 With
a unique background in art—she earned a bachelor
of fine arts degree from the Parsons School of Design—Dr.
Joan C. Laura takes a new approach to cosmetic dentistry.
Cosmetic dentistry allows her to combine her talents and interests,
bringing them together in a new art form: creating beautiful
smiles for her patients.
“What I like best is seeing those
beautiful smiles because that tells me that along with that
smile, there is a more positive self-image and more self-confidence,”
says Dr. Laura. “People that have never smiled before
because they were embarrassed or ashamed of their teeth leave
my office smiling for the first time in their lives! What
a great feeling for both my patient and myself."
The daughter of a dentist,
Dr. Laura explored a career in the art and fashion industries
before deciding to follow in her father's footsteps. After
spending several years there, she knew she wanted to help
make people feel good about themselves. In the fashion industry,
you deal daily with beautiful, self-confident people . . .
but in dentistry, she could make people feel beautiful and
self-confident for the first time. Soon, she began practicing
by his side. He is now retired, but they practiced together
for several years—and now Dr. Laura offers family dentistry
from a family of dentists!
Everyone is welcome
in Dr. Laura’s office. When an elderly patient
comes in with no teeth, she gives him or her natural-looking
new dentures that fit properly and comfortably. That patient
leaves with beautiful new teeth as well as renewed pride,
dignity, and a positive outlook. Cases such as this are why
Dr. Laura truly enjoys her profession—contributing this
kind of new self-confidence is rewarding not only to her patients,
but to her as well.
Because of the technical
skills and artistry needed to give an exceptional aesthetic
result, many dentists choose not to offer cosmetic dentistry
to their patients. Dr. Laura is the exception. She truly cares
about her patients and will treat just about anyone. She welcomes
challenging cases and encourages those in need of dental work
to visit her promptly. She is committed to high-quality dentistry
and using a gentle touch when treating her patients.
Dr. Laura is a member
of numerous reputable professional organizations, including
the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, American Dental
Association, Dental Society of the State of New York, Fifth
District Dental Society, Onondaga County Dental Society, and
the Corinthian Club.
