Written for both patients and dentists, Open Wide(r): A Guide to Smile and Facial Aesthetics to Enhance Your Confidence, Appearance, and Overall Health by Larry Rosenthal, DDS, describes the possibilities and approaches that people can take to enhance their self-image, improve their general health, enhance their beauty, and enrich the fulfillment they derive from life itself.
“This is a book about the possibilities. It is a book of optimism and passion. It is a renaissance, a revival of the art and beauty in the practice of dentistry. And it is a renaissance accessible to all, to dentists and their patients alike. It puts health and beauty within everyone’s reach,” said Rosenthal.
In the book, Rosenthal describes the essential role that dentistry plays synergistically in both the health and beauty of the head and neck. It also demonstrates the interchange between the patient and dentist via a multitude of before and after photos, which may be useful in aesthetic and restorative consultations.
Rosenthal heads the Rosenthal Apa Group for Aesthetic Dentistry in New York City. Also, he is the director of the aesthetic hands-on continuum at the Rosenthal Institute at New York University College of Dentistry, which is the nation’s first comprehensive program for training dentists in aesthetic dentistry. Plus, in the 1980s, he developed the Smile Lift procedure.
Rosenthal will be providing copies of the book to all dental school libraries in the United States to help students learn how to enhance smiles, boost their patients’ self-confidence, and expand the opportunities in their lives. Proceeds of its sales will support this effort. The book is available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and openwider.com.
