Dentists to the entertainment industry’s elite are using the latest technology, including augmented reality, to turn around crowns in under four hours and model cosmetic updates directly on photos of one’s face.
“The industry standard turnaround for a crown has always been two weeks, but this entire process was three and a half hours,” notes Marashi, whose patient roster includes Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Goldie Hawn, Cher, Pink, producer Jennifer Todd and Ben Harper.
Patients now have more control over a smile’s outcome. “There is a new mix of augmented reality and artificial intelligence that works by capturing a scan of the person’s face and allowing us to morph a filter onto it,” explains Dr. Alex Fine, who works in the office of Dr. Marc Lowenberg, where Chris Rock, Julianna Margulies, Kelly Ripa and Liev Schreiber are patients.
Gummy smiles used to require surgical tools and a drill, but the handheld LiteTouch laser, developed in Israel, is now able to remove gum tissue and bone, raising the upper teeth without traditional surgery. “It’s less invasive, less painful and heals more quickly,” reports Fine. The new technologies are particularly useful for productions. Rozenberg tells of a heartthrob British actor who cracked his tooth while on set. “He bit into something, and he wasn’t laughing, but we were able to use the scanner and get him out of the office and back to work with a new tooth in an hour and a half,” she says. “It’s amazing that we don’t even need to take impressions, which is perfect for gaggers. You can even make night guards on the printer.
