Dental Fillings
In an industry where image is everything, "good oral hygiene" might be misunderstood for little more than a great smile. The fact is, "poor oral hygiene results in bacteria build-up, which can lead to serious health problems such as strokes and heart attacks."
But not to worry, going to the dentist is not necessarily the agonizing process it once was. So says Dr. Jan Linhart, one of New York's leading cosmetic and restorative dentists, who counts David Letterman among his clients. Linhart uses the gamut of modern procedures; laser whitening, porcelain laminate veneers, bonding, composite resin and, perhaps most important, the wand--for pain-free delivery of anesthetic.
For further information about Dr. Linhart and the services he offers call (212) 682-5180.
