Beautiful Smile Makeovers with Porcelain Veneers and Full-mouth Rehabilitations for Worn Teeth. Cosmetic Dentistry and Smile Design explained on this page are dedicated to help you make an educated choice about choosing a cosmetic dentist and understanding your smile.

04/23/2025

The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) is widely recognized as a leader in the field of cosmetic dentistry, setting a high bar for quality and excellence. What makes the AACD truly stand out is its unique accreditation program—it's the first of its kind and still the only one available today. This program helps highlight dentists who have gone the extra mile to master the art and science of cosmetic dentistry.

Since cosmetic dentistry isn't considered an official specialty by the American Dental Association, any dentist can market themselves as a cosmetic dentist. That’s why the AACD’s accreditation is so valuable—it offers patients a way to find professionals who have demonstrated advanced skill and knowledge in the field.

Becoming accredited by the AACD involves a thorough process, including written exams and detailed clinical case presentations. These cases must showcase exceptional attention to detail and truly outstanding results. Only dentists who meet these high standards are awarded accreditation.

If you’re exploring cosmetic dental options, it’s worth checking whether there’s an AACD-accredited dentist in your area. Comparing their work and approach to others can help you feel more confident in finding the right fit for your smile goals.

Comprehensive Cosmetic Dentistry: Managing the Causes of Worn Teeth and Smile Makeovers
Worn teeth are often the initial reason patients seek a cosmetic dentist, motivated by their aged and diminished appearance to pursue smile makeovers. Many are unaware that premature wear can be a sign of underlying health issues or lifestyle habits that need to be addressed before any cosmetic procedure. The only
cosmetic dentist of San Francisco accredited by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD), Dr. Jorg-Peter Rabanus, emphasizes the importance of understanding and managing these underlying factors to ensure long-term oral health and the success of smile makeovers.

A smile is composed of static and dynamic elements.

Lips, facial muscles, and the masticatory neuromuscular system are the dynamic parts. Teeth, gingiva, and alveolar bones are the static parts.

In dental occlusion and function, the pillars of support refer to the fundamental components that maintain the stability, function, and health of the masticatory system. The pillars ensure proper force distribution, occlusal harmony, and long-term health.

These pillars include the vertical dimension of occlusion, anterior guidance, occlusal stability, temporomandibular joint health, neuromuscular harmony, and periodontal support.

Lips that are quite independent of the pillars of support. Unlike teeth, bones, and TMJ, lips are highly dynamic soft-tissue structures that extremely vary from person to person. They are involved in activities like speech, swallowing, and, of course, facial expression that we all care about so much.

This is underlined by the different hardwiring of structures that are supplied by the Facial Nerve and the ones that are supplied by the Trigeminal Nerve.

The primary function of the Facial Nerve is facial expression. The primary function of the Trigeminal Nerve is sensory of the face and oral cavity, and motoric for the muscles of mastication.

While the cosmetic dentist can set the “stage” for a new and rejuvenated smile, he is unable to change the dynamics of the “curtain.” In the above case, there is some asymmetry in the function of the smile muscles, as zygomaticus major, zygomaticus minor, levator l***a superioris, levator anguli oris, and risorius. They are supplied by the Facial Nerve, and it is not uncommon the one side “fires” differently than the other side. In extreme cases, a person might suffer from Bell’s palsy, which leads to a lopsided smile.

A cosmetic dentist can improve a smile by addressing the static elements. The dynamic conditions will remain.

A smile is universal, but its brilliance is magnified when driven by a positive outlook.

While cosmetic dentistry can enhance smiles aesthetically, its true impact lies in amplifying the joy and confidence that make a smile radiant.

A cosmetic dentist merely acts as an artist, enhancing the beauty of one's natural expression and enriching the lives of those around us with vibrancy and inspiration.

The aesthetic improvements they provide help convey optimism, spreading hope and enthusiasm in a way that uplifts everyone.

Worn teeth look older. This often coincides with a more aggressive look in some people, while with others it leads to a more timid look than they really are. A smile makeover done by your cosmetic dentist is based on a series of diagnostic and treatment steps that will give you the smile that matches and even enhances your true personality. :)

Cosmetic Dentistry is not just a smile makeover or a set of porcelain veneers to rejuvenate one's teeth and general looks.
The mouth is the most dynamic and exposed area of the human body. It analyzes anything that intends to enter the oral cavity. It communicates. It processes, triturates, and distinguishes the consistency and chemistry of a bolus that entered the mouth.
All patients who seek my help want their smiles aesthetically enhanced and rejuvenated.
However, any new smile has to be fully integrated into the harsh environment of the guardian and processing plant of any object that wants to enter the digestive tract.
This case shows the result of decades of exposure of teeth to erosion and parafunctional attrition. Teeth deteriorated at an accelerated pace, leading to a premature aging of this patient’s smile.
The rehabilitation of this mouth required various steps of diagnosis and analysis prior to formulating a treatment plan, which can only be successively developed for each individual patient. If you feel that your teeth have aged prematurely, please feel free to get more information at www.aesthetic-dentistry.com or by contacting Dr. Rabanus at [email protected].

I have to be grateful to live and work in this city. Thank you for your beauty and the special moments you have given me, San Francisco 🥰🌉

Guess which tooth is the implant and crown? 🤓🥳
This was a fun case. My patient is from Brazil, and she was determined to get her new teeth done by me. I am very greatful for her trust! 🙏

Our focus on beauty often distracts us from malfunctions that lead to a deterioration functional body units, such as our teeth and jaws.
Cosmetic dentistry can only be applied after discovering functional causes that contributed to a breakdown of oral and dental structures. The rehabilitation of proper function needs to be completed before a smile is rejuvenated.
This case illustrates such functional breakdown, even though the patient just wanted to get his worn teeth rebuilt, the asymmetries corrected, and the diastemas closed. He also felt that his teeth looked too small. He had no idea about the causes of this deterioration.
It was determined that he had a dysfunction of his chewing apparatus. His temporomandibular joint were forced out of their home position by a hyperactive "GPS" within his central nervous system and hyperactive mandibular positioning muscles. After educating him about the causes of his dental breakdown, the neuromuscular dysfiunction was addressed first. Once his neuronal positioning system was calmed, his teeth were restored in harmony with the recovered home position of his temporomandibular joints.
He now is comfortable, is not aware of griniding his teeth anymore, and will be able to enjoy his new smile for many years.

, my city, has never stopped to comfort me with its beauty during the pandemic. And when I step out of the office, this arrow says hello to the rest of the world. Hello World! With love from San Francisco ❤

Once in a while a patient of mine keeps sharing his/her enjoyment of the smile makeoever he/she received. And, if you look at the specific comments, they compliment someone's smile, not his/her veneers. It is all about looking natural 😁

Some like it white 😁!

Some patients, who have had naturally dark/yellow or stained teeth during their entire lives, just want the brightest opposite. They have made up their minds far before they meet with me.

"White yet natural" is their motto, and they look for someone who in their opinion would achieve that goal. Lucky me that they have found me. And apparently lucky for them, because they usually leave very happy with their new smiles.

Here is an example of one of the more drastic makeovers towards a brighter smile. The patient had his goal set. We talked for hours, I helped him visualize with images, and he tested with temporaries. His choice remained to have that "stellar" smile. So, he got what he was looking for and left the office a happy man...
