Smile Transformations.
Doug was tired of his teeth chipping.
Doug was aware of his teeth and old restorations chipping, but he was unaware of why. An underlying grinding habit and non-ideal bite, or malocclusion, were contributing to premature breakdown of his teeth and strain on his jaw joints. By comprehensively addressing his grinding, malocclusion, and TMJs, we were able to establish a healthy foundation which later allowed for predictable restoration of his worn smile.
Christine was embarrassed to smile.
Christine spent years smiling with her lips closed. She was resigned to the thought that she would lose her teeth at a young age from breakage. Dr. Therese worked with her to uncover a vision she never thought possible, and through careful planning the destructive pattern of tooth breakdown was halted and reversed. With the collaboration of a highly skilled orthodontist, Christine and Dr. Therese recreated the smile that had been hidden for so many years.
Ann was sick of her bulky front tooth.
A discolored and poorly contoured front tooth. Spacing, staining, and rotations. Ann was unhappy for years, but not enough to do anything. As part of Dr. Therese’s journey towards becoming an accredited cosmetic dentist, Ann decided it was time to finally take a leap. Subtle correction of disproportionate front teeth, addition of length and fullness to her smile, and just enough brightness to make it pop were all that was needed to bring her sparkle back.
Dave wished he did something sooner.
Dave was aware for years that his front teeth were chipping and wearing. He was told by his old hygienist that he should consider getting a night guard to protect his teeth, and regretted not listening to her. He came to Dr. Therese with a goal of lengthening his short front teeth, and left with a smile that looks, feels, and functions properly again.
Bob lived with stained teeth for years.
Bob had enamel defects in his teeth since childhood. This left him with a discolored smile despite his excellent oral hygiene. Because professional whitening was not an option to correct this staining, they had to be masked with expertly crafted bonded composite. For the first time in his adult life, Bob had a great looking smile to match his personality.
Kathy couldn’t eat & hated her under-bite.
Kathy looked 20 years older than she felt. Poorly designed dental prosthetics weren’t supporting her lips properly, and resulting in a sunken-in, nearly toothless looking smile. By designing her new smile to harmonize with her face, not only was she able to eat more comfortably, but she regained confidence and a youthful glow.
