Not everyone can say they know what they want out of life. Luckily, Dr. Louis D’Angelo always knew he wanted his dental practices, which span both New Jersey and Pennsylvania, to be synonymous with astounding, lasting dentistry. Even easier was the fact that he knew exactly how to achieve this. After nearly 25 years in the tooth business, the highly regarded dentist figured out an error proof formula which ensures clients at any of the Simply Beautiful Smiles office get precisely what they want—a perfect smile.

When said out loud, the six points Dr. D’Angelo illustrates as the commandments, which each of his dental offices follow, are quite obvious and surprisingly simple. The ability to consistently commit and uphold these for each person that sits in the chair is what Dr. D’Angelo calls, “creating the ultimate experience and then constantly surpassing the expectations of the clients.”

Step one, as Dr. D’Angelo noted, is everyone’s desire for a beautiful smile. A palpable observation, that certainly rings true for most. Second, is dentistry that lasts. “We only get two sets of teeth, once they go away, they are not coming back,” expressed Dr. D’Angelo. That is why it is most vital to find an experienced dentist for complicated work such as implants, veneers and dentures. At Simply Beautiful Smiles, these major procedures are performed routinely and the practice utilizes the latest equipment such as digital X rays (which highly reduces radiation,) lasers (these allow patients to avoid being numbed for certain tasks,) and CAT scans (that showcase a client’s mouth three dimensionally.)

All Beautiful Smiles practices are also committed to a pain free environment, which is the third step in Dr. D’Angelo’s formula. The fourth is to minimize fear of the dentist. For this, the office employs relaxation dentistry, or sedation. For mild dental phobias Simply Beautiful Smiles uses nitrogen/oxide. “It is basically breathing sweet air and sort of disassociating the client from the experience, although they are awake,” explained Dr. D’Angelo. For those with a moderate fear of the dentist’s chair, the office combines a few sedatives, employing nitrogen/oxide and tablets.

The next significant aim on Dr. D’Angelo’s patient friendly operational model is minimizing the number of appointments for his clients. “It’s a known fact, only 50 percent of the time a patient makes it to a referral,” said Dr. D’Angelo. To avoid this, Simply Beautiful Smiles incorporates specialists for each of their locations, thus, Dr. D’Angelo and his chosen team of practitioners have the expertise and the tools to perform any dental work with fewer visits, at the same office the patient first visited. At each location a client can expect to receive bonding, get veneers, crowns, Invisalign, implants, Lumineers, cosmetic gum re-contouring, jaw repositioning, tooth whitening as well as receive preventative dentistry, oral surgery and root canal therapy. “There is better compliance and the patient is more comfortable,” explained Dr. D’Angelo.

Last but not least, Dr. D’Angelo and his team believe that dentistry should be affordable. “Tooth care should not be a luxury,” said Dr. D’Angelo. “If you do it right and take the time to maintain the work, it will last you and would not have to be replaced in a few short years,” elaborated Dr. D’Angelo.

Turns out, by combining experienced dentists, implementing premium care and obtaining specialists within each location, Simply Beautiful Smiles has become the exact model Dr. D’Angelo had always known he wanted.
