This patient presented with misaligned and sharp pointed teeth. Through Invisalign orthodontic treatment (no braces) we were able to straighten her teeth. We also bonded some composite tooth colored material to round out her sharp teeth. We were both very satisfied with the final result.

This patient presented at my office with yellow, worn-down, chipped and missing teeth. With crowns we were able to open her bite and improve the color and aesthetics of her teeth. Using dental implants we replaced her bridges and dentures with implant teeth. The patient was happy beyond words. Changes like this mean changes in the quality of life for those who need it.

In this case the patient had worn down his front teeth to the point of being so thin that they were chipping. He was uncomfortable with the appearance and did not want his teeth to continue to get worse. With ceramic crowns, we were able to change the look of old, worn-out yellow teeth to youthful, white handsome teeth. In the end, the patient was very pleased with the result and glad he had made the change.

This patient had severely worn her lower teeth. As a result her jaw was over closed and she was suffering from head aches and jaw pain. By crowning all her lower teeth we were able to open her bite, create longer more aesthetic teeth, change the color, and protect her teeth from future wear. A few weeks after the case was completed I asked the patient if she had noticed any change in the frequency of her head aches. After a thoughtful pause and a smile she told me she had not noticed any head aches recently. I can not promise changing your bite will get rid of head aches, but it did for this patient.

This patient suffered from overlapped, broken, worn, yellow teeth. He was only concerned with the front four teeth. Using crowns we were able to give him straight, beautiful teeth in two weeks. We also re-contoured the gum line for better esthetics. Of course we could have made them more white, but we wanted the teeth to look natural and match the other teeth. Best of all, his grandchildren no longer ask him, “why do your teeth look funny?”

This patient went to Mexico to have all her teeth crowned. She saved some money, but was dissatisfied with the chalky opaque whiteness, bulky feel, and visible metal at the gum line. With porcelain crowns we were able to improve her smile on all counts.

This patient lost his front teeth years ago. He had lived with a removable appliance all these years. I was able to place three dental implants and restore them with three beautiful, functional teeth.

This patient was involved in an auto accident. Multiple crowns were broken/chipped. His lower front lateral incisors broke off. His two lower dental implants survived though the crowns were shattered. With two extractions, one new dental implant, and several new crowns we were able to restore this patient’s smile and function.
