(HealthNewsDigest.com) - Face Lift Dentistry ® is a unique, patient-centered, restorative, and bite-reconstructive treatment that requires only dental restorations. No stitches, no cosmetic injectables, and minimal to zero grinding down of the patient’s natural teeth. The procedure can be completed in two office visits. This super specialty procedure is highly concentrated, utilizing and coordinating the most advanced dental technologies available to achieve the ultimate level of individualized dental care while also achieving noticeably enhanced facial rejuvenation.

In the 1980’s Sam Muslin, DDS, MAGD, a practicing Santa Monica dentist, was testing a then a relatively unknown cosmetic dental product called ‘veneers’ to enhance the smile of a select group of patients. Dr. Muslin’s meticulously rebuilding of teeth to achieve a more aesthetically pleasing smile led him to perfect his medical art to what is today his Face Lift Dentistry ® procedure. His specific applications produced distinguished, improved facial dimension, transforming receding chins, sunken jaws, and thinning lips into stronger chins, sculpted jaws, and fuller lips. He was creating gorgeous smiles and turning back the clock on otherwise sagging, aging faces.

“Face Lift Dentistry® achieves the absolute best jaw position and comfort, tooth angle, dental health level, clear speech, ideal facial support and optimal facial length possible. A weak chin appears stronger, a short, round face is elongated, a collapsed bite is restored, and a remarkably improved facial profile results,” reports Dr. Muslin. “The Dental Face Lift® plumps the appearance of thinning lips, adds volume to sunken cheeks, elongates an otherwise weak jaw and chin, and makes taut that ugly, loose turkey neck. The technique naturally enhances the patient's unique soft facial tissue with restructure of the hard tissue: the teeth. In other words, it’s much more than a ‘dental smile makeover.”

A careful, three-dimensional analysis of the patient’s entire face geometry begins the initial procedure. A customized course is determined to reconstruct the patient’s bite as well as to enhance the patient’s entire facial structure. No surgery is required on the face or any soft tissues. Only the teeth are treated.

The procedure restructures the face, the bite, the health of the entire body by maximizing the potential of the teeth to support overall facial structure, lips and cheeks. It removes years off the facial appearance, vertically lengthening the face, actually smoothing out wrinkles, giving a naturally thicker appearance to the lips. Not only is the smile vastly improved, but the entire face is transformed to a far more aesthetically pleasing and youthful appearance by reconstruction the teeth. The teeth are lengthened to achieve a longer face and this lengthening process is harmonized with the specific requirements of the patient’s jaw-joint or TMJ. According to Dr. Muslin, in most instances, the jaw-joint will move itself to the best position naturally if given the opportunity during the course of dental care.

“Wearing down of the teeth because of bruxism (grinding) is a normal process of aging. The gradual loss of vertical dimension in a patient's face is an added result of getting older; in other words, our faces get shorter as we age because of tooth wear,” explains Dr. Muslin. “Over time, the bite is flattened and depressed facial structure follows. A face looks older due greatly to loss of tooth support and flattening of the bite. Face Lift Dentistry® is the only procedure that actually lengthens the face permanently and creates a lasting, vertically enhanced, youthful looking face.”

Patients aren’t just aging baby boomers. A 30-year-old patient can actually have a 50-year-old looking face due to a deep over-bite and years of grinding. Short, dark yellow teeth from smoking, partying, poor eating habits, or childhood antibiotics combined with old fillings and crowns that don’t match can make a thirty-something look, well, old. Many of his patients also experience enormous relief from migraine headaches due to teeth misalignment and grinding.

Mismatched crowns and fillings are replaced; the patient is made healthier as decay is removed and the bite rebuilt. Conflicting metals and decaying tooth structures are replaced with biologically compatible porcelain materials.

Worn down cusps are rebuilt and restored for better chewing, adding subtle, three-dimensional vertical facial height, creating astonishing youthful restoration of the patient’s entire facial appearance. No surgery, no stitches, and most patients go back to work the very next day.

Dr. Sam Muslin is a Master of the Academy of General Dentistry and has been awarded by the International College of Dentists. He has been practicing cosmetic dentistry in Santa Monica for 30 years. Dental Face Lift and Face Lift Dentistry are registered trademarks of Dr. Sam Muslin.
