Cosmetic Dentist San Francisco

Cosmetic Dentistry is not just a smile makeover or a set of porcelain veneers to rejuvenate one's teeth and general looks.
The mouth is the most dynamic and exposed area of the human body. It analyzes anything that intends to enter the oral cavity. It communicates. It processes, triturates, and distinguishes the consistency and chemistry of a bolus that entered the mouth.
All patients who seek my help want their smiles aesthetically enhanced and rejuvenated.
However, any new smile has to be fully integrated into the harsh environment of the guardian and processing plant of any object that wants to enter the digestive tract.
This case shows the result of decades of exposure of teeth to erosion and parafunctional attrition. Teeth deteriorated at an accelerated pace, leading to a premature aging of this patient’s smile.
The rehabilitation of this mouth required various steps of diagnosis and analysis prior to formulating a treatment plan, which can only be successively developed for each individual patient. If you feel that your teeth have aged prematurely, please feel free to get more information at www.aesthetic-dentistry.com or by contacting Dr. Rabanus at [email protected].

I have to be grateful to live and work in this city. Thank you for your beauty and the special moments you have given me, San Francisco 🥰🌉

Guess which tooth is the implant and crown? 🤓🥳
This was a fun case. My patient is from Brazil, and she was determined to get her new teeth done by me. I am very greatful for her trust! 🙏

Our focus on beauty often distracts us from malfunctions that lead to a deterioration functional body units, such as our teeth and jaws.
Cosmetic dentistry can only be applied after discovering functional causes that contributed to a breakdown of oral and dental structures. The rehabilitation of proper function needs to be completed before a smile is rejuvenated.
This case illustrates such functional breakdown, even though the patient just wanted to get his worn teeth rebuilt, the asymmetries corrected, and the diastemas closed. He also felt that his teeth looked too small. He had no idea about the causes of this deterioration.
It was determined that he had a dysfunction of his chewing apparatus. His temporomandibular joint were forced out of their home position by a hyperactive "GPS" within his central nervous system and hyperactive mandibular positioning muscles. After educating him about the causes of his dental breakdown, the neuromuscular dysfiunction was addressed first. Once his neuronal positioning system was calmed, his teeth were restored in harmony with the recovered home position of his temporomandibular joints.
He now is comfortable, is not aware of griniding his teeth anymore, and will be able to enjoy his new smile for many years.

, my city, has never stopped to comfort me with its beauty during the pandemic. And when I step out of the office, this arrow says hello to the rest of the world. Hello World! With love from San Francisco ❤

Once in a while a patient of mine keeps sharing his/her enjoyment of the smile makeoever he/she received. And, if you look at the specific comments, they compliment someone's smile, not his/her veneers. It is all about looking natural 😁

Some like it white 😁!

Some patients, who have had naturally dark/yellow or stained teeth during their entire lives, just want the brightest opposite. They have made up their minds far before they meet with me.

"White yet natural" is their motto, and they look for someone who in their opinion would achieve that goal. Lucky me that they have found me. And apparently lucky for them, because they usually leave very happy with their new smiles.

Here is an example of one of the more drastic makeovers towards a brighter smile. The patient had his goal set. We talked for hours, I helped him visualize with images, and he tested with temporaries. His choice remained to have that "stellar" smile. So, he got what he was looking for and left the office a happy man...
