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.

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.

Dan K

Dan was not happy with the aesthetics of his smile and therefore he wanted brighter, whiter, straighter teeth to boost his confidence. His teeth were discolored, misaligned, had decay and he had a bad bite. I gave him a dazzling smile with 24 minimal prep porcelain veneers. He was very happy with his new smile and this gave him a boost of confidence for both his social and professional life. Overall, he was extremely satisfied with his amazing smile transformation!

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!

Hana was embarrassed of her smile and felt self-conscious. She had fractured her front teeth and also hated the discoloration of her teeth. She wanted to improve her smile and her appearance. I gave her a beautiful smile transformation with super minimum prep porcelain veneers (0.3 mm reduction) to fix fractured teeth. I also addressed the problems of decay and discoloration. I did this in 2 simple painless visits.

Naftali never liked his smile and he was concerned about the health of his teeth. He had lots of faulty restorations, discoloration, and damaged chipped teeth. He was very embarrassed about his smile because he sees lots of clients everyday. He wanted a smile makeover to boost his confidence. We were able to achieve this by giving him porcelain crowns, porcelain veneers, and a porcelain bridge. He is very happy with his smile and gets compliments from family, friends, and co-workers.

Ted J

Ted presented to us with aesthetic concerns about his teeth. Besides the aesthetic concerns, we also had to address the many issues concerning the health of his teeth and gums. He had multiple issues which were corrected by doing extractions, gum lift, tooth colored fillings, porcelain crowns, and porcelain bridge. He is extremely happy with the results of his smile makeover. He says he cannot stop smiling everyday.

Nick P

Nick came to us very unhappy with his smile. He told us he was born without two upper front lateral incisors. His canines therefore grew into the position next to his two front central teeth. He also had an underbite that affected his chewing and alignment of his jaw. Aesthetically, these dental issues deeply affected his confidence. We were very happy to be able to help this young man correct these dental problems by giving him 8 porcelain veneers. We gave him the confidence and self-esteem that he was looking for. He loves his new attractive smile and was very grateful for the work that we did.

Amy B

Amy’s old smile did not fit her vibrant, charming personality. She always disliked her smile and she was always embarrassed to smile. She felt her smile is holding her back in her acting career. Her new smile improved her overall self-confidence. She now loves to smile and is happy to take pictures. We were able to give her the smile of her dreams. She said she did not realize how much her old smile had been holding her back. Now she gets compliments on her beautiful smile all the time!

Melody M

Melody wanted a brighter, whiter, and straighter smile that she always dreamed about. She used to walk around embarrassed of her smile. She disliked her discolored, crooked, and misaligned teeth. She especially did not like her old faulty, bulky, dark color lower dental porcelain bridge. We were able to fix her smile in 2 weeks by giving her 16 porcelain veneers and 4 porcelain crowns. Now she has regained her confidence and can smile easily. She loves to show her new beautiful smile.
