Let's Talk Facelift Dentistry!

Dental Office Ultra Clean & High Tech

May 1st, 2009

Our patients can rest assured that they are walking into an ultra clean operatory. All of our rooms are private with sliding glass doors. The doors are motion censored for hands free operation in a safe environment. Our rooms are cleaned and prepared with new plastic barriers on anything we may touch. Our sinks are environmentally engineered so that we don’t have to touch faucets with our hands either.

This is the most well appointed office I’ve ever worked in. The attention to detail and patient safety in Dr. Muslin’s office is like no other that I have ever seen.

Customized Dental Lighting Design

by The Face Lift Dentist

April 29th, 2009

The lighting in our office is easy on the eyes as the light "washes down the walls" rather than glares overhead.

This customized lighting design puts patients at ease. They can relax and focus on the overhead television screens while they are in the chair without ceiling lights in their eyes. The office lighting design was completed by Rx for Design Inc. and has made this office unique and one of the finest dental offices in the country.

“My Brother is a Dentist!”

by The Face Lift Dentist

April 29th, 2009

An existing patient recently came in with a broken tooth. She has been a patient with Dr. Muslin longer than I have been assisting him. After working chair side with Dr. Muslin, it was not surprising to hear a patient say how much his dentistry is trusted.

The patient went on to say how confident she is with his work since it is virtually pain free and how his work has such “staying power.” The part of the conversation that surprised me was to learn that both her brother and her sister in-law are dentists. Right here, in southern California.

She said with a smile on her face, “Dr. Muslin is the absolute best dentist. His work lasts and I never have problems with anything he’s ever done. My in-law crowned the tooth that broke and I smelled all the decay that was under it. I’d rather pay Dr. Muslin for his work than go back to my relatives and have the work done for free.”

The Ultimate Dental Testimonial

by The Face Lift Dentist

April 22nd, 2009

One of the greatest compliments to this office is when a patient gives permission to show full-face before and after treatment photos of work completed by Sam Muslin DDS MAGD.

Dr. Muslin feels honored by each patient who grants him permission to show images of his work without financial incentives. Some patients will compliment the work in writing but other patients give the greatest honor of permission to showing their entire face before and after treatment.

The Best Things In Life Aren’t Always Free

by The Face Lift Dentist

April 16th, 2009

One of our patients called yesterday afternoon because her bridge on the upper left felt loose.

We made sure to bring her in the next day, and it was a good thing she came! As Dr. Muslin removed the bridge, (that was completed about 5 years ago by another dentist—her brother) he revealed that there was a considerable amount of decay on the anchoring teeth. Dr. Muslin remade the bridge and an hour and a half later, the patient was done and completely happy.

She made sure to mention to the doctor that having her treatment done here is the ultimate compliment to Dr. Muslin. Both her brother and her sister-in-law are dentists who could do her treatment for free. But, she prefers to pay for the best treatment and she knows that Dr. Muslin can deliver that.

Walking Just a Little Bit Taller

by The Face Lift Dentist

April 15th, 2009

Before Jerome saw Dr. Muslin, he was shy and didn’t like smiling very much.

He had large spaces between his upper teeth. With his new Non-Invasive Porcelain Veneers, he now has a great smile and likes to show it off as much as possible. Enhancing your smile can dramatically increase your self-esteem, just ask Jerome.

Finding the Best Cosmetic Dentist

by The Face Lift Dentist

April 14th, 2009

Cosmetic Dentistry is not a recognized specialty in dentistry– any general dentist who has taken a weekend course in cosmetic treatment can claim to be a cosmetic dentist. Only an experienced dentist who has incorporated cosmetic dentistry in his practice for many years can deliver great quality work. The true measure of the dentist’s skill lies in the “before and after” photos of patients whom he or she has treated. The photos need to be a perfect match to make an honest comparison.

Why you Need a Professional Dental Exam

by The Face Lift Dentist

March 28th, 2009

“How much is a filling?” “How much is an extraction?” These types of questions are very hard to answer over the phone because there are variables that determine the appropriate fee.

For example, how many surfaces of the tooth are involved for the filling? What kind of material is being used? How deep is the decay in the tooth?

We can give ranges for some procedures but a true estimate needs to be done after a comprehensive exam, which usually involves an x-ray of the tooth involved. The x-ray can show the dentist how deep the decay extends, if there is bone loss around the tooth, if there is decay on an adjacent tooth, etc.

Do yourself a favor—get a professional dental exam before any dental treatment is done. Plan your care in the order of importance and find a dentist with “in your mouth” camera technology to show you what your need and why you need it.

Dental Shoppers

by The Face Lift Dentist

March 27th, 2009

Like every dentist, we get calls from dental “shoppers.”

It’s pretty easy to recognize them because their first question is usually:
“How much is a _____?”

This type of question has no regard for quality.

Good dentistry is a skill, a talent, developed over many years. We try to explain that when you’re dealing with dentistry, cost is not the most important issue. Granted, the dentist down the street may charge less for a crown but are you really comparing the same thing? What is the crown made of? Is it bulky-looking? Is your tooth hot and cold sensitive after the crown? Can you chew on the tooth that was crowned? Do you now need a root canal? Is it going to match the color of the surrounding teeth?

There’s no substitute for quality. If you’re looking for quality, this is the right office for you.

The Cost of Quality

by The Face Lift Dentist

March 24th, 2009

Dentistry is one of those things where the ability of the provider is a huge consideration. You can “shop” for a can of soup by comparing prices because, after all, a can of Brand X soup at one store is the same as a can of Brand X at another store. But when you talk about dentistry, “a crown is not a crown.”

We’ve all seen bad dentistry. Let’s face it, some dentists are far more talented than their peers. Some dentists use the best materials. Some dentists have ultra clean and ultra hightech dental offices. Some dentists are Masters of the Academy of General Dentistry and the other 99% are not! Do you want the best? If so, this is the place for you.
