Bite correction is key to having the best shape to your face. It’s all about your bite, not your smile. Aging faces have bad bites and worn down bites while young patients have under bites and overbites. You cannot reverse aging faces with porcelain veneers. This website is about high tech dentistry’s answer to premature aging, small chins (Overbites), unacceptable facial profiles, TMJ problems and large chins (Under bites).
Overbite Correction, Under Bite Correction and Anti-Aging Dentistry
Non-Invasive, Non-Surgical Face Lift Dentistry®
VENLAY® restorations are the innovative high tech non-surgical alternative treatment to jaw surgery with the greatest technological breakthrough to treat bad bites . Patients that were told by multiple dentists and dental specialists that the only treatment is jaw surgery and braces now have a choice that is safer, more predictable and has been proven for over a 10 year period.
No Grinding Down of Tooth Structure
You no longer need to have your teeth ground down, and you no longer need clear retainers, braces, or jaw surgery to correct your bite. Small chins look larger with overbite correction. Large chins look smaller with underbite correction, and it can all be done in just a couple of weeks (it takes one to three weeks to make the porcelain). This high tech anti-aging dentistry method is safe, easy and actually good for your health. The results on this website are not “too good to be true”. The results on this site are real patients of Dr. Sam Muslin whose photos and videos are untouched and unaltered.
What is High-Tech Cosmetic Dentistry?
High-tech cosmetic dentistry is a hot topic. Just ask your favorite online search engine. Millions of people are looking into the latest cosmetic dentistry trends. Advanced cosmetic dentistry focuses on how to transform a damaged or less than spectacular smile into something to be proud of – maybe even show off a little bit on social media.
Cosmetic dentistry is only a partial type of procedure that improves only your smile. It can actually be harmful to your health when the dentist grinds down your teeth for porcelain veneers or porcelain crowns. Cosmetic dentistry costs less because it has far fewer benefits than Face Lift Dentistry®.
Health, Dental Face-Lift® and Smile
“But, you will never look your best, feel your best, or achieve maximum health unless your jaw position and bite are idealized,” says Santa Monica’s Dr. Sam Muslin, DDS, who champions Face Lift Dentistry®, an exclusive, non-invasive no-grind brand of dentistry that revolves around patients’ best long-term interests. Most cosmetic dentistry is all about the smile, Facelift Dentistry improves your health, your profile, your jaw line and the shape of your face. His success, evident in all the real-patient case studies featured on this website, draws local patients from Los Angeles, Santa Monica and Beverly Hills, as well as patients readily flying in from across the USA, Europe, and Australia.
Dr. Muslin strives for more than just a pretty smile. He uses three-dimensional technology to decide the optimal lower-jaw position and aesthetic face shape. He treats decay and gum inflammation to improve oral and systemic health. Then, he customizes dental treatment using a new high-tech bonding method called VENLAY® Restoration to improve jaw mechanics to reduce wrinkles and stress around the mouth, restore face length and set the chin in its most flattering and natural position.
In Face-lift Dentistry®, old fillings, mismatched veneers and crowns are replaced, using the best material – not the cheapest. Teeth are lengthened, widened and modified to optimize the shape of the lips, chewing surface, speech clarity, breathing, and profile. But, there is NEVER grinding of teeth!

Cosmetic Dentistry vs. Restorative Dentistry
Face-lift Dentistry® is not associated with plastic surgery. It involves no injections or grinding of healthy tooth tissue. Its anti-aging component is based on restoring each patient’s smile, profile and facial proportions to a younger version of themselves – with modifications to remedy overbites, underbites, open bites, cross bites, grinding while sleeping, or pain and tension related to the jaw joint.
Often the neighborhood cosmetic dentist office is little more than a fast-track smile factory. Bigger. Brighter. Pretty. …Crank them out!
Restorative dentistry involves replacing or repairing missing teeth or teeth threatened or damaged by cracks, chips and infection. Restorative dentists also focus on pain relief for nerve and TMJ problems. Unless these restoration dentists get to the underlying cause of tooth loss, damage and pain, the results will be less than optimal.
Dr. Muslin wants the very best for his patients! He takes a full health history and assesses wrinkles, profile, face shape and bite mechanics. He looks for damaged teeth and irregular chewing. Worn and missing teeth compromise jaw position, facial support and bite. Every facet of the mouth and face are taken into account, and then he uses every skill and treatment necessary to bring about the most flattering, youthful and functional smile.
Just take a look at the before and after photos and video testimonials of patients, whose lives were changed forever by Dr. Muslin’s technique and artistry.

