Life-Changing Results with a Fixed Hybrid Zirconia Bridge

We discussed options, including a new partial denture, a full denture, or a fixed hybrid bridge. The treatment plan included the extraction of all remaining upper teeth, placement of six dental implants, and a fixed hybrid zirconia bridge on multi-unit abutments.

This patient came to me with upper front teeth that were small, severely worn, and had noticeable spaces. He wanted a smile that looked natural, balanced, and bright.

Transforming a Smile with Crowns and Veneers

We considered tooth-colored bondings versus porcelain restorations. The treatment plan included using a Kois deprogrammer to relax his jaw muscles, KoR teeth whitening, composite resin to restore worn lower front teeth, and gum recontouring. Ultimately, we placed ten porcelain restorations, combining crowns and veneers, and provided a nightguard to protect against bruxism.

This patient came to me with several missing teeth, severe acid erosion, and a collapsed bite that made chewing very difficult. He wanted to restore both the function and the appearance of his smile.

Restoring Function and Aesthetics with Crowns and Bridges

We reviewed options including partial dentures, implants, and bridges. Using Digital Smile Design, I was able to show him a preview of his new smile before treatment began. The final plan included a combination of porcelain crowns and bridges on both the upper and lower teeth. Some restorations were done to rebuild the bite and chewing function, while others focused ...

This patient came to me with darkened teeth from tetracycline staining and misaligned upper front teeth with multiple large fillings. She wanted a brighter, more natural-looking smile that fit her age and facial features.

Transforming a Smile with Crowns and Veneers

We explored options, including whitening alone or whitening combined with crowns. The treatment included KoR teeth whitening, a digital smile preview to plan the final look, and eight porcelain restorations combining crowns and veneers. A nightguard was provided to protect the restorations from teeth grinding at night.

This case is a powerful example of how carefully designed crowns and veneers can dramatically ...

This patient came to me with chipped, worn, and severely discolored upper front teeth. They already had crowns on their back teeth, which meant one of the biggest challenges was making sure the new restorations blended naturally with the existing crowns. Because the front teeth were structurally compromised, porcelain crowns were the best treatment option to restore strength and appearance.

A Seamless Smile with Porcelain Crowns

I placed five porcelain crowns on the upper front teeth, carefully matching the color, shape, and translucency to the patient’s existing crowns. Through the use of digital photography and excellent communication with the dental lab, we ...

This patient presented with acid reflux, forward tongue posture, generalized tooth wear from nocturnal bruxism, minimal tooth display when smiling, and an anterior open bite where the upper and lower front teeth didn’t meet. He wanted a solution to restore both the function and appearance of his smile.

Restoring Smile Length and Function

After reviewing his options, we decided on restorative crowns for the upper front eight teeth. This approach allowed us to increase the length of the teeth, improve the bite, and enhance esthetics. A custom nightguard was provided to protect both his natural teeth and the new restorations from nocturnal ...

This patient came to us after years of frustration. Despite two rounds of orthodontic treatment as an adult, their teeth did not move as expected because some were fused to the jawbone. This led to a misaligned bite that caused severe wear on the front teeth. To make matters more challenging, acid reflux, nocturnal bruxism, and an uneven bite had further damaged their smile.

A Smile Restored with Full Mouth Reconstruction

At first, I tried conservative bonding on the upper front teeth, but it simply could not hold up against the patient’s bite issues. After careful planning, I completed a full mouth ...

This patient experienced a traumatic accident that resulted in the loss of their four upper front teeth. Naturally, this had a significant impact not only on function but also on confidence in their smile. We discussed several treatment options, including a conventional bridge, a removable partial denture, and dental implants. After reviewing the benefits of each, implants offered the most stable and natural-looking solution.

Restoring a Smile with an Implant-Supported Bridge

I placed two dental implants and used CAD/CAM custom abutments to ensure precision and a perfect fit. A zirconia bridge was then crafted to replace the missing teeth. The result was ...

This patient had a root canal-treated tooth that had a post and crown, which unfortunately broke off at the gumline. The goal was to restore function and create a natural-looking result.

Implant, Abutment, and Crown

After reviewing treatment options, we extracted the broken tooth and placed a dental implant with the help of Dr. Brenegan, our periodontist. I then restored the implant using a custom abutment and crown.

The result demonstrates how careful planning with CBCT 3-D imaging and digital bite scans can help the implant emerge naturally from the gums. The crown’s color was custom-matched in the lab to blend seamlessly with ...
