I was waiting to recieve this book for a long time, but was dissapointed with it. I felt like there is not enough information about cosmetic options. The book says a lot about "dentist fobia" and how to brush your teeth properly, but not much about cosmetic dentistry.

I was invited to attend abc tv's THE VIEW many years ago and this dentist was one of the guest hosts. the view featured a complete dental make-over on this pretty girl who lost several teeth. THE RESULTS WERE SPECTACULAR!! The headliner that day was STEVIE WONDER!! Had a great time that morning. on the way out, everyone in the office was given a copy of this dentist's book - perfect smile. I actually found it very interesting because there wwas a large section in the book about dental implants. Very informative. It helped me figure out what I could ask my own dentist in Chicago. And he even heard about this author!! Pretty neat. i would recommend this to book to any one needing some insight into implants or other cosmetic procedures in dentistry
