Before:
Diagnosis:
- This molar was cracked and needed a crown to cover it and hold it together. Notice the conservative preparation.
After:
Treatment:
- Can modern dentistry mimic nature? Which tooth has the crown? Can you tell where the crown stops and the tooth starts?
Before:
Diagnosis:
- This patient’s upper right canine is replacing her missing lateral incisor.
- We have already whitened her teeth from the color of her existing crown that, of course, did not whiten.
- Her midline angles to her left.
- The left lateral incisor is disproportionately smaller than the other teeth.
After:
Treatment:
- We replaced the crown, bonded the right canine to appear as a lateral incisor, bonded the first bicuspid to appear as a canine, and bonded the left lateral to enhance its size.
- We also bonded the left front tooth to correct the midline angulation.
Before:
Diagnosis:
- Worn teeth
- Gap between front teeth
- Yellow discoloration
After:
Treatment:
- Whitened teeth
- Direct bonded tooth-colored filling material to lengthen teeth and fill in gaps
Before:
Diagnosis:

Treatment:
Before:
Diagnosis:
- These are severely stained teeth that did not respond to whitening efforts in other offices.
After:
Treatment:
- We performed what I call “Deep Bleaching.” It involved an in-office session, two weeks of at-home tray usage, and another in-office session. The patient experienced no sensitivity during the treatment. He is a very happy and grateful patient!
Before:
Diagnosis:
- This lady was missing a lower right bicuspid and three molars. Two implants were placed (by the oral surgeon) and I restored the implants with a fixed bridge.
After:
Treatment:
- Implant supported fixed bridge
Before:

Diagnosis:
- This patient is missing four lower incisors.
