Boulder cosmetic dentist Dr. Michael Adler is nationally recognized for his work and was recently awarded a fellowship from the Las Vegas Institute of Advanced Dental Studies (LVI). Area residents interested in cosmetic dentistry procedures are encouraged to browse the portfolio of images of real life patients treated by Dr. Adler on the Smile Gallery section of this site and the Adler Cosmetic and Family Dentistry blog. The results are impressive, dramatic in many cases, and it’s also important for prospective patients to know that cosmetic dentistry is much more affordable than in past years.

Cosmetic dental procedures are summarized here in four categories. Categories include 1) veneers, 2) white fillings,

3) restorative dentistry, and 4) smile makeovers.

Veneers
Veneers are super thin, super strong porcelain coverings that are bonded to the front of natural teeth in a way that makes the teeth appear straight and uniform, creating an attractive smile. The skillful use of veneers can be used to change the color of teeth, close gaps between teeth, as well as change the shape, size and alignment of teeth.

Veneers can create dramatic changes in a smile in just two visits. Their ability to quickly create the appearance of teeth straightening has earned them the name “instant orthodontics.” However, there are no braces used.

White Fillings

Most patients are familiar with silver-mercy amalgam fillings as the standard filling material used in many dental practices in the past. Some dentists still use this type of filling. One of the shortcomings of this type of restoration is that metal does not bond well to teeth, and after time can lead to decay. The metal filling itself also presents an obstruction to future diagnosis of decay. And given the objectives of cosmetic dentistry many people just don’t like the look of silver fillings. Adler Cosmetic and Family Dentistry is pleased to offer its patients natural looking white fillings that contain no metals. White fillings actually strengthen patients’ teeth and bond tightly with the healthy part of the tooth helping to prevent future decay.

Restorative Dentistry
Restorative dentistry is typically accomplished with the use of veneers, crowns, fillings and even implants. Thus many types of dentistry can be considered to be restorative as the objective becomes to recreate a healthy and beautiful smile. In modern dentistry restorations aim to look and function like original teeth. Dental restorations from Adler Cosmetic and Family Dentistry look and function just like the originals.

Smile Makeovers
Psychologists used to say that the first feature people looked at was the eyes. Now some say it's the mouth and a person’s smile. Smiles can be seen beyond 300 feet. People 18-49 years old chose “sexy smile most appealing” in the opposite sex (actual survey), and approximately 50% of adults seek improvements in their smile. Modern cosmetic dentistry is giving people what they want, a great smile. And a great smile not only looks good but is a healthy smile too.

About Boulder
Boulder is a Home Rule Municipality that is the county seat and most populous city of Boulder County, Colorado, in the United States. Boulder is the 11th most populous city in the state of Colorado. The United States Census Bureau estimates that in 2005 the population of the city of Boulder was 91,685, while the population of the Boulder Metropolitan Statistical Area was 280,440. Boulder is the home of the main campus of the University of Colorado, the state's largest university, and Naropa University, one of two accredited Buddhist-inspired universities in the United States. Located at the base of the foothills of the Rocky Mountains at an elevation of 5,430 feet (1,655 m), Boulder is 25 miles (40 km) northwest of Denver.

The City of Boulder is in Boulder Valley where the Rocky Mountains meet the Great Plains. Just west of the city are imposing slabs of sedimentary stone tilted up on the foothills, known as the Flatirons. The Flatirons are a widely recognized symbol of Boulder.

The primary water flow through the city is Boulder Creek. The creek was named well ahead of the city's founding, for all of the large granite boulders that have cascaded into the creek over the eons. It is from Boulder Creek that Boulder City and hence Boulder is believed to have taken its name. Boulder Creek has significant water flow, derived primarily from snow melt and minor springs west of the city. The creek is a tributary of the South Platte River.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 25.4 square miles (65.7 km²). 24.4 square miles (63.1 km²) of it is land and 1.0 square miles (2.6 km²) of it (3.94%) is water. The 40th parallel (40 degrees north latitude) runs through Boulder and can be easily recognized as Baseline Road today.

Boulder lies in a wide basin beneath Flagstaff Mountain just a few miles east of the continental divide and about 30 miles northwest of Denver. Arapahoe glacier provides water for the city, along with Boulder Creek, which flows through the center of the city. The climate in Boulder is typically mild with dry, moderate summers and relatively comfortable winters. The city boasts more than 300 sunny or mostly sunny days each year. Nearby mountains shield Boulder from the most severe winter storms. Most precipitation occurs during the winter and spring months, with snowfall averaging 83.1 inches.

Boulder's winters are quite mild, and although large amounts of snow can fall, the effects of orographic lift usually dry out the air passing over the Front Range, shadowing the city from precipitation for much of the season. Temperatures during the winter generally average between 45°F (7°C) to 50°F (10°C) for the daytime highs, and overnight the temperatures plunge to typically settle between 17°F (-8°C) and 23°F (-5°C). These rather cold temperatures that occur overnight are mostly due to Boulder's "High-Desert" climate. Additionally, warm chinook winds occur as air passing over the mountains heats as it descends, in addition to the sunshine, quickly melting snow accumulations and making Boulder's winters relatively mild.

The summer months in Boulder are warm, with daytime highs averaging between 80°F (27°C) and 90°F (32°C), and occasional days reaching 95°F (35°C) not uncommon. Lows in the summer are in the 50°F (10°C) - 60°F (16°C) range; rather cold due to Boulder's altitude and wind patterns.

The all time highest recorded temperature in Boulder of 104°F (40°C) occurred on June 23 and July 11, 1954. The lowest temperature ever recorded in Boulder was -24°F (-31°C), which occurred on February 5, 1989, and December 22, 1990. Boulder information source: Wikipedia.
