El Paseo Center for Cosmetic, General and Sedation Dentistry
The Art of the Smile What do residents of San Francisco, Denver, Santa Barbara, Newport Beach, Seattle, Chicago, London, New York, Martha’s Vineyard, and the Coachella Valley have in common with many of the nations cosmetic dentists? They ALL chose Dr. Don Brown as the cosmetic dentist to “do their teeth” when they decided to improve their smiles.
The reason? Dr. Brown has a total of 32 years clinical experience creating beautiful smiles.
Cosmetic dentistry can involve much more than a simple veneer. Many times a person will have broken or discolored teeth, implants or old crowns and bridges that require replacement. Dr. Brown and his experienced staff routinely combine different types of ceramics to create a functional and beautiful smile.
Nothing lights up a room like a great big smile. A mouth full of sparkling white, “naturally-looking” straight teeth radiates good health and attracts admiring glances. Unfortunately, not everyone has a beautiful smile, but cosmetic dentistry expert Dr. Brown can change that. Tucked away in their tranquil El Paseo office are state-of-the-art technologies and materials that are creating an aesthetic dental revolution in the desert.
Some cosmetic dentistry dilemmas are relatively easy for this smile wizard — for example, brightening teeth that have spent a lifetime immersed in coffee, tea, or tobacco products.
A special dental-bleaching formula can quickly restore youthful whiteness in as little as an hour! Or perhaps the problem is old-fashioned, unsightly dental repairs. Dr. Brown uses a long-lasting, tooth-colored material that can completely replace those dull metal restorations and fillings.
More challenging cases involve teeth that are chipped, cracked, misaligned, or missing — but even those can be beautified quickly and painlessly. Like a talented sculptor, Dr. Brown provides properly shaped and colored veneers and crowns that create a normal, natural-looking smile. The entire process can take as little as three weeks and can change a patient’s whole outlook on life.
“One thing that really improves a person’s self-esteem is a great smile,” says Dr. Brown. “We often see patients who, when we first meet them, haven’t smiled in years. But they are beaming from ear to ear when their treatment is completed.”
Sometimes gums are more of an aesthetic problem than teeth for a patient’s smile. In such cases, the doctor may recommend laser gum surgery, the newest technique for effectively changing the look and shape of the gums. Their Waterlase MD Laser actually removes unnecessary and unsightly tissue in just a few minutes with no discomfort.
Cosmetic dentistry patients especially love another of the doctors’ state-of-the-art technologies: the latest in imaging systems. It allows them to design a new smile on their computers and then show the patient their “before” and “after” looks. “There are no surprises,” Dr. Brown notes. “This system provides extra assurance that the investment our patients make in their dental health will be well worth it.”
Dr. Brown also offers sedation dentistry, the ultimate in comfort. Have your dental treatment done while you snooze! This technique is for people who fear dental treatment, have sensitive teeth, hate needles, or are just too busy to come in for multiple appointments and need to have as much treatment accomplished in one visit as possible. The office follows the policies and principles of the Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation, and you are monitored thoughout the treatment. Simply take a pill, and when the treatment is finished, your companion takes you home, where you finish your restful sleep with little or no memory of the dental treatment.
Dr. Brown is a 1975 honor graduate of New York University College of Dentistry, recognized by the faculty as “the senior student showing the most promise in clinical dentistry.” Following a one-year Air Force general practice residency, Dr. Brown served at Zweibrucken AB Germany for three years. In private practice since 1979, Dr. Brown was inducted as a Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry in 1986 and since 1995 has studied with a dental icon, Dr. Peter Dawson D.D.S., founder and director of the Dawson Center for Advanced Dental Studies in St. Petersburg, FL., concentrating on the marriage of functional dentistry and the design of beautiful smiles.
The El Paseo Center’s atmosphere is far from being a stereotypical dental office. The spacious surroundings and “on-time” appointments put patients in a relaxed frame of mind, and the genuine warmth of the entire staff makes a visit to Dr. Brown a truly pleasant experience.
“We offer people who care about their appearance the opportunity to achieve exactly what they’re looking for,” says Dr. Brown. “By working closely with our patients and listening to their concerns, we all end up happy with the results. And those results last for a very long time. Then we all sleep well!”
