THE MAN BEHIND “THE” PERFECT SMILE
Robert Ibsen, D.D.S., changing the paradigm of dentistry

ROBERT IBSEN, D.D.S., president and founder of DEN-MAT CORPORATION (http://denmatcapital.com/), virtually established the smile makeover business in 1974 when, as a practicing dentist, he became dissatisfied with available cosmetic dental materials.    Since then, he has been revered by his peers for developing products and techniques that have vastly improved cosmetic dentistry procedures like veneers, bonding and tooth bleaching.  His most recent development, painless and permanent LUMINEERS® by CERINATE®(www.lumineers.com), the most minimally invasive veneer option, has helped revolutionize the ease and comfort factor of cosmetic dentistry.

From day one, Dr. Ibsen discovered new ways of practicing and thinking for his colleagues.  With over 150 products and 103 patents, Den-Mat allows the country’s most skilled cosmetic dentists to offer esthetic solutions that meet the needs of every patient.

For example, research-proven, award-winning LUMINEERS creates beautiful smiles without the pain and discomfort of traditional veneers, because the extraordinary process doesn’t require the removal of original tooth structure.  No other veneer is as minimally invasive – not even a post-procedure aspirin is necessary.   Tens of thousands of dentists nationwide are now using LUMINEERS in their practices, with more added everyday, thanks in part to the convenient 1-877-LUMINEERS referral number, which directly connects patients with LUMINEERS dentists in their neighborhood.  1-877-LUMINEERS has mutually benefited both dentists and consumers.

Dr. Ibsen also developed the Sapphire Whitening Light, clinically proven to increase the efficacy of the most popular whitening gels from 3-6 shades.  No other light is research-proven to work effectively with all bleaching agents including: Zoom, Luma Lite, Opalescence and Rembrandt.  Results of these bleaching agents, combined with the Sapphire Whitening Light, are longer lasting than any bleaching without a light. The Sapphire Whitening Light is safer because it emits no harmful UV rays.  Studies also show that it causes no post-procedure sensitivity, offering the most comfortable bleaching experience available today.

“Since 1974, Den-Mat has consistently developed products that allow dentists to preserve, restore, and enhance teeth without the extensive cutting, drilling, and tooth removal that have characterized dentistry in the past,” states Dr. Ibsen.  “I am constantly looking for the best, safest and most convenient solutions.  The future of cosmetic dentistry is tremendously exciting.”

In addition, Dr. Ibsen virtually pioneered the consumer whitening toothpaste category in 1990 with low-abrasion Rembrandt Whitening Toothpaste.  His Rembrandt Oral Care Products, which centered on beauty without sacrificing good, safe oral hygiene, became resoundingly popular among consumers.  The blockbuster success of privately held Rembrandt Oral Care Products led to the brand’s acquisition by Gillette in 2004.

As a graduate of the Southern California College of Optometry and the USC School of Dentistry, Dr. Ibsen is an esteemed lecturer, educator and author.  He has served as Expert Examiner for the California State Board of Dental Examiners and as a Clinical Lecturer at Boston University’s Henry M. Goldman School of Graduate Dentistry.  He is also named as Associate Clinical Professor at the New York University College of Dentistry and is Clinical Instructor at USC’s School of Dentistry.  He is a member of the Pierre Fauchard Academy, Fellow of the International College of Dentists, American College of Dentists, Academy of Operative Dentistry, Academy of General Practice, Academy of Dentistry International, Academy of International Dental Studies, and the American Academy of Dental Materials.

Dr. Ibsen has maintained a general practice in Santa Maria for almost 50 years.
