subject: Dentist Joins The Bleaching Wagon To Keep Up With Patients [print this page]


Whalebone corsets are not the sole means of self improvement. The very advanced medicine now allows procedures that used to be unwarranted or unthinkable three decades ago. But now, you can acquire hair in exchange for cash as well as whiter teeth, prettier eyes, greater smile, or more appropriately sized breasts.

Below are some but certainly not all of the techniques purposed for permanent personal enhancement plus some cautionary words from a certain Cedar Rapids, a psychologist who safeguards overdoing this matter. A certain dentist has experienced a tremendous increase in the number of patients who now bleach their teeth. People desire to have extremely white teeth. Outrageously white teeth are their ultimate goal. The responding dentist even admitted to bleach his teeth, perhaps to keep up with his clients. Regular consultation is just one step, but one must also be religious in using his kit for the week. The standard cost is 285 dollars and it tastes fairly good. Back in 1994, only 15 patients bleach their teeth, a combination of uppers and lowers to complete 22 arches. Now, 10 percent of all his patients go for bleaching procedures.

Insurance seldom covers teeth whitening. Mouth makeovers are one department in dentistry that is also growing rapidly in this dentist's clinic. A dramatic change in shape and character can now be witnessed to happen in a person's smile. Porcelain veneers are being used to revamp the smile that may cost from $2,000 to $8,000 and are rarely covered by insurance.

An observation is that culture has a lot to do with this heightened consumer interest and also because the said technology is now made easily accessible and affordable. People will definitely be willing to go for it if ever they have a chance to improve their looks. On another dental front, he is saying that more clients refuse to use the outmoded silver dental fillings and like the more updated white bonded filling materials.

A certain stylist at a hair salon says she will sometimes see a man waving while she is out with her husband only to realize that it is one of their clients in the salon. Since ninety percent of the people who visits her for non surgical prosthetic hair replacement, it is not surprising that this particular client is a man. She has somehow specialized in male pattern baldness and most of her customers have ages 25 to 40.

One of the greatest developments is in the new technique for replacing lost hair. We are done with the days where the awful looking artificial looking rug is placed on a bald guy's top. A special prosthesis is used in this method and it looks a lot like human skin with hair which is in turn attached to the client's scalp or his own hair. There are some questions that the stylist asks before moving on with the prosthetic hair procedure, like about a person's activity level, for a more tailor fit end product. The cost of the process ranges from $1,000 to $1,400 and it needs to be refreshed every year.
