The patients presented below are meant to show you the type of everyday dentistry that we perform. We have many more photos of each of these particular cases, as well as more photos of the specific treatment. We would be happy to show you these additional photos during your consultation or next preventative visit.
Vivaneers & Lumineers - are the best treatment option to achieve a great smile quickly and easily. The difference between these and conventional veneers is that Vivaneers/Lumineers do not require anesthesia (shots) or tooth reduction (drilling). This ultraconservative treatment is only possible using the latest laboratory technology and highly effective bonding techniques. The photos on the right demonstrate how fabulous these look and what a tremendous difference they can make to your smile and your confidence! The photos are of a teenage highschool girl who had severe discolorations on her teeth and therefore did not like to smile. The top photo is before treatment and the bottom photo is after. You can imagine the difference these made in her life, and can in yours or someone you know.
Bracess and Invisalign - are both great options for attaining straight teeth and improving your smile. Conventional braces (wires and brackets) are the "gold standard" and can be used to correct every situation. However, the drawback to braces is that they are difficult to clean around and under, and also they are not esthetic. InvisAlign is a technique for correcting crooked teeth that utilizes clear plastic "Aligners". It is a simple process of using multiple aligners, in a specific sequence, to move your teeth to their correct position. The aligners do not effect your speech, are nearly invisible, and can easiliy be removed to eat and also brush and floss your teeth! Invisalign is excellent for those of us that had braces as a kid and our teeth have become crowded again as adults. Stop by and we would be happy to show you actual aligners and get you on your to having straight teeth.
Porcelain Veneers - a great way to rejuvenate and brighten your smile. Often times we are able to dramtically improve your smile without shots or drilling. Typically 4 to 8 teeth are treated at the same time, depending on your smile and specific needs. The case shown here invovled the upper front six teeth. Two visits, approximately two weeks apart, were required to complete the case. Although the photos are small, you can see the improvement in color, shape, and legnth. Veneers are an excellent choice for closing spaces and correcting crooked teeth as well.
Tooth Replacement - Dental Implants are the treatment of choice for replacing missing teeth. Implants replace the root portion of the natural tooth. Whether replacing a single tooth or multiple teeth, implants provide a natural look, feel and function that is not possible with any other treatment. Teeth replaced with implants are 90% more effective chewing vs. removable false teeth and our patients often tell us that their implants feel just like their real teeth. The patient pictured to the left lost three front teeth as a result of trauma. We were able to restore natural form and function with three individual implants (note only the tops of the implants are visible in the upper photo). The success of an implant replaced tooth is extremely high and more predictable than a root canal treated tooth, and therefore implants have a wide range of applications.

Reconstruction - is for those who have severely worn teeth, broken teeth, and missing teeth. It involves a multifaceted approach to restoring normal function of your mouth. Often a combination of all the treatment listed above is required. The gentleman in the photos to the right had severely broken back teeth and front teeth with multiple mismatched crowns and fillings. He had 16 teeth restored in a single visit with sedation. As a result of the sedation, he was very comfortable throughout the procedures and had little, if any, memory of the appointment afterwards.
Anxiety Free Dentistry - is a reality and very possible for you. We utilize a technique that is extremely safe and very effective at dramatically reducing your fear of dental treatment. And the best part is that you have virtually no memory of having been in the dental chair! American Dental Association studies show that 40% of adults do not get the dental care they need because they are afraid. We know from experience that Oral Concious Sedation removes the fear from the most dental-phobic person and allows them to get rid of their dental pain and restore their teeth. Come visit us and we'll let you know how you can benefit from relaxing and stress free treatment. We invite to come by to meet us and tour our office so that you can get aquainted before you ever sit in the chair.
