know why it takes circumstances like that to make you look at things differently but it does. For everyone involved in my life, my amazing family, wonderful team, great friends, patients past and present thank you for all that you have done and all the you do. I truly believe I am one of the luckiest people alive. I look forward to world ahead of me.

Cosmetically Improving your Smile Improves Your Self Esteem

Did you ever see someone with perfectly straight teeth? You certainly don’t see people like that every day, and you meet even fewer whose teeth are naturally straight. Cosmetically improving your smile can boost your confidence causing you to smile more often and generally improving your self esteem.

Often a smile is the most eye-catching feature of a face. With cosmetic dentistry you no longer have to worry about your teeth or your smile. You now have choices that can help you smile with confidence.

Even the smallest change can make a dramatic difference in your smile and in the way you look and feel about yourself. Talk to the Dr. Leonard Tau at the Pennsylvania Center for Dental Excellence about the options that are best for you:

-Teeth whitening brightens teeth that are discolored or stained..
-Veneers are thin custom-made porcelain shells to cover the front side of your teeth. They are used to treat spaces between teeth, teeth that are chipped or worn, permanently stained, poorly shaped or slightly crooked.
-Braces are no longer just for kids. Orthodontics may be needed if teeth are crooked, crowded or do not meet properly. Invisalign is the new revolutionary straightening method that people can't even see in your mouth!

Philadelphia Dentist Discusses Smile Makeover Options

There are many different kinds of dental problems, and they come in different shapes and sizes. Don’t worry, though. If you’re suffering from multiple dental problems, you can always undergo a smile makeover. A smile makeover will combine multiple Philadelphia cosmetic dentistry and restorative dentistry treatments in order to enhance your smile’s appearance and your overall dental health. Each smile makeover is customized to meet a patient’s needs. Let’s take a look at some of the most common and popular smile makeover treatments that people can undergo.

Teeth Whitening

If your teeth are discolored or stained, one of the best ways to brighten your smile is undergoing a teeth whitening treatment. Professional Philadelphia teeth whitening is much more effective than over-the-counter teeth whitening products and can enhance the whiteness of your smile by up to 10 shades.

Porcelain Veneers

One of the most versatile and sought-after dental treatments overall has got to be porcelain veneers. Porcelain veneers can take care of minor chips and cracks, slight misalignments and unevenness, and stains that are too tough for teeth whitening to handle.

Invisalign®

If you have teeth that are crooked, you may think the only way to fix that problem Is traditional braces. Well, that’s not the case anymore. We may be able to address that dental problem with Invisalign®. Invisalign® involves the use of clear plastic aligners to straighten out a smile.

Dental Crowns

If you have a tooth that is severely cracked or chipped, it’s important that you consider getting dental crowns. A dental crown will cap a damaged tooth, restoring its appearance and protecting the tooth from further harm or damage.

Dental Implants

Missing teeth will affect the way your smile looks and can lead to major dental health issues as well. While removable dental restorations such as dental bridges or dentures can help address some issues, dental implants are a better solution. These are artificial tooth roots that will anchor bridges and dentures in place.

Dr. Tau does not want to cause any unnecessary discomfort to you, and he will go out of his way to ensure it is a pain free experience.

Once you are in our chair then the Dr. Tau will examine you to see if any work will be necessary. If work is necessary then Dr. Tau will discuss your options with you. He will work out a plan of action which you find suitable.
