No veneer, no crown, just whitening!

This patient came to me feeling hopeless about her brown front tooth that she has always hated. She never felt comfortable with previous dentists to pursue treatment.

After learning about her past experiences and sharing treatment options with her, we decided to go with the most conservative option which was whitening. We could not do regular Teeth Whitening because the brown stain was coming from inside the tooth. The tooth needed to be whitened internally!

She lived embarrassed about this front tooth for many years but it only took 2 weeks to whiten it to make her smile and give her the confidence she deserves to have.

If you’re embarrassed about your smile, seek a consult and let’s find some solutions for you. Don’t wait to be the best version of you 😊

(Dentists friends, this was a vital tooth! I know, I was shocked too. We decided not to do a root canal at this point however patient and I know it is definitely a possibility in the future! Internal bleaching only with a good seal over the pulp chamber. Pt had no sensitivity during the walking whitening phase. The tooth already has a permanent composite to close the access hole and tooth is still responding normal. It’s not as white as her #8 but we are thrilled with the transformation 🥳)

Ended the year with a private yoga class at . Perfect way to end a year of hard work. I loved that we were able to take a moment to let our bodies connect with our mind and spirit and most importantly that I was able to do this with my team (missing a few). I’m so appreciative of each of them - Alexis, Denise, Eme, Kayla, Sherilyn, and Tracy - who work so hard behind the scenes. I love doing dentistry and I would not be able to do it at this caliber without all the support from my team. Cheers to a beautiful year! 🙏

(ngl, some moments in our yoga session was like “nope, can’t do that 😅” looking forward to adding more flexibility and improved breath work in the next year 🙌🏼)

Oh Denise 😊 Thank you for being so incredible as a person and as a team member. You handle so many things all at once yet you stay so organized, calm, cool, and collected. I appreciate you so much! Happy National Administrative Professionals Day to you! (Please bring this girl some coffee or treats to show your appreciation. Make sure to include some to share for the whole office 😆)

If you grind or clench your teeth at night, do not ignore it. If your partner or roomie does this, let them know! Ideally we do NOT want to be grinding and clenching at night and we need to address the root cause but in the meantime, you need to protect your teeth. Nighttime grinding and clenching can cause teeth to become worn down fast, cause bone loss, and even TOOTH LOSS! Strongly consider wearing a custom made nightguard to protect your teeth and/or having Botox placed in your jaw muscles to stop the involuntary muscle overuse that you cannot control when you are sleeping. Nightguards should be worn daily during sleep and Botox can be done twice a year (4 times max).
Hope this information helps! 😬

Let this be the year that you stop making excuses and put your dental health first. There will always be a reason that can stop you - time, finances, fear. Stop waiting for the perfect time for you to prioritize your health and your confidence. Stop waiting and just do it. If you really want something, you can always find a way!

Sometimes whitening is all you need to change your whole smile! These are some of our favorite cases using our strongest whitening system: KoR. No veneers placed.. just cleaned, whitened, and brightened! 🤩
These results are not instant. To achieve these results, you must have your teeth professionally cleaned in the office, commit to two weeks of whitening at home, followed by 1 hour of deep whitening in the office, then a few more days of whitening at home to lock it in.
The results are amazing and it does not relapse so fast like other systems we have seen. It’s a lot of work but always worth it at the end!

Life Changing 🤩
This gentleman was never born with lateral incisors. He made the decision to get his missing teeth replaced and he chose to have dental implants placed.
This case was accomplished by collaborating with a colleague, Dr. Jeffrey Payne, who placed a hefty bone graft and later two dental implants. When the patient’s implants were ready, I restored them by placing two implant crowns matching his existing teeth shade and characteristics. Just look at how the new implant crowns emerge from the gums! Talk about natural! 😍
Most people wait too long to get the smile they always wanted. This patient is only in his mid-20s. I am so excited for him because his new smile is going to give him confidence moving forward in life and because he is still so young, he will be able to enjoy his new smile for many years to come.

It’s crazy to think I have been a dentist for 10 years already! I am definitively not the same dentist I was when I graduated in 2012. Like every industry, more experience will make you good at your job. But more knowledge will make you EXCEL. Especially in healthcare, you must continue to expand or deepen your knowledge. Don’t settle for what you learned in school. Stay up to date with literature, research, and be open minded to other philosophies and systems outside of western medicine. When you know better, you do better. When we do better, we can take better care of each other.

Motherhood, running a business, practicing dentistry, all while trying to take care of yourself - it’s definitely a juggling act. 🤹🏼‍♀️
Since the start of the year, I have felt the most overwhelmed I have ever felt in my life. I had never-ending challenges on top of being sleep deprived because my 1 year old is teething! Teeth were becoming my enemy. 😈
With so much on the line, I knew I had to get it together before I got burnt out. I started to evaluate why I felt overwhelmed and focused on what brings me joy. 😊
For example, motherhood can be difficult because of a messy house but I love spending time with my family. Instead of constantly complaining about toys all over the place, I made sure to plan more family activities to bring me joy so that the mess in the house doesn’t trigger me so much.
Practicing dentistry can be very overwhelming too. If the schedule is crazy, I don’t get time to rest between patients or even drink water or have a lunch. Instead of being upset over an exhausting schedule, I focus on my craft. Working on a tooth truly brings me joy. It’s so fun for me to rebuild a tooth. My creative juices are flowing, I’m tunnel-visioned, and I’m happy.
Of course, all the stressors still need to be addressed but stress doesn’t have to be negative. It can be positive! Stress can be used to challenge you, make improvements, and push you to be better.

“I can’t believe how pretty my teeth look now!!
Thank you for taking good care of me!!!” 🗣
There were so many ways we could have transformed this smile. In this case, this lovely woman and I decided to do the following:
- Invisalign to address front crowding
- Porcelain bridges to replace missing side teeth on right and left sides
-Teeth Cleanings to remove stain and build-up
-Whitening to brighten the whole smile
Restoring function and health to the mouth is what I do. Boosting someone’s confidence is a plus 🙌🏼

7 TIPS FOR FRESHER BREATH 💋
Stinky breath comes from a bacterial imbalance in the mouth (or even the gut!) and there are so many factors at play. Try these 7 tips to help balance the oral microbiome for fresher breath!

1. Ditch the alcohol-based mouthwash and use a tongue scraper instead 👅
2. Drink lots of plain water - alkaline is even better 💦
3. Eat more whole foods - fruits and vegetables in their raw state 🥦🍎
4. Eat less processed and packaged food - even those healthy organic granola bars.. not as beneficial as you think ❌
5. FLOSSING. Not flossing is like not washing your underarms or… not wiping your butt crack 😖
6. No mouth breathing - during the day and even during sleep. Try mouth tape! 🤐
7. Seeing your hygienist regularly 🦷
Hope this helps you or whoever you’re kissing. 😙😜
