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.

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.

The power of a beautiful smile can enhance your face, and of course a picture is worth a thousand words. 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. I love this amazing smile transformation! The Problems: Missing right lateral incisor & the right canine moved into its position 2 old faulty right porcelain crowns with open margins & cavities Misshapen teeth Midline is off Narrow arch with negative spaces Teeth are not proportional in shape and size Discolored teeth Misaligned teeth Bad bite Uneven smile The Solutions: Smile Makeover with 2 Porcelain Crowns & 12 Porcelain Veneers. Right canine was reshaped to look like a right lateral incisor and the 1st right premolar reshaped to look like a right canine, & replaced 2 old faulty crowns. The teeth are brighter and longer, and her midline and bite were improved. Her smile was widened and is more balanced. This gorgeous new smile 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!

Dan K

Dan wanted a brighter, whiter, gorgeous smile. He didn’t want to get braces to close all his spaces. He used to walk around embarrassed of his smile because of all the gaps between his teeth and the old dark stained discoloration. Also, he was missing an upper front left incisor and the left canine drifted in its position. When we gave him 17 porcelain veneers, he gained a new smile which improved his overall self-confidence. Now he has nothing to be embarrassed about and he can smile easily. He loves to show his new dazzling, brighter, and whiter smile.

Rory B

Rory was not happy with the aesthetics of his smile. He wanted a brighter, whiter, straighter smile to boost his confidence especially in his line of work. His teeth were discolored, misaligned, dull, chipped, uneven, and had decay. I gave him a dazzling new smile with 16 porcelain veneers, 8 porcelain crowns and a 4 unit porcelain bridge. Therefore, this improved his function, health, and aesthetics. He requested a very white shade and he loves his gorgeous white teeth. He was very happy with his new smile and this gave him a boost of confidence that he needed. He was extremely satisfied with his amazing smile transformation!

Nahira A

Nahira was very unhappy with her smile. She was embarrassed of her smile and felt self-conscious. She hated the gap between her front teeth and discoloration of her teeth. She didn’t like the shapes of her teeth as well. She wanted to improve her smile and her appearance.

I gave her a beautiful smile transformation with 5 minimum prep porcelain veneers, 3 units porcelain bridge and whitening. 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.

Gunjan P

Gunjan was not happy with the aesthetics of her smile. She didn’t like her white spots, small dents, discolorations, and chips on her teeth. She also had crooked and misaligned teeth and she didn’t like the shape and size of her teeth as well. She wanted a whiter, brighter, and straighter smile to boost her confidence.

I gave her 8 super minimal prep porcelain veneers. Note: She will be getting a dental implant for the missing right 2nd premolar soon. Her dazzling new smile now complements and brightens her face. She loves her new smile and gets lots of compliments from family, friends, and co-workers.

Valentina T

Valentina came to see me because she was extremely unhappy with her smile. She didn’t like how her smile looked and felt self-conscious. She disliked her short, crooked, irregularly shaped, and discolored teeth. Valentina is missing an upper front left lateral incisor and therefore the upper front left canine moved into its position. She had spacing issues, improper bite, and tooth size discrepancies.

She had an uneven smile where one side of her smile is a lot longer than the other side and slopes down the left side. She had retained baby teeth that were decayed and infected and they were in the wrong position. She felt that her teeth were small and wanted bigger teeth.

These problems have been bothering her for many years and previous dentists told her they couldn’t help her. The decay and infected retained baby teeth were extracted by and she didn’t want dental implants. She also refused braces.

She desperately wanted my help to improve her smile. In light all of this, I had a challenging case on my hands. I reshaped her canine to look like a lateral incisor and reshaped her 1st premolar to look like a canine. Also, I was able to close the spaces between her teeth, improve her bite, resize her teeth and correct the uneven smile. I gave her a beautiful smile by using porcelain veneers and porcelain bridges.

She was very happy with her final smile makeover. Her dazzling new smile complements and brightens her face. She loves her final smile transformation and gets a lot of 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.

Marlyne W

Marlyne always dreamed of having a beautiful gorgeous smile ever since she can remember. She used to walk around embarrassed of her smile. She doesn’t like the different sizes, discolorations, and spaces between her teeth. She was born with 1 baby tooth that never came out, and subsequently her left lateral incisor adult tooth (#10) never came in.

She is missing an upper front right lateral incisor and therefore the upper front right canine moved into its position. Some patients are unfortunately born with missing teeth which can create and lead to spaces between the teeth. I reshaped her canine to look like a lateral incisor and reshaped her 1st premolar to look like a canine. I was also able to close all the spaces between her teeth, improve her bite and smile by using porcelain veneers.

We were able to give her the smile of her dreams. Now she has more confidence and can smile easily. She loves to show off her new amazing smile.

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.
