Smiles are the universal language!

To quote Napoleon Bonaparte, et al,“A picture is worth a thousand words”. Below are some of our “Before and After” photos of “what we do”.

Tooth Colored Fillings

Bonded (tooth-colored) Filling – Case 1

Silver filling replaced with bonded, tooth-colored filling. Also bonded small beginning cavities on the other teeth, sealing them from further decay in the “pits”. 

Bonded (tooth-colored) Filling – Case 2

Tooth on right…replaced silver filling with bonded filling.

Bonded (tooth-colored) Filling – Case 3

Note decay/broken tooth on the left tooth.  Since the filling required replacement, the patient opted for a bonded, tooth-colored one.  Nice result!

Bonded (tooth-colored) Filling – Case 4

Small decay can be fixed so much more conservatively with bonding, instead of dark, silver fillings.

Bonded (tooth-colored) Filling – Case 5

Large, failing silver filling replaced with tooth-colored, bonded filling.  Great result!

Bonded (tooth-colored) Filling – Case 6

 Before and after. Which filling would YOU rather have?

Bonded (tooth-colored) Filling – Case 7

Shallow but broad decay much more conserevatively remedied with bonded material instead of silver amalgam.

 

Veeners

Porcelain Veneers to Improve Shape and Color of Front Teeth – Case 1

This fellow “in the public eye” had always been unhappy with his discolored teeth, and wanted them WHITE…he was thrilled with this result!

Porcelain Veneers to Improve Shape and Color of Front Teeth – Case 2

This case is more “subtile”. ..This young lady wasn’t happy with her smile, so we placed veneers on the eight front teeth…the result looks natural!

Porcelain Veneers to Improve Shape and Color of Front Teeth – Case 3

One of our favorite former staff members was unhappy with her small lateral incisors(the ones to the left and right of her 2 front teeth).  We placed porcelain veneers on them to “balance” her smile.  They look natural, don’t they?

Porcelain Veneers to Improve Shape and Color of Front Teeth – Case 4

Another case of too small lateral incisors.  Porcelain veneers made a dramatic change!

Porcelain Veneers to Improve Shape and Color of Front Teeth – Case 5

Actually, these are full porcelain crowns on the two front teeth.  They were made to match the color of the natural teeth and really  improve the smile, don’t they? This lady is in her 70’s…It’s really never to late to treat yourself to a great smile!!

Crowns

Crowns – Case 1

This patient wasn’t happy with her crowded, and“spindly” lower 4 front teeth.  All porcelain crowns gave her the  look she was looking for!

Crowns – Case 2

This case is kind of complicated, but porcelain crowns made this lady in her late 20’s smile!  What a confidence booster!

Crowns – Case 3

This man wanted a“Wow” smile, and the lower front teeth were the only things standing in his way.  We did all-porcelain crowns to improve the color, contours, and positions…we even added a tooth(count‘em)!  He was thrilled!

Crowns – Case 4

This attractive lady was not happy with her smile…the chalkiness, the uneven colors, and the bit of overlapping made her self-conscious.  All porcelain crowns on the front four restored the correct color, positions, and made her glad to smile!

Crowns – Case 5

Sometimes a little does a lot!  This great smile improvement for this mid-70’s lady only required 2 porcelain crowns on the two front teeth.

Crowns – Case 6

When the middle tooth had decay around the already large silver filling, we decided that a stronger, more durable and better looking remedy was a porcelain crown.  While we were at it, we replaced the filling on the tooth to the left with a bonded, tooth-colored filling.  How do they look now?

Crowns – Case 7

Lady, mid 70’s…always unhappy with her smile…we lightened, lengthened, and“balanced” her smile….more B&A of her smile coming!

Crowns – Case 8

Patient unhappy with the shape, color, and position of her lower front teeth. Comprehensive treatment planning and porcelain crowns made her smile one to“show off”!

Crowns – Case 9

Picky, but improving on your smile is what we do.  All porcelain crowns made this smile a balanced and even smile..

Crowns – Case 10

Broken and uneven teeth restored to natural and even positions.

Crowns – Case 11

Heavy wear and large, broken-down failing restorations…we prescribed a full-gold crown(Looks didn’t matter on the back one), and 2 porcelain crowns for this middle-age man so that we could achieve  nice esthetics and wear-resistance for these broken-down teeth.

