Some people see getting their mouth in shape as daunting and complicated, admits Dr. Dustin Nelson. “Through a unique multidiscipline style, we remove those complications and apprehensions, and simplify the process.”
Dr. Nelson takes the cringe out of dentistry. He goes out of his way to make the experience unique, which is apparent the moment patients arrive at his innovative facility. “The design was conceived to maximize comfort and serenity. I believe that paying attention to an array of details helps clients feel comfortable in rejuvenating their mouth and their smile.” Patients say the facility is a pleasurable find. The icing on the cake, however, is his passion and his distinctive multidisciplinary approach to the mouth. Dr. Nelson believes in looking at the entire mouth to achieve a beautiful smile. “Often clients need to first rejuvenate and sometimes rebuild the foundation of their mouths to obtain optimal cosmetic results.” Whether a client needs dental implants, bone regeneration due to prolonged tooth loss, a complete smile makeover, neuromuscular dentistry (otherwise known as TMJ), endodontics or the treatment of gum disease, Dr. Nelson goes beyond cosmetics to achieve
optimal results.

The form and the function of the teeth are as important as the look. Through his postgraduate work at the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies, Dr. Nelson has refined his skills in this total treatment approach. Some clients can have a perfect and beautiful smile in as few as two appointments, he says, while others require multiple visits to his office. No matter how many appointments it takes, Dr. Nelson wants his clients’ visits to be comfortable and the treatment sequencing undaunting. “My facility and the serene environment make a big difference.”

Inside Information
THE MIDDLE-AGED MOUTH
As we age, those once white, bright and long teeth become thin, darkened, chipped and worn. Dr. Nelson refers to this as the “middle-aged mouth.” As teeth wear down, the face becomes shorter and loses its youthful shape. However, this can be reversed by lengthening one full arch with porcelain veneers or both arches in the case of extreme wear. Dr. Nelson points out that when defining what best restores youthfulness to one’s face, this component is often overlooked and it can make the most significant difference of any anti-aging antidote. “There is much talk about beauty and time,” Dr. Nelson says. “In our youths we revel in our good looks that are handed to us ... we bask in the approval and envy of others. But when we are brought low by the inroads of Father Time, it is up to us to explore opportunities to restore that beauty and, for the first time, earn it.”
