A Letter From Dr. Sohl

I know why I restore smiles and I have “A formula for success.”

This is a glorious time in dentistry. The art and science of implant and cosmetic dentistry has melded together with new technological advances. Porcelain veneers luster like natural enamel. Minimally invasive implant and cosmetic procedures produce unbelievably instantaneous results. 3-D CT scan computer based virtual implant surgeries means no stitches and little, if any, discomfort. CAD designed surgical stents enable precise implant placement as well as pre-operative fabrication of the teeth so the implants and the teeth are placed at the same time. Smiles in an hour, (Teeth in an Hour) in a morning (Teeth in a Day) or in just a few weeks are routine at the Nile Aesthetic Institute, co-founded with renowned plastic surgeon, Dr. Robert N. Cooper.

It’s a simple formula for success.

One of the most advanced facilities in the state of Florida, including the i-CAT dental CT scan, one experienced doctor with a caring knowledgeable team, and a passion to give everyone the freedom to express themselves with their own unique smile.

As Director of Implant and Cosmetic Dentistry, I see first hand the the benefits of smile makeovers. I also understand there are millions of people who are either not aware that they can be helped or they are reluctant to proceed with implant and cosmetic dentistry.

Many people are under the impression that implant and cosmetic dentistry is painful and time consuming. They are also concerned that it would be a major inconvenience to their daily lifestyle. Fear of pain and not having the time are two major objections often sited for not having followed through with beneficial treatment to restore their smiles. I have seen everything and I mean everything. It doesn’t matter because I know why they haven’t acted on their desires. I totally understand the desperation to stay out of the dental chair. Therefore, I don’t judge the patient on what teeth or smile they present with. I congratulate them for walking through the front door. For some, so successful in other of life’s arenas, taking the first step takes all the courage they can muster to walk in the office.

Many have suffered from a belittling “Inner Voice”:

I must hide my teeth,

I am embarrassed

I am ashamed that I can’t or haven’t dealt with this

I am scared, no petrified- I am a coward

I don’t wan t to be hurt again

I don’t want to waste any more money

I don’t want to waste anymore time

I want to fix my teeth but I can’t take time from work, family or other obligations.

I know why they don’t make eye contact, why they hide their mouth with their hand. I observe how they have adopted an emotionless, expressionless demeanor just so they won’t get caught smiling. They have put life on the back burner.

.

We are a Passion driven office.

The office exudes excitement about smiles. The walls are adorned with portraits of patients that have had their smiles restored. The office team members share their enthusiasm with patients as they can envision their smile transformation. Positive, upbeat supportive, attentive, caring, efficient.

I know why I restore smiles. A new smile makes a person whole again. I see it in their eyes. There is sparkle and life where there once was hopelessness, despair often embarrassment. It shouts, this is the real me I can finally express who I really am! I am finally free!

Why are smiles so important?

Freedom of expression, unrestricted relaxation of facial muscles allows the true reveal of inner emotions. Confidence, trust, caring, poise, posture of success, command of the situation. Genuine honesty is portrayed; compassion, body language, and passion are in balance. Smiles are the ultimate accessory to the successful image.

Revitalize your Smile today at the Nile Aesthetic Institute with Michael Sohl DDS, Director of Implant and Cosmetic Dentistry; he revitalizes smiles on a daily basis.

There are three basic scenarios for revitalizing smiles in a day:

1- Healthy teeth that need cosmetic enhancement with porcelain veneers to correct size, shape, color arrangement and bite problems . Beautiful, custom made temporaries are worn while natural luminescent veneers are fabricated and placed about three weeks later.

2- In less time than it takes to play golf, tennis, go shopping or see a play, unhealthy teeth that are removed, implants placed and a fixed set of new teeth are secured to the implants . This process, pioneered by Dr. Tom Balshi of Philadelphia, has been characterized by the name Teeth in a Day.

3- For denture wearers, “Teeth in an Hour” utilizes the latest dental CT scan technology and Nobel Guide computer programming , Implants and a new set of fixed teeth can be placed in a miraculous procedure that takes about an hour to complete.
