Before: Smoking and periodontal disease deteriorated this celebrity’s smile.Her natural teeth and restorations had become stained and discolored. Receding gums had exposed metal margins of old restorations and spaces between her teeth.

After: Her beautiful youthful smile was restored.Our patient provided earlier photographs which were used as a guide. Porcelain crowns filled the spaces between her teeth – eliminating the shadows. And, porcelain margins will never show the dark lines of metal margins.

Before: Inferior dentistry hindered this model’s career. Dull opaque crowns with visible metal margins needed to be replaced. And, more teeth should be crowned to cover the dark tetracycline stained teeth.



After: A full, natural-looking, sparkling smile is ready for the camera. The ten porcelain crowns cannot be distinguished from real teeth..

Before: People often thought he had no upper teeth.His upper teeth did not show when he smiled. Ideal treatment for his under-bite and wear would have included jaw surgeries and years of braces.

After: Personal life changes caused him to seek a more immediate solution.By shortening the lower front teeth and using crowns to lengthen all upper teeth, a dramatic result was achieved. After thoroughly preplanning this case, the actual treatment required only two appointments.

Before: Appearance and function were both important issues.Motivated by cosmetics, this patient also had many functional problems with her teeth. Cavities and failing restorations were present, and a grinding habit had caused her teeth to become worn, chipped and loose.

After: The smile of her dreams.All teeth were restored using metal-ceramic crowns (the strongest ceramic restorations available). Crowns on weak teeth were splinted together to provide stability and support. Porcelain margins avoided metal shadows at the gum lines.

Before: This patient was missing four upper front teeth.Her previously fabricated bridge had poor contours and did not offer good lip support, and her smile-line did not appear natural.
After: Her smile was given new vitality and luminance.A new metal-ceramic bridge was fabricated providing a natural smile line, better contours, and better lip support. All of her other teeth required restorations to correct additional problems.

Before: This patient had bridgework with an unnatural appearance.When viewed from the side, his teeth appeared to be tipped forward. The porcelain was dull, opaque, and lacked vitality.
After: His new bridgework was fabricated with better contours and alignment.The porcelain was made brighter with more character and translucency, just like a beautiful natural smile.

Before: Structure and appearance were both serious issues.This patient was missing two of her upper front teeth. A four unit temporary bridge had been fabricated by another dentist before she transferred to our office. All of her teeth had yellowed.
After: A beautiful and life-like result.All teeth were cleaned and whitened before a metal-ceramic bridge was fabricated. Porcelain margins were used to avoid any shadows at the gum lines.

Before: News flash… Hockey can be bad for your smile.A “high stick” fractured two lower teeth, and the angular fracture of the cuspid extended beneath the gum and bone. Many clinicians would have recommended extraction. But, we chose to save this tooth through a combination of orthodontic, periodontal, and restorative dental treatment.
After: A combination of treatments saved this tooth and restored this smile.Following a root canal, the broken fragment of the original tooth was bonded into place. This allowed the orthodontist to move the tooth upward. Periodontal surgery then evened the gum line. Finally, a crown and veneer restored the original look, feel and function.
