Before and After

There are many things we can do to make your smile beautiful! Move your mouse over the images below to see examples of some of our work - Before & After!

Smiles

Although smiles are very individual, there are characteristics that can make or break a great-looking smile. We take into consideration the patient's facial characteristics, lips, smile line, function, shape of teeth and gums and finally shade desired. Our expertise, knowledge and experience maximize all the above in creating the most beautiful, great-looking result possible.

Spaces

Smiles can be compromised by heredity or by events that just happen in life. No matter what the cause, a challenged smile can impact life.

Before & After Smiles can be compromised with spaces between two teeth, which can be restored with bonded, tooth colored restorations. The bonds are strong and, although the shades are complex, the match is perfect.

This is a nice improvement, don't you think?

Fillings

Some smiles are hampered by black, oxidized silver fillings, making the teeth look dark. These can be replaced with beautiful, bonded filling materials bringing the teeth back to their natural beauty!

Poor Oral Hygiene

Sometimes candy and poor oral hygiene wreak havoc on teeth leaving unsightly decay and severely broken down teeth. Note how beautiful the final result looks. This tragedy turned into a wonderful opportunity to have a smile of her dreams! No one is ever too old to have a beautiful smile!

Teeth Whitening

Whitening teeth can add more excitement to a smile. Although this is a simple procedure, the benefits are stunning and greatly enhance a great smile making it even more beautiful.

Smile Challenges

This smile was challenged by a missing lateral, mismatched crown, irregular gum line, uneven and yellow stained teeth.

Do you think this elegant smile changed her life?

Missing and Misshapen Teeth

Sometimes genetics pass along congenitally missing or misshapen teeth. Neither of these conditions can be corrected by orthodontics. They require solutions provided only by the modern advances of cosmetic dentistry.

Our challenge was to replace Jennifer's missing tooth so that it appeared realistic, just like a natural tooth, as if it is growing out of her gums. After re-contouring her misshaped teeth and balancing the total esthetics and function, Jennifer had the smile of her dreams.

Teeth Recontouring

Genetics had given this patient two very large, shovel-shaped centrals with two very small laterals on either side. This beautiful, instant smile was accomplished with modest re-contouring of the centrals and two natural-looking Empress crowns on the laterals.

This patient's smile is beautiful, wouldn't you agree?

If you, a friend or a loved one are challenged by your smile or would simply like to have a whiter, brighter smile, we would be happy to provide a free Smile Design Consultation.
