Dr. Jonathan B. Levine, author and dentist to Hollywood's stars, takes readers on a virtual trip to the dentist's office. Have you dreamt of an eye-catching smile like Julia Roberts, Sarah Jessica Parker or Halle Berry? Before making changes, an aesthetic dentist will need to know your dislikes and likes in your own mouth. The dentist cannot give everyone Julia's smile. Just as hair and skin colors shape your look, facial features will determine the kind of dental transformation. The dentist will examine your features from tooth size to front and side angles. Looking in the mirror, does your smile show the whole tooth? The dentist will look at your teeth's proportions. Levine recommends bringing pictures of your smile before any dental work or before time changed your teeth. Communication between the dentist and patient is key to getting healthier teeth and a prettier smile.

Are you one of the one hundred million Americans who whiten their teeth? Tooth-whitening products and services are projected to reach fifteen billion dollars by 2010. All whiteners are not the same. It is important again to decide what you do not like in your teeth before choosing a whitener. Levine gives some tips on how to reduce stains such as tea, coffee, red wine, tomato juice, and soy sauce. Do you know what foods can brighten your smile? Read the book for exfoliating foods among other great tips.
