This gorgeous client came to my practice requesting the closure of the gap between her two front teeth. I treated this case with @invisalign
She was very compliant with the aligner
usage and we finished the case in 11 months.

It’s always great when the patient consents to their full face portrait. I like to show what the smile can truly do for one’s face.

This is another one of my favorite cases.

I reconstructed her entire upper arch using customized porcelain crowns crafted by Paulo Batistella at @codewhiteboutiquelab. Hints of pink porcelain were used on the left posterior area to balance the display of teeth x gingiva. There’s a lot of beauty in symmetry.

This gorgeous patient wanted to improve the size, alignment and color of her teeth.

I first started treatment planning this case by referring her to a trusted orthodontist to correct a chewing pattern interference. Which caused her to continuously chip her two front porcelain crowns.

After about 13 months she returned to my office and we started the process of designing a smile to better fit her face. A set of twelve customized porcelain restorations ( veneers and crowns ) were crafted to bring more light and balance to her face.

Straight forward case of 10 porcelain veneers to balance the smile. By bringing uniformity to the length and shape of the teeth I can reduce the visual tension and create a very pleasant smile.

It’s all about achieving balance. That’s the essence of Cosmetic Dentistry. In this case we did a combination of porcelain veneers for all the anterior teeth and porcelain crowns for all the posterior ones. The gum line was also lifted to provide a proper frame for the smile. Simple case with straight forward results.

Great conservative case combining Invisalign and professional teeth whitening.
The treatment took over a year because the patient had a combination of posterior and anterior cross bite. His dentition was starting to deteriorate due to the colliding pattern of the occlusion. That is where Invisalign came in to correct teeth position and promote dental longevity.
Patient was very compliant and is wearing clear retainers for maintenance nightly.

This just happened. Patient was out at brunch and while biting a bagel with her front teeth , the restoration on the lateral broke in half. Since these are composite veneers I was able to complete the repair in one visit using composite bonding material.

I always tell my patients to avoid tearing anything with their front teeth in order to avoid unwanted fractures. And some food items should be cut in small pieces prior to eating it. Teeth and dental restorations aren’t invincible.

I love how porcelain veneers can balance the smile and rejuvenate the face.
The lower third of the face can look deficient if the smile lacks presence.
In this case I did ten minimal prep veneers. #antiagingdentistry

Gum architecture can make or break a smile. Notice how beautifully balanced this smile looks after correction of the gingival margin with a laser.

Here is a smile makeover in which the patient requested a very white smile. I made 12 porcelain veneers with no staining and she was extremely happy.
This photo was taken at the third year follow up.

This gorgeous patient wanted a big smile without committing to a full set of veneers( usually 10 units ) so we focused on restoring the four front teeth.

Porcelain veneers were custom made to correct the wear and chipping and give this patient the big smile she always dreamed of.

Very challenging implant case replacing a missing lateral. My periodontist did a fantastic job with the gum grafting to minimize any metal show through at the gum line. Once everything was healed I placed a porcelain crown over a zirconium custom abutment on the implant.

Here are the four major reasons I use Invisialign in my dental practice:
1. It’s effective
2. It’s discreet
3. It’s comfortable
4. You can enjoy your favorite foods

This photograph illustrates why I am not a big fan of composite veneers. Their discoloration factor is extremely high yielding very unaesthetic results as the restorations age. In this case I replaced them with two full porcelain veneers that blend seamlessly with the smile.

Not everyone loves a gap. This patient despised it. Case treated with composite resin(aka: bonding) in one visit.

Teeth whitening is one of the most conservative ways to rejuvenate the smile that has been dulled by coffee, wine and aging. In this case one in office session was performed. Results vary. Consult with your trusted dental professional.
