As you can see in the two "Before" photos, this patient did not smile very much, having avoided the dentist for many years. The right front incisor crown was falling off from all the decay under the crown. This poor soul was very embarrassed, yet had the courage to come in for a consultation. Patient was sure they were headed for dentures. In one visit, under conscious sedation, we did several root canals, buildups, and fabricated 4 temporary acrylic crowns that you see in the first "After Photo". Patient cried tears of joy at their new smile and hugged me. Best feeling in the world. The temps remained for 4 years while the remaining dental needs were addressed, until finally 4 porcelain pressed to zirconium crowns were recently placed. As you can see, the smiles are even bigger!

This patient came to me asking me to recement the post attached to the crown that came out from the left central incisor. There was almost nothing to hold on to, due to almost no tooth left remaining beyond the gumline. Also in the before photos, there is a gap between the right central incisor crown and the right lateral incisor. To resolve these issues, both dead looking porcelain fused to metal crowns were removed, along with the metal posts, and white carbon fiber post/buildups were bonded with life like all porcelain E.max crowns. The right side gap was closed with a simple composite filling on the lateral incisor, evening out the smile.Patient was very happy, having the confidence to be able to smile without woorying their two front teeth could fall out.

This patient was frustrated because his new upper right front bridge, done elsewhere, embarrassingly kept falling out because there was almost no tooth left to retain it due to severe wear from his severe grinding habit.
We needed to redo the bridge, lengthen all the upper teeth, and replace 3 missing teeth with bridges by opening his bite to create enough room to attain the correct tooth height. He is thrilled with the result.

The final stage in this patient's treatment was to replace her 5 front porcelain fused to metal crowns which were very opaque and dead looking and creating dark lines at the gumline. All porcelain bonded crowns were fabricated, which allow light to pass through, so they are more life-like and visually behave more like natural teeth. Patient LOVES them!!!

This patient was unhappy with their smile. Complained the color was not uniform and did not like the shapes of their teeth. They had a lot of previous dental work, including veneers over large composite fillings which is not ideal because they easily leak and break down. All 6 upper front teeth were replaced with lifelike all porcelein e.Max single crowns. Patient LOVES their new smile!!!
