Before & After
Crown and Bridge
This gentleman was tired of the old Composite and Amalgam Restorations that were failing and had been replaced several times over the years. His old Bridge Work had recurrent decay and his bite was collapsing. We built back up his plane of occlusion with Porcelain/Zirconia Bridges on the posterior teeth and cosmetically restored his smile with all Ceramic Crowns on the front teeth for a very aesthetically pleasing result.
A crown and bridge is a dental appliance used to replace missing teeth. A crown is an artificial cover that is placed over the top of a damaged or decayed tooth, while a bridge consists of one or more artificial teeth, known as pontics, that are supported by crowns on either side. The crowns are placed over the natural teeth adjacent to the gap, and the pontics fill the space left by the missing teeth. Crowns and bridges can be made from a variety of materials, including porcelain, gold, or ceramic. The process of getting a crown and bridge typically involves several visits to the dentist to ensure that the appliance fits properly and is comfortable to wear. The benefits of a crown and bridge include improved function and appearance, as well as a reduction in the risk of further tooth loss. However, they may require some time to get used to and may need to be adjusted or replaced over time.

Composite Veneers
This patient was unhappy with her smile. The dark spot on her front tooth as well as the overlapping caused her to be very self-conscious about her smile. She was also concerned with the more expensive cost of porcelain veneers so she chose composite veneers to build and straighten her teeth. Now she won’t stop smiling!
Composite veneers are a type of dental restoration that is used to improve the appearance of the teeth. They are made from a composite resin material that is applied to the front surface of the tooth and shaped to mimic the appearance of a natural tooth. Composite veneers can be used to correct a variety of cosmetic issues, such as chips, cracks, gaps, and discoloration. They are generally less expensive than porcelain veneers and can be completed in a single visit to the dentist. The benefits of composite veneers include an improvement in the appearance of the teeth and a minimally invasive treatment process. However, they may not be as durable as porcelain veneers and may require more maintenance over time.

Restoring Teeth that have been
involved in Trauma
This Little girl was walking her dog when it decided to chase a cat and drag her along. She tripped on the leash and hit her mouth on the pavement chipping her front teeth.
Restoring teeth that have been involved in trauma can involve a range of dental procedures depending on the severity of the injury. If the tooth is broken or chipped, it may be possible to repair it with bonding or a crown. If the tooth has been knocked out completely, it may be possible to reimplant it if it is handled properly and treated quickly. If the tooth cannot be reimplanted, an implant or bridge may be used to replace it. In cases where the root of the tooth is damaged, a root canal procedure may be necessary to remove the infected or damaged tissue and save the tooth. In some cases, the tooth may be beyond repair and will need to be extracted. It is important to seek prompt dental treatment after any dental trauma to minimize the risk of further damage and to restore the function and appearance of the affected tooth.

Complete Denture
This fine guy had worn a Full Upper Denture since the mid 1960’s with the last one being made about 10-15 years ago.
