The tooth was beyond saving. Inflammation from the fractured root and failing root canal are evident in this before photo. Cavities were present on the adjacent teeth.

Before: This patient’s front tooth required extraction.
After: An immediate implant was the best solution.At the time of extraction, an implant, abutment, and temporary crown were placed. After healing, a zirconium abutment was made for the implant, and porcelain crowns were placed. Our patient was thrilled with the natural appearance and the convenience of immediate implant placement.
Implants (1 of 8) -
Before: This patient needed extensive dental treatment to restore the teeth of her lower jaw.
Abutments: Gold abutments were made to fit the implants and support the overlying crowns.
X-ray: Her lower left molar could not support a bridge. Two implants replaced her missing teeth.
Crowns: Crowns were cemented on all teeth and implants resulting in a beautiful reconstruction.
Implants (2 of 8) -
Before: Several issues required immediate attention.Problems included periodontal disease, some hopeless teeth, cavities, failing restorations and cosmetic concerns. An insufficient bony foundation made bone grafts necessary to support implants.
After: A brighter and straighter smile restored both beauty and confidence.Periodontal surgery, extractions, bone grafting and implant placement surgeries were completed. Then, custom abutments were attached to each implant. Lastly, porcelain crowns were made and cemented to all teeth and implants.
Implants (3 of 8) -
Before: This patient lost his tooth in an unfortunate industrial accident.The implant was placed by another clinician before referral to our office for fabrication and placement of the abutment and crown.
After: He was absolutely thrilled with this gorgeous result.A custom fabricated zirconium abutment was attached to the implant using a gold screw (see x-ray). Porcelain restorations (crown and veneer) were then cemented to the implant abutment and the adjacent natural tooth.
Implants (4 of 8) -
Before: This patient had multiple problems with her teeth.Cosmetic concerns, missing teeth and many failing restorations were her primary issues. In addition, a severe grinding habit had resulted in heavy wear and loose teeth. In a collaborative effort, she received orthodontic, periodontal, and implant treatment before referral to our office for restorations.
After: A stable and functional result with the appearance and feel of natural teeth.Metal-ceramic crowns were fabricated and permanently cemented on all teeth and implants. Some crowns were splinted together to provide additional support for her weak and mobile teeth.
Implants (5 of 8) -
Before: This case addressed multiple major dental health issues.At this stage of treatment, this patient had already received periodontal surgery and three dental implants. A host of serious problems remained, including cavities, failing restorations, and crowding.
After: : Crowded teeth were straightened using restorations, a procedure sometimes called “instant orthodontics”.Abutments were attached to implants. Then, porcelain crowns were fabricated and cemented onto all implant abutments and teeth. This beautiful functional reconstruction looks and feels just like attractive natural teeth.
Implants (6 of 8) -
Before: This patient had several serious problems.Her issues included cavities, heavy wear of her front teeth, cracked teeth, and failing restorations. Inadequate bone support required bone grafts prior to placement of two implants.
After: Implant abutments and porcelain crowns completed this reconstruction.These methods and materials are far superior to treating with partial dentures and silver/mercury fillings. She not only has a natural looking and feeling restoration, but her result is exceptionally strong and durable.
Implants (7 of 8) -
Before: This patient was missing her upper central incisor.Because the bone was exceedingly thin at the extraction site, this patient would typically be unable to receive a successful implant without prior bone grafting surgery. This is commonly a separate procedure requiring months to heal before an implant can be placed.
After: An implant restoration provided a comfortable and natural appearing result.Implant placement and bone grafting were both completed in the same appointment. This patient was thrilled with the shortened protocol. After healing, an abutment and crown were made and attached to the implant.
