What difference does a beautiful smile make? You tell me…do you think a person feels different with new smile? The difference a beautiful smile makes is nothing short of life changing. I came from the Cosmetic Center of the World, Los Angeles, and have the pleasure to serve Louisville as a Cosmetic Dentist now. I believe everyone deserves to have […]

Today I saw a new patient, let’s call him Tom to protect his identity.  Tom has been seeing a dentist routinely for the past several years.  Nobody had pointed out any problems to him.  Tom was getting “regular” cleanings, which his insurance covered.  Now, after a thorough new patient exam, it is very clear that Tom has significant gum disease, […]

You have an accident and get a facial laceration – a big cut across your cheek.  Where do you go to get that fixed?  A General Surgeon?  No, a Plastic Surgeon. You have a bad case of acne, nothing seems to make it better.  You want the best and right treatment. Where do you go? Your regular MD? No, a Dermatologist. […]

Over the last 10 years I have been researching natural alternatives in Dentistry, continuously seeking the healthiest form of treatment for my patients.  Just repairing the problems that I encountered with my patients teeth seemed futile.  It is not enough to just “fix what broke.”  WHY did it break in the first place?  WHY are your gums bleeding?

Dentistry is a wonderful profession – we get to meet so many incredible people and make a truly positive difference in their lives. The patient above is a great example of this…I was able to help her out with some conservative cosmetic dentistry that rebuilt her smile (with Componeers) and her confidence. The difference it made in her life (especially […]

Who does not want WHITER teeth?  This is my personal before and after photo – I tested the new in-office ZOOM laser whitening procedure to make sure it does not create too much sensitivity and gets the results we expect at Ideal Dentistry. I began the procedure after all patients had left and it took just about 1 hour. Here […]

At Ideal Dentistry we want to be your partner for life, reducing your future need for dentistry by providing top quality GUARANTEED dentistry. Poor dentistry does not only […]

Porcelain veneers, the best way to get the smile of your dreams, now available without sacrificing tooth structure! Here is a recent smile I had the privilege of creating. This young lady has everything going for herself and now she has a smile that compliments her outgoing persona. The beauty of such a veneer case is that her own tooth […]

Beautiful Composite Veneers can change your life…immediately. I love creating smiles, it is my passion. To think that so many people smile with their lips closed, hold a hand over their smile or turn their head to hide their smile is just terribly sad…you need to express yourself and a smile is the ultimate form of expression. If you don’t […]

The Smartview Matrix System I have been testing (these are prototypes) offers another unique advantage – It can be used as a rubber dam clamp at the same time, eliminating a large, clumsy piece of equipment that used to be essential when using a rubber dam (which makes composite filling placement significantly easier). Using a rubber dam during the placement […]
