Patient Name: Ann
Treatments: Dental Crowns, Orthodontics
Ann was referred to our office to correct the dark front tooth and restore her smile to a better shape. Together, we decided the best long term solution was to orthodontically straighten her teeth, intrude the front four teeth to a better position and then restore only the single front tooth with a porcelain crown. Ann loved the final result and the fact that we avoided over treating her with unnecessary procedures.
Patient Name: Gisselle
Treatments: Cosmetic Bonding, Orthodontics, Porcelain Veneers, Teeth Whitening
Gisselle was referred by an accredited member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. She was also treated with orthodontics. Gisselle was congenitally missing two cuspids, also known as canines. The patient’s alignment and spacing were corrected by tooth movement from the braces. To finish out the case we used teeth whitening, minor bonding and two porcelain veneers to correct the tooth shape changing a biscuspid (premolar) to a cuspid form.

Lee wanted improvement in the shape, color and position of her teeth. She was able to visualize the proposed results through a diagnostic wax up.

Lee is especially happy about not reducing the natural tooth structure.
Patient Name: Mac
Treatments: Complex Reconstruction, Dental Crowns, Orthodontics
Mac came to us by referral for management of extensive teeth grinding and tooth enamel erosion. Upon evaluation, we placed Mac in a Kois deprogrammer to relax his muscles and help find a position to rebuild his mouth.

The final temporary postion and shape were then duplicated to a final restoration.
