Harmonizing the principles of mathematical formulas, disciplinary sciences, and the arts behind modern aesthetic dentistry, Dr. Lucy achieves powerful results for her patients, restoring them to a natural and bespoke smile.
Dr. Lucy, a graduate of New York University College of Dentistry, has been in private practice serving Westchester County for over 30 years.
She takes pride in developing a natural smile that radiates self-confidence. Her technical proficiency in dental restorations results in a successful merger of beauty and function.
Dr. Lucy has paired her advanced cosmetic dental techniques with non-surgical facial aesthetics (Botox & Juvederm therapy) to enhance the natural smile.
Dr. Lucy consistently attends continuing education and advanced training courses to keep abreast of the latest innovations and techniques.
At the forefront of a well-crafted smile exists the relationship between the aesthetic dentist and the patient. Understanding what the patient sees in the mirror and aspires to see is key.
Equally important is the role of the aesthetic dentist – to guide the patient towards an appropriate smile design that complements and highlights, those unique characteristics of a patients face and smile that is uniquely – You.
The modern aesthetic dentist approaches a true bespoke smile design differently than your average dental practitioner.
The trained and experienced aesthetic dentist looks at and considers symmetry; pays close attention to the details of the individual’s eyes, nose, shape of their face, lips, different types of teeth; their shapes, shades, shadows, gum lines – all equally important in the art and science behind a smile design.
The aesthetic dentist also considers angles, distances, symmetry, and the appearance at rest when speaking, laughing and smiling.
There must exist parameters and a harmonic balance between all the considered elements of a smile. Designing outside of these harmonic-balanced parameters leads to an un-natural and unaesthetic results. For instance, any cosmetic dentist can give you ‘white and bright teeth’ but are they shaped in a natural way that is appropriate to your face, lips, gum lines, etc? Is there a natural look of variation in the shading and shadowing of the teeth? or are they ‘chalky’?
These are just some of the considerations that go into the making of a beautiful smile.
