Master of the
Dental Makeover
r. Richard Lestz, a
dentist with over 25
years experience in
ADVERTISEMENT
dental cosmetics, implants
and general dentistry, has a
unique calling card. Above
a caption, which reads
“dento-facial symmetry,”
it shows horizontal and
vertical lines drawn
through a face. What does
this have to do with Dr.
Lestz’s specialty, you may
ask? Plenty.
“These lines are
proportional and
symmetrical,” he explains.
“Faces that we consider to
be beautiful, or ideal, fit
into these lines.When teeth
are crooked or missing
altogether, there is a loss of
bone and other supporting structures,
which may cause the shape of the face to
collapse inward and vertically. By
cosmetically reconstructing the teeth and
their supporting structures, we can achieve
a more esthetic, healthy and youthful
appearance.”
Dr. Lestz, a diplomate
of the International
Congress of Oral
Implantologists and a
member of the
American Academy of
Cosmetic Dentistry, is a
master of the dental
makeover. Dental
Implants or artificial
root replacement, are the
rapidly growing
alternative to bridges
and partial dentures to
replace missing teeth.
Dr. Lestz can quickly
determine if you are a
candidate for the
procedure, and then
employ the latest
implant technology.
Dr. Lestz also
specializes in tooth whitening and
bonding cosmetics such as porcelain
veneers,which cover surfaces of the teeth to
greatly improve your smile. For more
