Before & After ~ Gum Contouring & Dental Crown

These photographs have not been retouched.

The initial photograph was taken just a month before the patients wedding was scheduled. Her orthodontist had just removed her braces and left the spaces, tipped teeth, and lateral incisors that were too short. The gums were not in the correct position resulting in a gummy smile.

We bleached the teeth, reshaped the gums with a diode laser, and placed four porcelain veneers. Now the patient has a great adult smile!

The bride had a beautiful smile in her wedding photographs.

There was only three weeks in between these photos.

This patient was trying to catch a well hit ball to left field. He turned just in time to hit the outfield fence. One tooth fractured the corner off. Another tooth broke through at the level of the nerve.

The patient ran through the warning track and hit the out field fence, breaking his front tooth.

Treatment was completed over 3 weeks. A root canal, post & core, and four veneers were placed.

The patient has a great smile with new veneers.

Before & After ~ Gum Contouring & Dental Crown

These photographs have not been retouched.

This patient had a crown placed that was too opaque, too white, and not a good shape. The tissue covered too much of the crown.

Treatment was preformed in one visit. Reshape the tissue with a diode laser. Remove the old crown, removed a metal post, replaced the post with a white fiber post, construct a new all porcelain crown made with CEREC, stain & glaze the crown. Finally, Cement the crown with an aesthetic bonding system.

The patient was very pleased with the outcome!

      These photographs have not been retouched.

      Example #1: Invisalign

      These twisted, uneven teeth were crowded into a too-narrow arch.

      Invisalign was chosen to correct the patient’s bite, straighten the rotated teeth, and widen the arch. The treatment lasted approximately eleven months.

      Before & After Photographs – VENEERS

      The following pages exhibit Before & After photographs from completed cases.

          These photographs have not been retouched.

          Example #1: Veneers

          A pool-side accident completely fractured this patient’s two front teeth and damaged the adjacent teeth.

          After bleaching this patient’s upper and lower teeth, four were recreated using all-porcelain. Special care was given to match the veneers to the patient’s natural teeth.

          Slight irregularities at the edge of each tooth create natural-looking veneers.
