PATIENT #1

PATIENT #2

These two post-operative photos show that full dentures or “false teeth” don’t have to look fake. As seen here, the teeth were positioned to fit each patients personality and look natural.

PATIENT #1

PATIENT #2

These two patients show the dramatic changes made with Laser bleaching on their top teeth, which were bleached first to show contrast. Their smiles were dazzling once the bottom teeth were completed.

PROBLEM

SOLUTION

This beautiful young woman had several chipped teeth and multiple discolored fillings, which produced an uneven appearance. The patient unknowingly guarded her smile.

Direct bonding was performed on eight teeth to create a lighter, more pleasantly shaped smile that complimented her lipline and facial contours. She’s really smiling now!

PROBLEM

SOLUTION

This prominent business woman had worn down her upper and lower teeth by grinding them over the years. This produced an “older” looking smile line.

PROBLEM

SOLUTION

This young businessman constantly guarded his smile due to the unsightly spaces between his teeth. He wanted improvement, however, was very adamant about not removing tooth structure.

Since it was so important to proceed conservatively, bonding was done on the top eight and bottom six teeth. This produced a polished and professional look that anyone could be proud of--and he is!

PROBLEM

SOLUTION

This professional model/pageant contestant found that she needed a straighter more glamorous smile to ensure her success. Orthodontics (Braces) were recommended as we always feel conservative treatment should be considered first. Because of her professional commitments and personal desires, she chose against years of braces.

A combination of porcelain veneers and full porcelain crowns were done on the upper ten teeth to straighten them and create a beautiful smile. All this in just two visits! She hasn't stopped smiling yet!

PROBLEM

SOLUTION

This lovely lady had a variety of issues with her smile. Her teeth were a bit short and flared in proportion to her gumline. She had excess gun tissue covering good tooth structure and accentuating a “gummy smile”. She also had dark stains from an antibiotic (tetracycline) taken as a child.

By removing a small amount of excess tissue across her ten upper teeth, we were able to create a more balanced gumline. This extra “upwards” length also allowed us to shape her porcelain veneers in a more proportional manner. The tetracycline stains were masked out evenly with the veneers.

PROBLEM

SOLUTION

This young woman came to us with poorly shaped broken down old bonding, covering this!!....her initial problem. This is probably one of the darkest tetracycline stains we have seen. Obviously, this problem needed to be addressed, but came with definite difficulties!

Since the shade of her natural teeth was so dark, masking them would prove to be tricky.First, the teeth were masked with a resin base.Then, a beautiful translucent veneer was placed over her upper ten teeth. This technique was performed to avoid opaque "chiclet" looking teeth.
