Rido D

What an incredible smile transformation. I really love how this is life-changing.

My patient Rido had not been to the dentist in 25 years and smokes 1 pack a day. He said his wife hadn’t kissed him in over 25 years because of his teeth. He had fears about going to the dentist ever since he had a bad experience as a kid. His wife is a patient of mine and she was the one who encouraged him to come in and see me.

I was able to effectively communicate with him and earn his trust in me. I walked him through the treatment plan and explained to him step by step what I needed to do to restore his dental health.

I did a full mouth reconstruction on him. Amazingly enough, I was able to restore all his upper teeth with porcelain crowns without having to do any root canals or extractions in the upper teeth. When he came back for a check-up, he told me that he quit smoking, had started eating better and exercising, and had lost some weight. The smile makeover gave him a huge boost of confidence and now he has a much brighter outlook on life.

He told me that he can’t believe all the compliments he has been receiving daily. He thought this would never happen to him and how a healthy and gorgeous smile can make a difference. He is enjoying his life more now and his wife had started kissing him again. He expressed so much gratitude to me for what I did for him.

It’s really wonderful to witness such a dramatic life transformation in a person. I’m grateful when I have an opportunity like this where I get to change people’s lives.

Patricia C

This is my patient Patricia. She came to see me with complaint of not showing any teeth when she smiles. She went to see several different dentists who couldn’t help her. These dentists told her that she needed crowns but she did not want this option. She did her research online for 6 months and decided to come see me for veneers because she wanted something less invasive.

I was able to accomplish this amazing smile makeover in 3 visits, since she lives out of state I opened up her bite, lengthened her teeth, and widened her smile. And for those of you who were wondering if she had any type of lip or jaw surgery, she did not. I did all of this with 12 porcelain veneers and 16 onlay veneers. The final results are absolutely stunning and Patricia loves her beautiful new smile! She has been getting lots of compliments on her smile from family, friends, and co-workers.

Daniel C

My patient Dan hated his teeth. As you can see, they are terribly discolored, broken down, decayed, and pitted. He was always sensitive to hot and cold exposures due to the enamel defects and he had continuous pain because of exposed dentin. I diagnosed him with Amelogenesis Imperfecta. It is a disorder that can be inherited and it affects the structure and appearance of the enamel of the teeth. This condition causes teeth to be very small, discolored, grooved or pitted, and prone to rapid wear and breakage with early tooth decay and tooth loss. Common treatments to address form and function include dental veneers, full dental crowns, or when existing teeth are unsalvageable, complete dental replacement therapy.

Dan went to several dentists who couldn’t help him because they didn’t know what condition he has. Therefore, he was researching for 8 months and finally found me. In this case, I was able to restore him with 12 anterior porcelain veneers and 12 posterior porcelain crowns. I restored his function and health and gave him an amazing smile makeover. He said it is truly life-changing and he is now no longer embarrassed to smile in public.

It is not often that I see this type of congenital disorder in my office. I am so happy and blessed that I was able to help this young man and change his life for the better. Seeing him happy brings me a lot of joy.

Justina D

Justina was not happy with the aesthetics of her smile due to discoloration, misalignment, gummy smile, bad bite (cross bite), and short length of her teeth. She had 2 old faulty anterior porcelain crowns with open margins and cavities, and a narrow arch with negative spaces. She wanted whiter, fuller, straighter, and longer teeth. I gave her an amazing smile with 10 minimal prep porcelain veneers and 2 replacement porcelain crowns. She was very happy with her new smile. The teeth are brighter and longer, and her midline and bite were improved. Her smile was widened and is now more balanced. This gorgeous new smile is definitely a confidence booster.

Helena came to see me because she was not happy with the aesthetics of her smile. She refused orthodontic treatment due to time constraint and the uncomfortable and painful process. Her teeth were crooked, discolored, misaligned, rotated, and uneven. She wanted a brighter, whiter, and straighter smile to boost her confidence. This was crucial due to her career in the fashion industry.

I gave her a dazzling new smile with 20 porcelain veneers, all completed in 3 visits. She was very happy with her new smile and this gave her the boost of confidence that she needed. She was extremely satisfied with her amazing smile transformation! She told me that she loves how natural and beautiful her smile looks. Even her friends and co-workers could not believe that these were veneers because they look so natural and real.

Linda was referred to me by her husband whom I did a smile makeover on. Linda flew in from Tampa, Florida to see me and wanted to see how I can improve her smile. She was always embarrassed about her smile and hated her broken–down, discolored, misaligned, and short teeth. She always dreamed of having longer, whiter, and brighter teeth to fix her smile.

I gave her an amazing smile with 10 minimal prep porcelain veneers. This smile transformation is now wider, brighter, more balanced, and is definitely a confidence booster.

Sandra R

Sandra was not happy with how her smile looked and felt self-conscious. She was always embarrassed to smile and was also concerned about the health of her teeth. She was dissatisfied with her smile because her teeth were dark, stained, crooked, and worn down. She had missing teeth, a lot of decay, old faulty dark bondings, an uneven smile, and an underbite. Also, her dental midline was severely off. She wanted a beautiful, healthy, brighter, and whiter new smile so that she can regain her confidence both professionally and personally.

She wanted a smile makeover to fix all of these problems. I gave her a gorgeous whiter and brighter smile with porcelain bridges, porcelain crowns, and porcelain veneers. I rejuvenated her smile, made her look younger, and now her beautiful smile complements her face. At the same time, I was able to restore her function and health.

Her brand new smile increased her self-confidence and it shows in the after photo – she looks much younger and rejuvenated. Sandra loves her new beautiful dazzling smile and is now proud to show it off. She looks amazing and gets compliments on her beautiful smile all the time!

James C

James had a chief complaint that when he smiles, he is not showing that many teeth and he was embarrassed about it. James displayed very short, discolored, and worn down teeth. Also, he lost most of his enamel due to grinding of his teeth. He lost a lot of vertical dimension which caused him to have a “reverse smile” effect. By using porcelain veneers and onlay veneers, we were able to open his bite and lengthen his teeth. This therefore improved his function, health, and esthetics. We were able to address his chief complaint and gave him an amazing outcome!

Jennifer A

Jennifer was unhappy with the aesthetics of her smile. Her teeth were crooked, discolored, misaligned, and not proportional, and she felt like her smile was uneven. She didn’t like the shape and size of her teeth as well. In addition, she had decay and a bad bite. Her old faulty porcelain crowns weren’t aesthetically pleasing and didn’t match the rest of her teeth.

I gave her a fuller, whiter, and straighter smile with 16 minimal prep porcelain veneers and 4 porcelain crowns. This beautiful new smile brightened her face and improved her overall self-confidence. She loves the final results and now she gets compliments on her gorgeous smile all the time!
