A smile is worth a thousand words

We had a patient come in with a missing front tooth. It was knocked out when he was 16 years old and on vacation. We were able to make a bridge instead of a partial. We only had to take tooth structure from the back of the tooth . He had never been given that option before. He left the office smiling!

Veneers Dazzle Patient

The patient came into our office desiring cosmetic treatment with sensitive teeth and a history of drinking soda and iced tea with lots of sugar. Her goal was to have the perfect smile with veneers. One of her fillings had fallen out. The patients teeth were so sensitive that she requested we only use plastic instruments on her. We used the Diagnodent Laser cavity detector. We discussed with the patient the option of composite veneers verses porcelain veneers. We offered cosmetic imaging so that the patient could see what she would look like with veneers. It will definitely be a life changing and dramatic transformation!
