Have you been looking for a Franklin Lakes dentist who has a genuine compassion for you and your dental needs?

At the office of Dr.

Are you getting ready for an important event like a wedding, graduation, reunion, job interview or a special night on the town? What better way to look your best than to invest just a few minutes of your time each day to transform your teeth into a dazzling display of pristine brightness?

To help you achieve and sustain the shade that fits the colors of your face, eyes and hair, Wyckoff dentist Leonard Resnick offers a special take-home whitening system called Nite White ACP. It offers several great advantages when compared to over-the-counter options:

• Decreases sensitivity by 30% - many patients experience reduced sensitivity
• Significantly reduces fadeback - your tooth enamel stays whiter longer
• Adds greater luster and gloss - by filling in small tooth surface defects 

We create custom bleaching trays that you use daily for seven days. After that, we recommend that you visit us every six months for a quick touch-up. It's that easy and extremely cost-effective. Call the Resnick team to learn more.

Cosmetic bonding is pain-free, affordable and conservative, making it one of the most popular forms of smile enhancement available today. Without using any conventional materials (like porcelain or ceramic acrylics), Dr. Resnick can mold your teeth into their most ideal form.

Braces must be worn for years. Veneers require a significant financial investment. In light of these two options, bonding can be an appealing option - especially for children and teenagers. Bonding is capable of:

• Repairing decayed teeth
• Fixing chipped or cracked teeth
• Closing small spaces
• Revitalizing tooth color
• Reshaping worn teeth
• Speed - complete in one visit! 

In addition to the benefits described above, we use little or no anesthesia, remove very little tooth enamel and send nothing to a laboratory. After the material adheres to your teeth and we reshape it, Dr. Resnick understands the value of the last step in the bonding process: finishing polish. The polishing process is vital because it gives your bonded teeth their true luster and pristine brightness.

Dr. Leonard Resnick is a highly skilled cosmetic specialist with years of experience bonding teeth. If you want a simple, fast, affordable cosmetic improvement, look no further.

You show off your smile every day. It is on display while you relax with your family at home, when you give that client-winning business presentation and as you get ready for that special first date.

You may have seen makeovers on television and assumed that a redesigned smile was only for celebrities. The truth is that your perfect smile - better, brighter and younger - is well within your reach!

Wyckoff dentist, Dr. Leonard Resnick can give you the smile of your dreams. The first step is to examine every factor that contributes to your smile, including your:

• Tooth Proportions - proper ratios for shape, size, length, width, angle and exposure
• Tooth Color - and also tooth shade should complement your skin tone, eye and hair color
• Facial Structure - square, round or oval
• Lip Line - does it match the midline of your face at rest and while smiling? How does the symmetry of your midline match the center of your face?
• Gum Line - how much of your gums show when you smile? Are the contours on each side appropriate?
• Age, Weight & Gender - relative to the size of your teeth for correct proportions 

Did you know that your face is uniquely shaped to match a specific type of smile? Contact Dr. Leonard Resnick and give us the opportunity to help you discover it.

"My smile was very "gummy" and I was self conscious about it. I had porcelain veneers done about 10 years ago, but they were too big, and thick, and I was self conscious about them. Not only did Dr. Resnick listen to my concerns, but he asked me specific questions that guided me toward the smile that I desired. I brought a picture of a smile that I loved and he used it as a model during the procedure. I am thrilled with my results! I am no longer self conscious of my smile and I smile all the time."

Robin had old veneers and showed too much gum tissue when she smiled. The gums were repositioned to expose more of her natural teeth and then ten porcelain veneers were fabricated. The length and shape of her new veneers are more in proportion with her lips and her face. I have watched her personality change throughout the process as she is no longer afraid to smile with confidence. She now shows off her new smile every chance she gets.

Porcelain veneers are the centerpiece of every smile makeover. These bright, beautiful tooth coverings are roughly the size of a fingernail - about one millimeter thick.

After a thorough analysis by your Wyckoff dentist, Leonard Resnick will sit down with you to explain the scope of treatment and the type of veneers he recommends.

The next step is to gather all manner of photos: your high school graduation photos, older photos, celebrity smiles that you enjoy and admire from your favorite magazines. We discuss facial features like cheek bones, noses, lips, eyes and hair color. Short of the actual moment they see their new smile for the very first time, many of our cosmetic patients remark that this was their favorite part of the process.

As for the final results, "astonishment" might be the best word. Dr. Resnick says, "One of the best compliments I get is when my patients tell me that other people don't even realize they are wearing veneers. They just remark how wonderful, youthful and bright their smile is."

Give your smile a chance to discover its full potential: call Franklin Lakes dentist Leonard J. Resnick, DDS.

The future is here: the success rate for implants is higher than any other dental procedure. With four additional years of specialized training in complex reconstructive dentistry, Dr. Leonard Resnick commands the expertise and the experience to make sure your first or next implant is a complete success.

The difference in expertise becomes especially clear when you begin to analyze the implant process. Most dentists possess restorative skill but lack surgical skill, so they require the talent of an oral surgeon to complete the two-step implant process.

Dual trained in both phases of implant process (surgery and restoration), Franklin Lakes dentist Leonard Resnick can oversee the entire implant process from start to finish, ensuring the most natural appearance and the most durable performance.

Your implant has the potential to last for the rest of your life. No other type of restoration can make that claim. Give your mouth the health it deserves: call Dr. Leonard Resnick and learn more about implants.
