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.

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.

Antonia A

I gave this patient a big boost of confidence with 12 minimal prep porcelain veneers. Antonia was not happy with the aesthetics of her smile due to discoloration, misalignment, and short length of her teeth. She wanted whiter, brighter, straighter, and longer teeth. I gave her an amazing smile transformation which she was proud to show off. She was very happy with her new smile. This smile transformation is now wider, brighter, more balanced, and is definitely a confidence booster.

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.

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.

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!

Jarry L

Jarry came to see me because she didn’t like her smile. She wanted to improve her smile because she is a perfectionist and she has to be on camera alot because of her career. She wanted to do only her 4 upper front teeth because she didn’t want to change her smile too much. But she wanted a flawless smile. She didn’t like the irregular shape and size of her 4 front teeth which bother her. Her right lateral and central incisors were longer than the left lateral and central incisors which made her smile look slanted (this is a smile that slopes towards one direction).

I gave her a straighter and brighter gorgeous looking smile with 4 minimum prep porcelain veneers. Her new smile improved her overall self-confidence. This beautiful new smile complements her face and she loves the final results. She is so ecstatic about her new smile and tells me she gets lots of compliments. She said that her veneers look and feel so natural and she is grateful for the work that I did.
