How we research, write, and review
New Smile Guide is the plain-language, education-first arm of dental implant care. Because this is health information, we hold it to a clear standard. Here is exactly how our content is made.
Education first, never a sales pitch
We exist to help you arrive at your consultation prepared, not persuaded. Our guides never use scare tactics, never push a specific clinic, and never earn a commission on your treatment. When we mention our free courses or provider matching, we say so plainly.
Written for patients, sourced from clinicians
Every article starts from established clinical references — organizations like the American Academy of Implant Dentistry and Cleveland Clinic, peer-reviewed research, and implant-dentistry treatment guides. We then translate that knowledge into plain language, keeping the depth and losing the jargon.
Reviewed by a practicing implant dentist
Our guides are medically reviewed by Dr. Greg Pedro, DMD — a Staten Island dentist and graduate of Temple University School of Dentistry who focuses on dental implants (including Yomi robot-guided implant surgery), prosthodontics, and TMJ care at About Face Dental & Aesthetic Boutique. Every article carries a "medically reviewed by" line and a last-reviewed date, and is checked for factual accuracy and for anything that could mislead a patient before it is published.
Cited, so you can check us
Where a claim matters — success rates, healing timelines, costs, risks — we link the sources we relied on so you can read further and verify for yourself.
Kept current
Implant dentistry changes. When guidance, materials, or evidence shift, we update the article and move its review date forward rather than leaving stale information in place.
Not a substitute for your dentist
Everything here is general education. Your mouth, your health history, and your goals are unique — always talk to a licensed dentist or oral surgeon before making a treatment decision.
