Gregg Trent DDS
|
My inspiration for becoming a dentist came from a combination of many factors and my desire to work with people making a positive change in their lives. The ability to be creative with my hands coupled with the birth of “cosmetic dentistry” in the early 80’s, put me on a determined path to excellence in Cosmetic and Aesthetic General Dentistry.
Graduating at the top of my Class at Georgetown University School of Dentistry opened many doors for me to continue my education and certification in one of the traditional specialties. I turned down these opportunities as I was intrigued by the emerging art of Cosmetic dentistry. |
| During my final year of education at Georgetown, I was honored and chosen to be one of the first dentists to participate in research and placement of Cosmetic Porcelain Veneers used in cosmetic makeovers.
|
Over the 20 years since then, I have become well studied and experienced in aesthetic materials and procedures as the discipline has grown. I have placed thousands of beautiful porcelain restorations as well as traditional bonded tooth-colored fillings.
In the recent future, advances in Implant Dentistry have made them a very successful and viable alternative to dentures or bridgework. I enjoy working in concert with the best surgeons in the area to restore these implants, so that patients have the most natural replacement for their missing teeth.
Creating or restoring a beautiful smile can certainly improve ones life. Being an expert in the technical and artistic aspects of your procedure is obviously primary to this, but also, I believe the maintenance of that smile through an astute knowledge of general dentistry is paramount. Regular examinations are important in detecting any problems, so they can be resolved in the most conservative manner. |