Teeth Whitening
No one wants a dingy smile. Sometimes teeth lack opalescence or have been stained by a venti-sized coffee and tea habit. Genetics may play a role, or medication can stain tooth color. Over-the-counter whitening strips or teeth bleaching kits may be all you need. Others soon realize professional teeth whitening is what they need. Dr. Muslin can set you straight about the pros and cons of zoom whitening, power swabs, KöR Whitening system’s hydremide peroxide formulation or other teeth whitener options.
Composite Bonding
Dr. Muslin uses the best dental bonding materials to suit each patient. He will explain the difference between tooth bonding and veneers and why composite fillings are less controversial than dark amalgam filling materials and when an outlay, crown or implant would serve the patient better. For broken or chipped teeth, dental bonding can improve your smile in as little as 45 minutes, all without drilling or shots. For dental bonding in Los Angeles, Beverly Hills or Santa Monica, Dr. Sam Muslin should be your dentist of choice.
Composite Bonding

Porcelain Veneers
Instant no-prep or minimal-prep veneers are ideal for enhancing teeth stained by tetracycline. Prepless porcelain veneers might be all you need to mask tooth etching from too much time in a heavily chlorinated pool or from swallowing too much fluoride toothpaste as a kid. Dr. Muslin can do a wide range of applications, but specializes in non-invasive, anti-aging VENLAY restorations. These are super-thin, specially bonded veneers that require no grinding of enamel. No nubs. No points. No pain. No fear. Nothing but awesome. Talk to him about why his approach is different!
Crowns
Do you have black gum lines or need a root canal? Are your old teeth caps discolored? Do you still have a temporary crown that you never replaced? What’s the difference between zirconia crowns and porcelain crowns? Dr. Muslin will answer all your questions about capped teeth and the best high-tech dentistry options available on the market.
Crown Lengthening
Let’s face it. Not everyone is born with a Hollywood smile. Maybe your teeth are in good health, but all your selfies seem to underscore a gummy smile. Should you undergo oral surgery to fix this? Perhaps you had a pair of temporary crowns put in by your last dentist and weren’t told cutting gums was part of the procedure. It hurt like heck! Now you’re afraid to go back to get them replaced – let alone discuss the benefits of crown lengthening. Or maybe your gums bleed. Does this mean you’ll have to visit a periodontist? Dr. Muslin is easy to talk to. He’ll give you the information you need to make an informed decision. He hates invasive medical procedures if they can be avoided. If you ever wanted a dentistry advocate, he’s your man.
Dental Bridges
Patients’ needs vary greatly. Some will require tooth extraction and extensive gum work. Others may need bone grafting to prepare for implants to replace missing teeth. For those hesitant about undergoing implant surgery, Dr. Muslin provides traditional bridge work, as well as cantilever bridges, bonded bridges and Maryland bridges – all part of his high-tech dentistry arsenal and high-precision dental bonding technique.
Dental Implants
In the past, patients who suffered tooth loss from an accident or through disease had to endure the loss or adapt to wearing an artificial tooth or dentures. Medical advances have made osseointegration possible, where the jaw is strengthened through bone grafts, allowing for dental implant surgery. Periodontists can treat periodontal diseases with gum surgery, a course of antibiotics and even gum grafts. Once the mouth is healthy and the tooth implant post is healed, permanent tooth placement can be made – a real back-to-the-future mashup.
Inlays and Onlays
Dr. Muslin is like a master sculptor – able to assess his patients’ teeth and facial features and then execute an artistic modification that is aesthetically pleasing as well as mechanically sound. A sophisticated office equipped with the latest in high-tech tools fast tracks treatment. Staff members are trained to protect the comfort and privacy of each patient, making each office visit as stress-free as possible.
Dr. Muslin uses a high level of precision to provide inlays and onlays that will blend seamlessly with the rest of the mouth. An “onlay” is a bigger version of a porcelain or reinforced resin inlay filling. Crowns – or caps – are used if decay or tooth damage is more extensive.
In Face Lift Dentistry®, Dr. Muslin replaces old fillings with natural, tooth-colored composite fillings. Gold fillings are long lasting, but are more noticeable than the newer biocompatible materials that Dr. Muslin uses to replace loose amalgam and mismatched dentistry. Dr. Muslin’s specially bonded VENLAY® veneers correct misaligned and unsightly teeth and maximize the potential of each patient’s profile and face shape.
Tooth–Colored Fillings
When it is best for the patient’s long-term wellbeing and dental health, Dr. Muslin recommends safely replacing dark metallic amalgam fillings with tooth-hued composite fillings.
Gum Recession
Gum loss affects the aesthetics of one’s smile. Better oral hygiene practices may turn around receding gums in early-stage periodontal disease. Gum surgery, antibiotics, antibacterial mouth rinses and pinhole surgery may improve gum health, including “black triangle recession,” gap-toothed diastema, and pronounced gingival papilla – the triangular pad of tissue between two adjacent teeth. Pronounced gingival papilla can be corrected with braces, tissue trimming or with dental bonding.
