da Vinci Studios, the dental laboratory service for ABC’s Extreme Makeover and Fox’s The Swan, now offers a lifetime warranty on their porcelain veneers.

“With more than 30 years in the business, da Vinci is confident enough in the quality of our veneers that we are now able to offer a lifetime warranty on all new cases,” commented da Vinci founder, Daniel Materdomini. “I know this is not common in the industry, but I can, without a doubt, back my products 100%. We know that this is going to make potential patients more comfortable in the idea of investing in a new smile.”

Dr. Charles Nottingham, lead cosmetic dentist at Smile South Florida Cosmetic Dentistry, has been working with da Vinci for over 20 years. Recently, he had the distinct pleasure to perform restorative dentistry on Mr. Materdomini’s mother. After the completion of the case, Mr. Materdomini said,

“…your preparations and impressions exceed perfection [for our Mother]… If the Extreme Makeover show was filmed in Florida, I am sure you would be the providing dentist.”

In addition to performing work on da Vinci’s mom, da Vinci Studios has featured Smile South Florida in Dentistry Today Magazine and currently displays on the hompage of its website three of Dr. Nottingham’s patients out of a total of five.

Joining da Vinci Studios in its commitment to excellence in dentistry and service, Smile South Florida Cosmetic Dentistry will be offering complimentary cosmetic consultations to all of those interested in da Vinci porcelain materials. In addition, Smile South Florida will make available da Vinci’s free smile design preview, which means patients can get a glimpse into how they can look with da Vinci veneers.

I think it would be great to participate in National Smile Month. The handbook can be found here. The month runs from May 18 through June 17.

The ‘Brush for Health‘ tagline raises awareness of the systemic links between oral health and overall health - focusing on the relationship between gum disease and chronic health conditions such as heart disease, stroke, renal disease and diabetes.

Oral Health America is joining the British Dental Health Foundation and its global arm the International Dental Health Foundation to educate, inform and influence a global audience on the importance of good oral and overall health.

Tamarac, FL, February 16, 2007 — Dr. Charles Nottingham, cosmetic dentist for Smile South Florida, visited Tamarac Elementary (which is in Broward County near Coral Springs) to educate and entertain a class of kindergarden and first graders. Accompanying Dr. Nottingham was his furry assistant Spunky the Donkey.

Dr. Nottingham began talking about what a dentist does and what equipment a dentist uses. The doctor explained that he has to wear gloves, a mask, and a coat in order to protect the patient and himself from germs. The children loved Dr. Nottingham’s magnifying glasses and thought the glasses looked funny. Dr. Nottingham exclaimed that the glasses were necessary to see very close up.

Then, Dr. Nottingham showed a video and strongly insisted that it was important that everyone brush their teeth. The doctor showed pictures of patients with plaque and the large cavities that resulted from not brushing one’s teeth. Dr. Nottingham asserted that children and adults should not eat sweets because bacteria feed off the sugar.
