Here’s what I hear all the time from people who are interested in cosmetic dentistry…

Our patient, in her 50s, came to us with a broken front tooth (can you guess which one from first pic?). Here’s the story, maybe you’ve been through something similar yourself.

She had 8 beautiful upper crowns placed nearly 15 years ago. But over time, her grinding habits caused her bite to collapse, wearing down her lower front teeth significantly, even creating holes in her canines. Eventually, one of her upper front crowns gave in and broke right at the gumline (2nd pic).

As dentists, we’re trained to want to fix the immediate problem. But if I had just repaired that single tooth, another would have broken soon after and then another because the real issue wasn’t the tooth, it was her bite. So we stabilized the broken tooth with a temporary and had an honest discussion about how we can prevent further damage and the perpetual cycle of, “you break- I fix” dentistry.

She understood the value of comprehensive treatment and chose to move forward with 24 beautifully natural, hand crafted, porcelain veneers and onlay veneers for the lowers and replacement crowns for the top in order to improve her bite and esthetics.

Slide 2 (for context): When teeth wear down, the space between upper and lower arches decreases (aka a deep bite), creating excessive stress on the front teeth. That’s what caused her crown to snap at the gumline. The top and middle images show her bite before correction, with limited space. In the final result (bottom photo), you can see the space we created relieving pressure and protecting her new smile.

The first thing I notice about a smile, isn’t what you think…

Invisalign is one of my favorite tools for correcting alignment and bite issues when the teeth themselves are already healthy. This patient had naturally beautiful teeth but they weren’t in the right position. The two front teeth were retroclined (leaning back) and there was some crowding on the lower arch. After Invisalign treatment, I typically finish with whitening and a little bonding or enameloplasty as the finishing touch that elevates the smile to its full potential which is what we did here. Invisalign consults this month are free. DM for appointments.

The success of a smile makeover relies on too many factors for an Instagram video but here’s 3

A beautiful gummy smile transformation executed by our incredible team.

We started by designing a custom temporary smile design to map out the ideal position of her new gingival zeniths. With the blueprint in place, performed a precise gum lift to elevate and contour the gumline. We followed with a combination of crowns and veneers, brought to life by the craftsmanship of one of our incredible master ceramists

Challenging but incredibly rewarding case where our team came together to create a natural, radiant smile that feels effortlessly right for her. After our last follow up visit, she shared that improving her smile had been on her mind for a long time but nerves and uncertainty of what it would look like made her hesitate to move forward. She couldn’t quite picture how it would all come together but now that she’s done she’s so glad she trusted the process and took the leap. In fact hers is a common concern I hear from patients and one which we can now help alleviate before you commit by showing you a preview of what’s possible. Link in bio to see what’s possible for you.

Common question: How many teeth do I need to do? Not such an easy answer. Really depends on your goals. Are we trying to brighten the smile? How many teeth do you show when you speak and not just pose for a smile? Is your bite collapsed? Is there any decay or broken teeth/fillings? All of these questions help guide us to an answer.

This transformation goes far beyond the teeth. When done right, cosmetic dentistry can subtly reshape the entire lower third of the face—enhancing lip support, softening folds, and restoring balance and youthfulness.

Here’s a break down ⬇️

1. Lip Support 👄
▫️Before: The upper lip appeared slightly deflated, creating a flatter profile.
▫️After: Veneers added subtle lip volume—supporting the lip from underneath and softening nasolabial folds for a rejuvenated, more lifted appearance.

2. Smile Arc 🌙
▫️Before: The teeth didn’t follow the natural curve of the lower lip, flattening the smile’s impact.
▫️After: The new smile arc now mirrors the lower lip—a key to femininity, elegance, and youthful expression.

3. Soft Tissue Tension ✨
▫️After treatment: There’s visible relaxation around the mouth. The muscles no longer strain to smile—thanks to an improved bite, better occlusion, and ideal tooth display. It makes smiling feel natural again.

4. Facial Animation 🪞
▫️The emotional difference is real. With restored confidence, the entire lower third of the face feels more expressive, more vibrant, and more “at ease.”

This is the power of comprehensive esthetic dentistry. It’s not just about teeth—it’s about the face, the confidence, and the story it tells.

Every face is different. Every smile we design has to be too.
⁣
Copy paste dentistry doesn’t cut it because your features, proportions, and personality deserve more than a one size fits all approach. We study facial flow, symmetry, and what makes you look like you and then we build around that.
⁣
This isn’t about changing who you are. It’s about elevating it, with a smile that fits your face like it was always meant to be.
