Dr. Singer comes from a long line of dentists, and has always treated the profession as an art. In addition to using the best laboratories available, he invests tens of thousands of dollars each year to stay abreast of the newest technologies in dentistry, so as to provide the best care to his patients.

Educated at the University of Pennsylvania, Dr. Singer debunks the myth of the non-existent term "Specializing in Cosmetic Dentistry."

"There is no such thing," he says. "Creating the best cosmetic effect that your smile can achieve involves combining elements of all 7 specialities of dentistry. " Those 7 areas are: oral surgery, orthodontics, periodontics, pedodontics, endodontics, oral medicine and oral radiology. "Our dental practice is based on sound biologic, physiologic and holistic principals."

METHODOLOGY

Dr. Singer believes in the importance of the following three steps:

Understanding the patient's concerns

Diagnosing the problem and its one, or many, contributing causes

Comprehensively treating all the components of the problem

All accepted new patients are given a comprehensive exam including examinations of the hard and soft oral tissues, the muscalature, the glands, and other dental related parts of the head and neck, as well as an exam of the TMJ (Temporo Mandibular Joint). If there is something wrong with the joint, Dr. Singer will also conduct an exam to see if there is TMD (Temporo Mandibular Disfunction).

Once we begin to treat you, if you are having cosmetic reconstruction to your teeth, Dr. Singer only uses the best labs for your work. There are approximately 10,000 dental labs in the United States, and only a small
handful of them meet our standards. After years of experience, Dr. Singer has identified the highest quality labs, where the technicians are artisans... the finest in their craft. Conversely, these labs will only work with dentists
who meet their highest standards of the craft as well, in order to bring you the best product possible.

IMPORTANCE OF A HOLISTIC APPROACH:

If your occlusion is contributing to your periodontal disease because your teeth are misaligned, you can't have a successful outcome by treating just one of the issues. You need to have a dentist who can look at your overall oral health and be able to treat all aspects.

YOUR MOUTH IS A PART OF YOUR OVERALL BODY.
YOUR ORAL HEALTH IS PART OF YOUR OVERALL HEALTH.

DR. SINGER'S SUCCESS EQUATION:

TOTAL HEALTH = BRIGHT SMILE = SUCCESS

As quoted in Clinical Impressions, studies have shown that "appearance constitutes 55% of our first impressions of people. In job interviews, about 75% of the decision to hire is based on the applicant's appearance...there is likely to be an 8-20% variation in entry-level salary based on personal appearance...people who are attractive tend to be more at ease socially... than people who feel unattractive."
