More about the SmileStylists
At Olitsky Smiles, the doctors only see one patient at a time while performing a smile makeover. "We feel like cosmetics should not be done in a busy, or rushed environment," insists Dr. Colleen. "This is plastic surgery for smiles, not general dentistry." Actually, you get the unique experience of having two doctors working on your new smile; Dr. Colleen assists her husband on every smile makeover procedure. "We love working together, and we feel like we make a great team. I have been through all same cosmetic training as Jason, plus he did my twenty veneers. Our guests tell me all the time how comforting it is to have me there before, during and after the procedure because I've been through it on both sides and they like being able to see a live model for the veneers," says Dr. Colleen.
Drs. Colleen and Jason's mission is to raise both the level of education and skill of other cosmetic dentists, as well raise the level of awareness and expectations of cosmetic patients. Dr. Jason is a national lecturer on cosmetic dentistry and is an instructor with The Hornbrook Group, a Chicago based live patient course that focuses on teaching contemporary smile makeover techniques to dentists from around the world. Drs. Colleen and Jason have been featured in a two page spread in the prestigious Dental Economics, highlighting the early successes of their cosmetic smile studio. All this accomplished by the age of 32. "Remember that experience doing smiles and years practicing general dentistry are not the same thing." Says Dr. Jason, "And if a dentist recommends Lumineers or a smile makeover in one day, make sure you get a second opinion from a cosmetic dentist for alternative treatments, or decide if you can live with some aesthetic compromises."
Dr. Colleen encourages patients to do their research when considering a smile makeover. "We have both seen and heard many regrets and horror stories about patients unhappy with their new smiles and they wished they hadn't rushed into it or that they would've asked more questions and that kills me because having a smile you love to flash all day long is such a wonderful gift." She has authored a tip sheet that you can use as a guide when searching for your smile makeover dentist. Please, call 1.888.OLITSKY for a complimentary copy or go to www.OlitskySmiles.com.
