Excelling in all of the above, Dr. Nelson Y. Howard is a national leader in the field of cosmetic dentistry. His recent article published in <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nyhowarddds.com\/assets\/docs\/article0518.pdf\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">aesthetic advances<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, \u201cConsiderations for treating transgender patients\u201d (April 2018), details the need to consider the differences in anterior teeth between men and women. This publication is one of <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nyhowarddds.com\/dr-howards-articles.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">many articles<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> from Dr. Howard &#8212; he continues to lead the pack in the field of cosmetic dentistry!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">About Transgender Transformations<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A smile is worth a lot. While you may not realize it, there are distinct features that signal differences between a man and a woman\u2019s smile. No matter what stage of transition trans patients are in, they can feel welcome, cared for, and optimistic when they visit Dr. Howard for their smile transformation. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some specific dental considerations for trans patients include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The anatomical shape of the anterior (front) teeth<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The shape of the edges of the teeth &#8212; masculine teeth tend to be more angular, while feminine edges are typically rounded<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tooth thickness<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The texture of the front teeth<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The size of the teeth and the arch form space (the part of the smile that you see)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Choosing a dentist who is well aware of the importance of these differences can make all the difference in the end result of a cosmetic transformation. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Your Caring Cosmetic Dentist<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dr. Howard has considerable experience treating trans patients at all stages of their transitions. As he explains in the recent article, <\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201c[Transgender patients] do not feel reluctant to seek out dental care nor feel they are being discriminated against or viewed as different when they come in for a consultation and\/or proceed with their treatment, either on a routine basis or when they are wanting changes to complement their transition. Rather, most are outgoing, enthusiastic, happy, and self-confident individuals and proud to be who they are, regardless of what level or stage of trans they are presently in now.\u201d (p. 22)<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">He firmly believes any level of bias from a dental professional &#8212; from the dentist to the assistants, hygienists, and all support staff &#8212; would be completely unacceptable. Patients of all ages and stages of life can feel completely comfortable visiting this dental team for a wide range of dental services. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Talk to Dr. Howard this Month<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you are interested in visiting a caring, compassionate cosmetic dentist, don\u2019t hesitate to get in touch with Dr. Howard and his team.
