virtually every field of esthetic dentistry all

very special office might meet simultaneously
with a prosthodontist, a periodontist, an
orthodontist, a restorative dentist, and an
imaging specialist—all members of the
practice to design a highly individualized
treatment plan. |
| Here,
virtually nothing is left to chance, thanks to
high-tech visualizing equipment which not only
helps predict the result, but facilitates
communication among everyone involved. This
common vision of the end result leads to
predictable success, explain the doctors. |

|
|
|
| HERE
YOU WILL FIND A WORLD CLASS TEAM OF
ESTHETIC EXPERTS |
|
| Drs. Ronald
Goldstein and David Garber have assembled a team
whose expertise covers all areas of esthetic
dental practice. Dr. Garber is dual-trained as a
prosthodontist and periodontist. Dr. Maurice
Salama is a highly-acclaimed orthodontist, who
also specializes in periodontics. Dr. Angela
Gribble and Dr. Cathy Goldstein Schwartz,
daughter of Dr. Ronald, are general dentists.
Master ceramist Pinhas Adar works hand-in-hand
with the doctors to create beautiful, enduring
restorations in his on-premises laboratory, the
Oral Design Center. All members of the team are
active in their profession, teaching, writing,
and lecturing throughout the world. |
| Whether
they're treating the chief executive of a Fortune
500 company, a salaried worker on lunch break, or
a patient who has traveled from a foreign country
for treatment, the goal is to make the most of
each office visit by working as a team. |
| The doctors
are supported by a staff of highly trained dental
assistants, hygienists, and technicians, as well
as treatment coordinators and office personnel
who work to make a patient's experience in the
office pleasant and efficient. Depending on a
patient's needs, the staff will arrange for
travel and accommodations. |
| "We
have designed a dental practice that is much more
than the sum of its parts," explains Dr.
Goldstein, whose father Dr. Irving Goldstein
founded the practice more than 60 years ago.
"We learned long ago that creating a
beautiful smile is a complex process that
involves everything from the equipment in the
operatory, to the personnel behind the desk, to
the materials used in the laboratory, and nearly
everything in-between. Our goal is to perfect
that process. Adds Dr. Garber: "In much the
same way Picasso claims to have spent his life
learning to paint like a child, we work to make
this process simple and seamless for the
patient." |

| NOT
JUST ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL OFFICE, BUT A
TESTIMONY TO ESTHETICS IN ACTION |
|
| Recognized
widely as one of the premier dental offices in
the country, the office of Goldstein, Goldstein
& Garber are, themselves, a testimony to
esthetics in action. The music, furnishings and
waiting room ambience contribute to a sense of
relaxed competence. Many patients, who include
everyone from Hollywood's brightest stars to
politicians, celebrities, and the neighbors next
door, claim they actually look forward to their
dental appointments. Explains international
tennis star Ivan Lendl: "Everything about
the office is pure professionalism. I was as
pleased with my 'smile makeover' as I was with
the experience of visiting the office." |
| Although the
first thing a patient sees upon entering is a
smiling receptionist and never a computer
terminal, the GG&S facilities are fully
computerized. A 40-unit integrated computer
network is unique in the industry. |
|
| Dr. Goldstein used
painless air-abrasive technology
on actress Stacy Galina, who was
pleased with the result and
amazed at how simple the process
was. She recalls the doctor
asking her if she was doing all
right. "Yes," she
answered, "I was almost
dozing!" |

|
| VISUALIZING
THE IDEAL SMILE: SEE THE RESULTS BEFORE
TREATMENT IS BEGUN |
|
| In the
treatment area, form and function are in perfect
harmony. State-of-the-art equipment includes
computer imaging technology which permits the
patient to serve as "co-diagnostician,"
working with the doctor to design the ideal
smile. It is an end-result which considers not
only the teeth, but hair and skin tones, facial
structure, and the arrangement of features on the
face. A "drill-less" system to remove
decay (known as air-abrasive technology) uses a
high-powered, painless stream of air to propel
tiny amounts of a fine alpha alumina powder
against the tooth. Dr. Goldstein likens it to
"an extremely precise miniature sandblaster
which gently sprays away stains and decay with no
need for anesthesia for most fillings." |
| Intraoral
video cameras give the dentist unmatched vision
inside the mouth. "We can see crevices in a
tooth that could never be detected with even the
most sophisticated dental probing tools,"
explains Dr. Garber. "The result is an
incredible jump-start on prevention," he
adds, "plus an invaluable diagnostic and
treatment planning tool." |
|
| By making her
smile less "gummy," the
doctors were able to improve the
natural harmony of Tish
Loetscher's beautiful face. Tish
is chief operating officer of
Regina Health and wife of oral surgeon Dr. Andy Loetscher. |
|
| United
Methodist Minister Dr. Thomas
Green, 47, says he spent 42 years
smiling in a way that hid his
teeth. "For the past 5
years, it's been so liberating to
finally show my smile." When
Dr. Green, who is involved in
television ministry, saw close-up
shots of his teeth, he knew he
needed assistance. "I went
to about 5 dentists and it became
quite apparent that Dr. Ronald
and Dr. Cathy were indeed the
best." |
|
|
|
| For Judy Smith,
founder of the Atlanta-based
charitable organization
"FunDraisers, "
teeth bleaching was the first
step to enhancing her pretty
smile. |
|
| "There
are people, like myself, who need
and want state-of-the-art
dentistry, " says Dr.
Johnnetta Cole, President of
Spelman College. "So if
Goldstein, Goldstein & Garber
did not exist in Atlanta, it
would be necessary to invent
them!" |
|
|
|
| MUCH
MORE THAN TEETH: COMPLETE DENTAL/FACIAL
HARMONY |
|
| Dr. Salama
emphasizes that the work of the office does not
focus on the restoration of a single tooth, or
the repair of an individual case of decay.
"We look at the whole picture, designing a
smile that is not separate from the individual,
but an integral part of the person's general
health and appearance. In the past, the dentist
took a few x-rays and told the patient what he or
she needed. That's completely changed
today," he adds. |
| Among the
techniques pioneered and practiced by this dental
dream team are porcelain veneers, tooth bonding,
dental implants, and bleaching of teeth to remove
stains and discoloration. Dr. Goldstein is author
of Change Your Smile, the consumer's guide to
cosmetic dentistry. |
| Many
patients come to GG&S following unsatisfactory
treatment by another specialist. The new crowns
or veneers did not appear or function as the
patients hoped they would. Why? The doctors say
that too often, the focus is on individual teeth,
rather than on complete dental/facial harmony. |
| Notes Dr.
Garber: "This is an office that is truly
different in approach. We've assembled a group of
specialists who use the most up-to-date
technology to facilitate patient
communication, not to take its place. We
recognize that esthetic dentistry can have an
incredible impact on an individual's health,
self-esteem, and even on their success. Our
master design, if you will, is to help meet these
needs with the most advanced and compassionate
dentistry possible." |
