After years of destruction, old plastic fillings, and wear from grinding, 4 conservative porcelain veneers were used to replace the missing broken tooth structure and give her a more youthful and healthy appearance

Due to athletic trauma, his front teeth were broken and then repaired with resin fillings which discolored with time,  The resin was removed and replaced with long lasting porcelain veneers.  Porcelain veneers were also placed on his two front side teeth to improve the proportion of his smile.

Porcelain crowns and conservative veneers were used to replace older metal based crowns and defective fillings to brighten and “youthenize” this smile

Time for an upgrade!  This patient had 10 porcelain veneers placed 18 years ago and developed recession and staining. She wanted a brighter, more youthful smile, so 10 new proclaim veneers were placed on her upper teeth and 10 porcelain veneers were placed on her lower teeth to correct years of grinding and establish a more favorable bite relationship as well as brightening her smile

4 Porcelain veneers, combined with laser gum reshaping gave this beautiful young woman a fuller, brighter smile. 

Steve Had discolored teeth and a “cant” in the teeth that compromised the appearance of his smile.  As a professional speaker, an attractive smile was invaluable to him. He also had severe wear from years of grinding that compromised his bite and his health.  He wanted a more natural appearance so a full mouth rehabilitation was required using porcelain veneers and crowns to greatly improve his smile and provide a new, long lasting healthy bite

This patient presented with 20 year old pre-existing veneers and crowns that had decay and staining.  New porcelain crowns were used to give the patient the more natural smile he wanted, yet provide a healthy, stable bite that will last many years and looks great. 

After years of orthodontics, this patient still had an open bite in the front and a very unstable bite relationship resulting in problems with chewing and also sleep apnea.  A full mouth rehabilitation was done using all-ceramic, metal free, conservative veneers and crowns to not only improve her smile, but establish an ideal bite relationship which resulted in improved breathing and reduced snoring

As a successful business man, the stress took its toll on his teeth over the years.  Not only were his teeth sensitive to cold and hot, it was uncomfortable to chew and he hated the appearance of his smile.  A full mouth rehabilitation was done to restore his healthy teeth and provide a beautiful, bite white smile

This patient did not like her spaces between her teeth and discoloration.  We were able to close the spaces and brighten her smile with 6 porcelain veneers.

After trauma to her mouth as a young adult, her front tooth turned dark and became non-vital.
