Open Wide(r): A Guide to Smile and Facial Aesthetics to Enhance Your Confidence, Appearance, and Overall Health

You are probably thinking that this is a book about dentistry. You are wrong!

Open Wider is a book about possibilities…

The smile is arguably the most widely studied of facial expressions and the most universal. Dr. Larry Rosenthal, a pioneer in the field of aesthetic dentistry, breaks down the myths, deceptions, and misconceptions about dental care and empowers you to take charge of the smile you’ve always wanted.

First and foremost, dental work is not supposed to be painful. And quality dental work should not have to be expensive.

Open Wide(r) highlights the secrets to a brighter smile, choosing a dentist, the latest in wearable technology, patient etiquette, and even the virtual dentist. But most importantly, Dr. Larry (as his patients call him) educates you on your dental options and transforms how you think about your teeth. So next time your dentist asks you to open wide, you’ll be able to relax.