Tooth Contouring and Reshaping
This is where Dr. Muslin shines: teeth reshaping, cosmetic contouring, orthodontics, and fixing the appearance of poorly positioned or misaligned teeth. His patent-pending VENLAY® Veneer Bonding Method shines in these case studies.
Full Mouth Reconstruction
Dr. Muslin, a full mouth restoration expert, combines cosmetic and restorative treatments to handle periodontal issues, TMJ problems, and issues related to missing, damaged and crooked teeth.
Exclusive Face Lift Dentistry® vs. Cosmetic and Restorative Dentistry
Dr. Sam Muslin ushered in the New Age of Dentistry when he developed his exclusive Face Lift Dentistry® method. While the average consumer might mistakenly categorize Dr. Muslin with other cosmetic dentists or dentists who offer smile makeovers, he is in a league of his own.
Many dentists offer teeth whitening or apply veneers to cover misaligned teeth. If necessary, they grind down teeth and apply pretty new crowns. They call it a “smile makeover” and hand patients their bills. However, that dental bling is often little more than cosmetic patchwork at the expense of your wallet, enamel and peace of mind. Deeper issues such as TMJ pain, poor bite mechanics, and premature aging may be overlooked because the parties involved have bright-smile tunnel vision.
If you come across a dentist who wants to grind your healthy tooth enamel, forget the subtle exit strategy. Say “Bye, Felicia” and get the heck out of there! (You would be surprised by how many of Dr. Muslin’s patients have had run-ins with dentists who grind off perfectly good tooth material!)
Dr. Muslin’s Face Lift Dentistry® and VENLAY® Restoration methods not only address underlying problems but rejuvenate the face by maximizing the bite, repositioning the jaw, optimizing chin position and face length and adjusting the size, length, color and health of each individual tooth and the surrounding gum tissue.
Not only do VENLAY®-restored smiles look spectacular, but the mouth and profile of each patient are optimized to look their best from all angles – no matter the mood. No one smiles all day long, people! But most importantly, long-term health is improved.
Treatment Options with the Face Lift Dentistry® Method
When you sign on as a patient with dental pioneer Dr. Sam Muslin, you get more than just cookie cutter treatment. Every patient is considered unique. Each patient’s treatment is customized – whether you just want regular cleanings or you are seeking relief for jaw pain and headaches or treatment for tooth loss and premature aging. Dr. Muslin’s Face Lift Dentistry® method addresses every facet of oral health, supplying remedies for the most bothersome problems.
Bite Correction
Dr. Muslin’s Face Lift Dentistry® Method treats underbites, overbites, cross bites, open bites, buck teeth and tooth correction. His methods are non-invasive and provide fast pain relief and lasting cosmetic results, as well as health benefits. Face Lift Dentistry® is non-invasive and requires no braces or surgery.
TMJ Treatment
Nagging jaw pain can derail a happy life. Jaw popping, shooting pain in the ears, migraines and tension in the neck and upper back can make it difficult to eat, sleep or function in the workplace. Taking over-the-counter or prescription pain medicine is a temporary relief at best and a health threat in the worst-case scenario. Opiate addiction is pandemic in the United States. Long-term relief requires a neuromuscular approach. Dr. Muslin looks at tooth structure, muscular tension in the jaw, bite mechanics and the patient’s history and pain cycle. Taking a holistic approach reaps better results and long-term health benefits.
Ant-Aging Dentistry
Seventy-six million people were born between 1946 and 1964. These Baby Boomers aren’t getting any younger. That doesn’t stop them from wanting to look youthful as they lead full lives, though. With long life expectancy come health challenges and worn teeth. Dr. Muslin offers dental remedies that enhance wellbeing and looks well into the Golden Years.
“By educating consumers, I give them options. They don’t have to go to a plastic surgeon to restore their looks. There is a better way – one with lasting cosmetic and health results. Anti-aging Facelift Dentistry addresses both cause and effect of the aging face. They get better dental function, and I think most patients appreciate the return on investment.”
Facial Profile Correction
Whether you are 70 or 17, self-satisfaction with one’s looks is a vital part of self-confidence and social interaction. If you hate your profile, it affects you. If you have an underbite, it can cause jaw pain and painful social interactions if chewing, speaking and smiling are unorthodox.
Just ask any teenager with an abnormal occlusion. They don’t like eating in front of other people. As people grow older, their teeth wear down. A mild overbite may become more pronounced, causing a receding chin and a collapsed profile. Goodbye confidence. Fortunately, Dr. Muslin gets that. He treats the whole person – mind and body – with Face Lift Dentistry® and has the raving fans to prove it! Best of all, he knows how to fix an underbite in as little as 2 weeks without the agony of surgery or braces.
