We are a comprehensive, family oriented practice with an emphasis on cosmetic dentistry.  Dr. Godino enjoys seeing patients of all ages, having followed many of them from childhood into having children of their own.  He is also highly skilled in most areas of dentistry and continually updates those skills with continuing education courses. 

Cosmetic dentistry, however, is his favorite area of dentistry and he has honed his skills through post-graduate programs such as Esthetic Professionals with Dr. Bruce Crispins and the Las Vegas Institute (LVI), the world’s premiere post-graduate center for cosmetic dentistry.  He also has enhanced his education through the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) which he has been a member of since 1999. 

Dr. Godino is also skilled in the art of neuromuscular dentistry which gives him an enhanced understanding of the balance between systems of the body, particularly between the teeth, TMJ joint and the muscles of the head and neck.  Because of this understanding, he is very successful in treating temporomandibular joint disorders.  All this ensures you of comprehensive diagnosis and care of your dental health. 

Smile Makeover

For most people, an appealing smile is an important part of the overall impression a person makes. An American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) survey found:

• More than 92% of adults agree that an attractive smile is an important asset.
• Nearly as many, close to 88%, say they always remember someone with an especially attractive smile.
• 85% agree that an unattractive smile makes a person less appealing to people of the opposite sex.
• 74% agree that an unattractive smile can hurt a person’s chances for career success.

Many adults want to change their smiles. Some want to correct problems they have had since childhood, such as discolored, gapped, or crooked teeth. Others want to fix conditions they’ve developed over time, like cracked or worn-down teeth, to help create a more youthful smile.
