For this patient a brand new smile replaces worn, discolored and crowded teeth with health, form, function and cosmetics for a smile that should last a lifetime!

 

 




This patient presented with problems including crowded, missing, decayed and broken restorations.  After removal of decay beneath the old “Civil War Technology” silver amalgam fillings, the back teeth were restored with porcelain bonded onlays, crowns and a bridge that replaced the missing tooth.  Veneers and crowns brought the front teeth into alignment and symmetry… instant Orthodontics!

This patient presented with the classic “gummy” smile.  Through a periodontal “gum lift” we were able to reposition the height of her gum tissue to display a very pleasing “golden proportion”.  Additionally, the old opaque porcelain to metal caps on the front teeth demonstrated the dark color typically seen around the gums of teeth with metal margins shining through the gum tissue. What a fabulous transformation!

This seventeen year old girl wore braces for three years.  With less than ideal oral hygiene decalcification of the enamel surface resulted in the orange stain, decay and inflamed tissue.  With porcelain veneers and a lot of coaching in home care, she now has a smile that shines…

 

 

This patient shows the typical yellowish or brownish-grey discoloration caused by the antibiotic “tetracycline.”  During childhood while the teeth were developing, this patient was given multiple courses of the antibiotic which became incorporated in the tooth structure.  These teeth were prepared for porcelain veneers.  We were also able to correct the misalignment of that front tooth!

 

 

This is Darryl.  He is one of our most spectacular transformations.  His before and after photographs will astound you!

This patient presented with large, broken down silver “amalgam” fillings in many of the back teeth.  We like to refer to this material as Civil War technology.  In nearly all cases we find decay and other debris underneath these restorations.  After their removal, the photographs show we have restored these teeth to optimal health and function for the long term.  As an added bonus to the improved health of these teeth, they are cosmetically pleasing as well!


 

This young lady wanted a bright, pleasing, white, perfect smile!  The result was achieved by a complete full mouth reconstruction.  With a combination of porcelain veneers, crowns, and a removable partial denture to replace the missing back teeth her dream was realized!

 

 

This patient has an obvious lone standing porcelain to metal crown on one of the front teeth.  It looks somewhat opaque in color plus the gum tissue around the margin of the restoration looks dark due to the shine through of the metal margin at the gum line.  With a single new all porcelain restoration, this tooth no longer “sticks out like a sore thumb!”

 

 

In this patient’s smile by placing six porcelain veneers her front teeth went from crowded and chipped to perfectly beautiful!

 

This patient presents the typical result of a lifetime of “one tooth at a time” dentistry… silver amalgam fillings, a gold onlay, porcelain fused to metal crowns and a single cap on one of the front teeth that screamed “I’m fake.”  A comprehensive “blueprint” for her mouth yields the results of a well planned optimal reconstruction for health, function and cosmetics.

 

 

In this particular case, the patient had always disliked the space “diastema” between his two front teeth.  In addition, he wanted an improvement in the shade and the symmetry of the teeth.  His teeth were restored with bonded porcelain veneers, the space was closed and the ideal “golden proportions” were established to achieve this fabulous cosmetic result.

 

 

In this patient the missing teeth were replaced with single implants.  The lower front teeth were wearing down on their edges as well as having spaces between them.  All the spaces were able to be closed and the teeth built back in size to their proper form for long term health.  The old chipped porcelain fused to metal crown, and the two cast gold restorations were replaced with bonded porcelain restorations.  The result….. Beautiful.
