Online Cosmetic Dentistry: Consumer Dental Makeover Portal 1stCosmeticDentist.com Launches

December 18, 2007 - The Internet Dental Alliance announces the re-launch of its consumer information website 1stCosmeticDentist.com. The website offers patients a variety of cosmetic dentistry resources. Patients can find a properly trained dentist, learn more about cosmetic dentistry, ask questions of an expert dentist, and more.

Users can quickly and easily find cosmetic dentists in their area by entering their zip code. Whether they're general dentists or prosthodontists, the doctors featured are all trained in smile makeover techniques.

Every month the site features one cosmetic dentist with remarkable expertise in the area of cosmetic dentistry. Visitors to the site can email their questions directly to the featured dentist, who will post answers to selected questions. In addition, the archived posts of past expert dentists provide a valuable information resource for consumers who want to learn more about cosmetic dental procedures.

Featured on 1stCosmeticDentist.com are consumer information articles such as "Restorative Dentistry and the Dental Crown" and "Find a Cosmetic Dentist to Understand Porcelain Dental Veneers" In addition, the site offers clinical articles such as "Teeth Bleaching Before Dental Crowns Are Placed" or "Restorative Dentistry Treatments: Inlays And Onlays." Consumers will also find summaries of recent news stories.

One of the highlights of the site is the success story section where other cosmetic dental patients share their positive experiences. Users are invited to submit their own stories. "I was constantly told that I had something in my teeth. When I saw the pictures, it hit me: my teeth looked disgusting," wrote one patient. "I got on the computer and checked local dental practices out. A few weeks later I was in possession of a shiny, new smile. It was the best money I ever spent."

This dental website offers some insight into dentists' thoughts on aesthetic dentistry in its survey section, where visitors learn that two out of three dentists think that celebrity cosmetic dentists and the extreme makeover services they offer are good for the profession. The dental website offers additional information on tooth whitening, porcelain veneers, dental bridges and crowns. There's also a glossary of common phrases, as well as links to special interest dental websites.

"We couldn't be more excited about launching this dental directory website!" exclaimed Jim Du Molin, owner of the Internet Dental Alliance. "We designed it to be straightforward and easy to use, giving you everything you need to know about cosmetic dentistry in one location, plus the ability to quickly find a qualified dentist near you. The internet gives dental patients more power than ever before!"
