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.

Brooke W

Brooke was not happy with the aesthetics of her smile due to the short length of her teeth. Her chief complaint was that when she smiles, she is not showing enough teeth. She displayed very short, discolored, and worn down teeth. Also, she lost most of her enamel due to grinding of the teeth which caused her to have a “reverse smile” effect.

She wanted whiter, brighter, straighter, and longer teeth. I gave her an amazing smile with 12 super minimal prep porcelain veneers. She was very happy with her new smile. Her smile is now wider, longer, brighter, and more balanced. This is definitely a confidence booster!

Look at the dramatic difference!

Brittany M

I love this amazing smile transformation! When I do a treatment plan, it’s always about facially driven aesthetics. That’s why I love to take before & after portraits. You can see how good she looks and how happy she is in the after photo. The power of a beautiful smile can enhance your face, and of course a picture is worth a thousand words

Brittany was unhappy with her smile and wanted to improve it. Her old smile did not fit her beautiful and wonderful personality. Her teeth were crooked, discolored, misaligned, and uneven. She had a severely canted smile and her dental midline was off-center. She had many dental issues in the past with her teeth which included an anterior right lateral incisor that got infected and was loose. We did an extraction on this tooth and performed esthetic crown lengthening. I gave her a dazzling new smile with a 3 unit anterior porcelain bridge and 7 minimal prep porcelain veneers.

When I design a beautiful smile, I am looking to fill out the smile, create facial balance, and improve the overall vitality and color of the teeth in the smile frame. She loves her smile transformation and she gets lots of compliments from family, friends, and co-workers.

Her beautiful new smile complements her face and increased her self-confidence. She absolutely loves the final results.

Her brand new smile was definitely a confidence booster. This beautiful new smile suits her perfectly and she loves the final results. She is so ecstatic about her new smile and tells me she gets lots of compliments.

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.

Gabriela S

Gabriela was unhappy with her smile and wanted to improve it. Gabriela‘s old smile did not fit her beautiful and wonderful personality. She had multiple gaps between her teeth. Her teeth were misaligned, dark, and discolored. The irregular size of her teeth were not proportional to her face. After initial consultation, she had an accident where she had fractured the front left lateral incisor. This fractured tooth was then extracted.

I was able to close the gaps between her teeth, add some length and made her teeth proportional to her features. I was able to give her a broader, whiter, and brighter smile with 7 minimum prep porcelain veneers and a 3 units porcelain bridge. She loves her final smile transformation and she gets lots of compliments from family, friends, and co-workers.
