Ryan came in wanting to conservatively improve his smile before his upcoming wedding. Ideal treatment would have been orthodontics but he decided to postpone ortho until after the wedding. By doing porcelain veneers on his 2 front teeth, Ryan got exactly what he was looking for. And judging from the note from his mom (below) she was very happy, too!
Dr. Bernstein thank you so much for Ryan's beautiful new teeth! He sent me pictures and they look great! You did a great job and we are so pleased! We would like to get the bottom ones done as soon as we can. His wedding photos should look great with those teeth! Ha! Thank you so much!

The following review was posted on www.DoctorOogle.com, a website dedicated to reviews of dentists. Rachel is an prominent Emergency Room Physician who had some frustrating problems with her bite and with wear on her teeth. Thank you, Rachel, for your glowing review!
I ended up at Dr. Bernstein's office after a colleague of his decided my case was beyond his own capabilities. Dr. B had been his instructor at the Las Vegas Institute.By the time I arrived at Dr. B's office I had completed over 1 year of orthodontia plus about 6 months worth of procedures with the dentist who referred me to him. I'm in my forties and have had life-long problems with acid reflux and grinding that resulted in shrinking yellow teeth with no enamel and numerous fillings. My primary interest was preservation of my teeth, not cosmetic appearance. However, the yellowing and dark fillings did bother me some - I could not tolerate any whitening procedures because the lack of enamel on my teeth made these procedures extremely painful. Dr. B has a great bedside manner. He explains everything thoroughly and wants to be certain that you understand and feel comfortable. I have never had a fear of dentists but, if I did, Dr. B would be my #1 choice. He is calm, warm, and reassuring. He provides medication which relaxes you, reduces pain, and makes you forget the time you spent in the chair. While cosmetic appearance was not my primary goal, I am thrilled with the outcome. My teeth are beautiful!

The following review was posted on Yelp.com by one of our patients, Cindy, who recently had some cosmetic and restorative work done on 8 of her front teeth.
I was just complimented again yesterday on my teeth... something that never used to happen, and I decided to send over my review about the guy who has provided me with this enjoyable change.
Dr. Bernstein is the reason for my compliment and he truly is an amazing dentist. I went to him because I had a broken front tooth that needed a second root canal and my front teeth had been capped and I had some problems with enamel loss on surrounding teeth and some gum issues. I had had some very painful prior experiences working on these teeth and was not looking forward to it again.
I chose Dr. Benstein because I'd heard that he had great pain management options and did quality work. I had heard correctly. I met with he and his staff and went over all my options. He was great at letting me decide the extent of work I wanted done and I never felt he was suggesting extra work... I had another dentist view my mouth and his recommendation for work entailed a lot more time, money and what I thought would be pain... Dr. Bernstein came up with excellent solutions and I was in and out of his office in just a few visits with an incredible smile. The best part of it was the absence of pain... and wow! that was a new experience for me... and the level of comfort and care that he and his staff provided (the cozy blanket and soothing music along with the medication definitely works). He has a very caring and genuine personality that puts you at ease. It was a very easy process to go through.
They gave me some different payment plans and have been consistently following up with me and I am exceptionally pleased with my new smile.
My daughter unfortunately broke the same front tooth that I did and presently has on braces, however, once she is out of them... well it goes without saying that Dr. Bernstein will be my choice of dentist to replace her front tooth and finish off her smile. I highly recommend Dr. Bernstein as a professional that I think everyone would be pleased with.Josh Bernstein, DDS Founder and President, Dental Comfort Academy http://www.allnewsmiles.com http://www.sanfranciscosedationdentist.com http://www.comfortacademy.org http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1eTrwCfu5Y

Janet had veneers placed on her front teeth many years ago, along with a crown over a root canal on her right lateral incisor. She didn't like the position or the look of the crown and she felt like her veneers weren't white enough or shaped the way she wanted them. It was important to Janet that her teeth look very natural so that no one really noticed a major change in her appearance. In 2 visits, we replaced the crown and the veneers, giving her the all new, very natural smile she has been wanting.

Patients who have difficulty breathing through their nose are often very uncomfortable at the dentist. Because they are forced to breathe through their mouth, they have problems with gagging, choking, claustrophobia, impressions, cotton rolls, rubber dams, water spray, retraction etc. For many reasons beyond the scope of this post, it is important to be able to breathe through the nose, and an ENT referral is a good idea to help these patients. However, a simple solution at every dental visit for a mouth breather is Breathe Right Strips. Breathe Right Strips are like spring loaded Band Aids that are applied across the bridge of the nose. Once they are stuck on, they hold the nostrils open wider, allowing air to flow more freely through the nose. Professional athletes are often seen on the playing field wearing Breathe Right Strips to help them with maximum air exchange. Others with allergies, deviated septums, sinus problems or snorers use Breathe Right Strips every night for sleep. Try Breathe Right Strips for your next dental appointment if you are a mouth breather. You may even want to wear them every night for a better night's sleep.
