Esthetic correction of fractured tooth
BEFORE
This patient was referred to us by his orthodontist to complete his esthetic rehabilitation after completion of orthodontics.
AFTER
Two lab made porcelain restorations and 2 bonded composites (white filling material) gave him the smile he had envisioned.
Black Triangle Closure
BEFORE
This patient was self conscious about the appearance of “black triangles” between her lower front teeth.
AFTER
We used bonded composite (white filling material) to fill these areas, while maintaining natural tooth contours and appearance.
Clinical Crown Lengthening
BEFORE
This patient was unhappy with the asymmetry of the gums around her two front teeth.
AFTER
With a conservative surgical approach, we were able to create the gingival symmetry the she was looking for.
Cosmetic Rehab
BEFORE
This patient was disappointed with the appearance of her smile, especially in pictures. She felt that her negative feelings about the appearance of her teeth caused her to suppress positive emotions as she would try to hide her teeth when she smiled.
AFTER
With 8 upper porcelain restorations, we were able to give her a smile she was proud of.
Implant
BEFORE
Our patient lost a tooth when she was a child and had a fixed bridge to replace the missing tooth. Over the years, she had become dissatisfied with the esthetics of her bridge and was interested in using the latest in surgical and material technology to improve her appearance.
AFTER
By placing an implant and properly managing the supporting bone and gum tissue, we were able to give her an implant supported crown that looked completely natural.
Implant supported bridges
BEFORE
This patient was missing many teeth and wasn’t interested in the long-term prospect of a removable partial denture.
AFTER
By using implants to anchor bridges in the upper and lower jaws, we were able to restore his esthetics and function.
Invisalign
BEFORE
Our patient had severely crowded lower front teeth. This was unesthetic and made dental hygiene a significant challenge for him.
AFTER
Using Invisalign, we achieved excellent alignment of the teeth, resulting in better health and esthetics.
No Prep Veneers
BEFORE
Our patient was unhappy with the grayness of her teeth and didn’t like that the color of her teeth didn’t match the color of her bridge.
AFTER
Porcelain veneers were bonded to eight teeth without having to grind on the teeth at all. A new bridge was made to provide color consistency and better esthetics.
Ortho, Porcelain Restorations
BEFORE
This patient came to us with significant jaw pain and a concern about the appearance of her short, worn front teeth. A thorough evaluation revealed that a discrepancy in the way her teeth fit together was the cause of her jaw pain and the excessive wear on her front teeth.
AFTER
Excellent work by an orthodontist corrected the bite and resolved the jaw pain. The orthodontist also did a wonderful job of positioning the front teeth so that we could use porcelain to add back the tooth structure that had been lost to wear. We completed 16 porcelain restorations on this patient after her orthodontic treatment. The result is the spectacular smile you see here.
Esthetic rehabilitation of root canal darkened tooth
BEFORE
This patient was nearing her wedding date and wanted to do something about her discolored front tooth.
AFTER
This is the result we achieved for her with a single porcelain crown.
Replacement of leaking composites with porcelain veneers
BEFORE
Ever since a childhood accident had fractured her two front teeth, our patient had undergone several remakes of bonded composite (white) fillings that inevitably became stained or were chipped. She decided that she wanted a more esthetic, long-term solution.
AFTER
Placing veneers on her front teeth gave her the long lasting, esthetic smile she was looking for.
Cosmetic Rehab
BEFORE
This patient disliked the assymetrical size, shapes and colors of her teeth.
AFTER
Two porcelain crowns and six veneers were placed on the upper teeth and lower teeth were simply whitened, creating a beautiful smile.
Whitening
BEFORE
This patient was unhappy with the dark gray color of his teeth.
AFTER
Using a combination of in-office and take-home custom-tray whitening, we were able to achieve several shades of improvement.
Implant Reconstruction
BEFORE
This patient came to us with a severe breakdown of his dental condition.
AFTER
After straightening his front teeth with orthodontics, implants were used to replace hopeless or missing teeth and porcelain crowns were placed to restore his function and esthetics. The results are transformational.