Closing Gaps & Replacing Missing Teeth

Cosmetic Bonding to Close Spaces – Case 1

Sometimes a liitle does a lot!  We bonded the front 2 teeth (without Novocaine) to close the gap.  Looks better, doesn’t it? 

Cosmetic Bonding to Close Spaces – Case 2

With Cosmetic bonding, we closed the space and improved the size and contours of the 2 lateral incisors (the ones just to the left and right of the 2 front teeth).  No grinding of natural tooth structure was needed.  Long-lasting results, too.

Cosmetic Bonding to Close Space Between 2 Front Teeth – Case 3

We had just finished braces for this young teen, but the shapes of her teeth made the result less than it could be.  Using no grinding and just “a little” novocaine, we bonded the four teeth to give this improved and good-looking result.

Cosmetic Bonding to Close Space Between 2 Front Teeth – Case 4

Cosmetic Bonding to close the gap.  No Novocaine needed here. 

Cosmetic Bonding to Close Space Between 2 Front Teeth – Case 5

Bonding to close the gap between the 2 front teeth.  No novocaine! 

Orthodontics/Braces

Orthodontics – Case 1

With full braces, we made room for that tooth on the upper left, as well as straightening the rest, to end up with this nice smile!

Orthodontics – Case 2

Full braces and no extractions.  Next, we will veneer the “splotchy” teeth to make a “Wow” smile!

Orthodontics – Case 3

Orthodontics – Case 4

This patient and his parents were unhappy with what a lot of folks call “buck teeth”.  After Orthodontics at our office, they were pleased with the “New Smile”.  With this kind of result EVERYBODY wins!

Orthodontics – Case 5

Full braces to “unravel” and straighted this middle-aged lady’s teeth, and then “Zoom” whitening gave her the confidence to smile again!

Orthodontics – Case 6

Just a before and after…What an improvement for this young lady!

Orthodontics – Case 7

A side view of the Case 6 orthodontic result..

Make Over

Smile Make Over – Case 1

A new upper denture and Porcelain Crowns on the lower teeth really improved this lady’s smile.  Now she smiles with confidence!

Smile Make Over – Case 2

A complicated case, but this one shows how “if you want it, you can get it”!!  Needless to say, shis lady’s life has changed! 

Smile Make Over – Case 3

This lady simply got tired of having her smile “patched up” over and over again.  Her investment really improved her “face” value!

Smile Make Over – Case 4

Dramatic, huh?  Crowns in the front and a partial denture to replace her back teeth pleased this lady who had obviously “put it off” for years.  Note, too, how the partial denture shows no metal or “wires”.  Ask us about it!

Smile Make Over – Case 5

Porcelain  bridges to permanently replace the missing back teeth and porcelain crowns to lengthen and brighten the front teeth gave thid lady in her 70’s an easier smile!

Smile Make Over – Case 6

Years of wear and erosion were reversed when this lady  decided to treat herself to a smile makeover.   Porcelain crowns gave this  lady  a reason to smile.  Note NO dark line at the gumline!

Smile Make Over – Case 7

Before and after of the right side of  this lady’s smile.  It’s easier to “smile wide” with a result like this.  She was pleased!

Smile Make Over – Case 8

Left side of the case #7.  Ditto!!

Bonding

Cosmetic Contouring and Cosmetic Bonding (No Novocaine, too!) – Case 1

Subtile but dramatic!  A little bonding here and there, a little cosmetic contouring here and there resulted in this “lady-in-the-public-eye”’s GLAM result!  Ask us about doing the same for YOU! 

Cosmetic Contouring and Cosmetic Bonding (No Novocaine, too!) – Case 2

Bonding the 2 lateral incisors (the teeth just to the left and right of the 2 front ones) “balanced” this smile! 

Cosmetic Contouring and Cosmetic Bonding (No Novocaine, too!) – Case 3

These two front teeth were “evened-up” by bonding a little to one and polishing some off of the other one.

Cosmetic Contouring and Cosmetic Bonding (No Novocaine, too!) – Case 4

The “necks” of these teeth had become eroded over time. A 30-minute appointment with minimal or no novocaine gave this gentleman in his 60’s a result that will last for years.

 

Cosmetic Contouring and Cosmetic Bonding (No Novocaine, too!) – Case 5

Bonding the edges of these teeth gave this patient a much better smile, and was accomplished with no novocaine.
