“Everyone wants to look good,” says world-renowned, restorative and reconstructive celebrity dentist,Dr. Eric Fugier. “It’s all about natural beauty, excellence in dentistry, and artistry. Designing a smile is like designing clothes. You have to look at the face and the whole person.” And he really does treat the “whole person,” having received honors in Energy Medicine as a Dr. of Naturopathic Healing, and awarded “The Best Dentist in America” by his fellow dentists.
First practiced in Monte Carlo, then post graduated in the States, Fugier
also worked with Dr. Charlie Pincus, celebrity dentist for Judy Garland, Shirley Temple, and Elizabeth Taylor. Not to brag about Fugier’s achievements, but he did learn from the Galileo of teeth – as Pincus is also the inventor of the Porcelain Veneer. Fugier’s own clientele includes movie and music icons and dignitaries from around the world. The demand for elective dental work has grown considerably in recent years.
However, with the over-commercialized cosmetic dentistry, some dentists are offering services they don’t know how to perform properly. “There are so many botched jobs. People do not understand that good dentistry requires the
right technique along with experience and artistic ability.” Dr. Fugier frequently receives cases where another dentist changed the spacing or height of the teeth, creating pain and problems that hadn’t existed before, such as TMJ. “The general public is being sold cosmetic dentistry as if it were some easy, fun procedure. If it is not done right, you will have permanent damage. It’s important for people to find someone really qualified, so they don’t have to go through a nightmare.” One patient who found Dr. Fugier after suffering through horrible pain, waking up with teeth she never wanted, looking and feeling horrified, says: “You must work with someone knowledgeable. I found in Fugier a doctor who is esthetically fantastic, structurally and physically meticulous.” Although we are ready to “suffer for beauty” – as the saying goes, – doing some home work before invasive undertakings is a must in order to avoid a traumatic beautification.
