Harnessing the power of a smile

Restoring beauty is such a delicate matter. Over time this patient’s smile was broken down due to teeth grinding and orthodontic relapse. When the shape, size, and color of the teeth all become compromised, porcelain veneers can be an excellent treatment option. 10 upper veneers were placed and the result is simply spectacular. The smile is rejuvenated, soft, natural, beautiful!

Simply amazing… that a dentist would let someone walk out thinking the top image was acceptable. To course-correct her smile, we replaced her upper and lower veneers—smaller, thinner, less square, less opaque. More feminine, more natural. What a game changer!

This case involved a patient who lost her front tooth years ago and required a dental implant. Over time, teeth shifting necessitated gum surgery to adjust the gumline height. Her existing veneers were also replaced, and new veneers were added to the bicuspids. The result? A softer, more feminine smile—nothing short of spectacular!

One of my all time favorite smiles! This gentleman had crowns on his front right central and lateral incisors. He was unhappy with the color not matching and he also did not like his pointed canines. The crowns were replaced and additional porcelain veneers were added to create color matching, less pointed canines, and a more symmetrical smile. The result is absolutely outstanding!

The gentleman presented with the following aesthetic challenges: The front tooth teeth are discolored unevenly and the overall color is too dark. The central and lateral incisors are small, so much that they create a reverse smile curve. The uneven shapes of the teeth need more symmetry. 10 upper porcelain veneers were placed to solve these issues, and the result is spectacular! The smile is very natural, very masculine, and the patient is smiling with confidence and joy!

This patient wanted a subtle enhancement so I focused on creating veneers for the front 4 teeth with slight teeth whitening on the sides for a natural-looking smile. It is similar, but better! Being able to help people feel good about themselves is always the brightest part of my day.

Quiet luxury counts for the smile too. In this case, you can see how my subtle touch can make a big difference. When I work on a smile, I always strive to ensure it looks as natural as the one you were born with.

This is one of my favorite cases in which the smile was improved on an existing smile that was pretty good to begin with. Oftentimes patients are in pursuit of improvement and I really enjoy helping them achieve it. 10 upper porcelain veneers were placed to brighten the color and create more balance in the smile.

This is patient came to see me because she was starting to become unhappy about the appearance of her smile. The teeth are straight, but the color is quite yellow and the edges are thin and shortened from years of wear and tear. 10 upper and 10 lower porcelain veneers were placed to improve the appearance. While the color is much brighter, notice how the tooth shapes are similar to the original. This is a great example of quiet luxury for the smile.

Veneers done properly! Balance, shape, color, and sizing are critical to success. Notice how the veneers actually carry similarities from the original smile. This is how a smile can be enhanced while maintaining its personality. It keeps you looking like yourself, only better!

Strong. Masculine. Beautiful. Natural. This gentleman wanted a very dominant smile to match his muscular physique. Dominant and pointed canines become the cornerstone of the smile and shape its personality. I love designing smiles that have charm and character!

Nothing I love more than an amazing dental case study! In this week’s analysis, we’re delving into the transformation of a gummy smile with a smaller set of teeth. Brace yourself for an INCREDIBLE before-and-after journey. For this specific case, we opted for upper and lower veneers, coupled with laser gum recontouring to ensure a natural fit.
