Meet Kelly,

Kelly had come to me with a history of various dental problems, many of which stemmed from her uneven bite and crowded teeth. We had spoken about trying to stabilize her bite and clear up her crowding as a means to decrease the number of dental problems that she will have in the future.

During her consultation, we spoke about all of her options. She wasn't interested in having anything that she needed to take in and out of her mouth, so we decided on straightening the teeth with braces and then from there, restore her mouth with a combination of crowns, bridges, and implants.

After orthodontic treatment, we took some new impressions utilizing a 3d scanner so that I could design how I wanted to restore the teeth as well as plan where to place the implants. After the implants had healed, we transferred the proposed smile design and let her test drive it for a few weeks to make sure she was happy with how it looked and felt. From there, we prepped the teeth and sent everything off to the lab to have the final restorations made.

Kelly and I were thrilled with the end result.

Meet Justin,

Justin came to me because he wasn't happy with how his teeth looked. He was congenitally missing some of his teeth and wanted to see what his options were to improve his smile.

During his consultation, we spoke with him about his options. Due to the position of the teeth, if we wanted to be able to replace the missing teeth in a manner that looked natural, the best route was to first undergo orthodontic treatment to move the teeth to make room to replace the congenitally missing teeth. Although he wasn't thrilled about how long it would take, he ultimately agreed that this would be the best route.

After orthodontic treatment, we took some new impressions utilizing a 3d scanner and 3d printer, I was able to transfer the proposed smile design to his mouth before prepping the teeth for crowns. We placed an implant to replace the missing tooth, but because he was getting married in a couple weeks, we didn't have time to wait for the implant to heal so we made a bridge to replace the missing tooth and will be using the implant after it heals for 4-6 months.

Justin and I were thrilled with the end result.

Meet Asim,

Asim came to me because he had broken a front tooth and he wasn't happy with how his smile looked. Upon examination, it was apparent that Asim had a history of grinding his teeth at night and as a result has work down his teeth extensively. I let him know we could just repair the one teeth if he wanted, but if we didn't get address the root cause of the tooth breaking, he will likely end up breaking more teeth down the road. Asim agreed that we should address the root cause and not just fix what has broken.

Asim wasn't interested in having implants placed, so we decided to make his teeth longer so that we can correct his collapsed bite and make things look nice along the way.

Utilizing a 3d scanner and 3d printer, I was able to have Asim test drive his new smile without even drilling on any teeth to make sure he was happy with the way things felt and looked.

Using a combination of crowns and bridges, Asim and I were beyond thrilled with the final result.

Meet Tracey!

Tracey came to me with teeth that she was embarrassed to show to people. After years and years of not smiling, she thought it was time she did something about it.

When I first met Tracey, she was very timid and didn't like to smile, but after we fixed her smile, she has transformed into a very outgoing and always has a smile on her face. It was awesome to see her go through such a change. She finally has the smile to match her happy personality.

New Smile for the New Year!

Matthew for years has been wearing a partial denture that he was unhappy with both esthetically and functionally. He had a tooth that had broken down, so I had suggested a few options that would allow him to have an amazing smile, and allow him to chew much better.

Using the digital impression scanner and 3d printer, we were able to digitally plan his various options and show him what his new smile could look like.

After coming up with various options, we found an option that met Matthew's budget and final outcome goals.

We first transferred the new smile to his mouth without even having to drill on the teeth and then let him test drive the smile to make sure he was happy with it.

Both Matthew and I were very happy with the end result!
