Missing Teeth

This woman was not happy about the esthetics of her teeth, as well as wanted dental implants to replace two missing teeth. Her existing dentistry was very discolored and had decay around many of her teeth from the poorly done previous dental treatment. She also had several old fillings which were deteriorating rapidly. After placing a dental implant and restoring her teeth with a combination of Composite Resin and Zirconia Invision Porcelain Restorations, the appearance of her smile and her facial changes were dramatically enhanced giving her the smile she has always wanted! She absolutely loves how her teeth now look and constantly smiles with confidence.

This woman was not happy with the appearance of her teeth and did not like having a full upper denture. She was having trouble speaking and chewing her food because her lower teeth were worn down and not treated properly at a specialist she previously went to. She also had numerous dental implants placed in her upper jaw by an oral surgeon but the implants were not placed in the correct position making it almost impossible to place permanent teeth in the proper functioning position. After a lengthy course of treatment involving rebuilding her lower teeth with All-Ceramic Crowns and Porcelain-to-Gold Bridges, followed by using Custom-Made Gold Abutments to support her permanent Porcelain-to-Gold Implant Bridges, her smile, ability to chew, and speak properly have been properly corrected and she is absolutely thrilled with the result!

This 9 year old child was unfortunately born with only 13 permanent teeth; most of them malformed and smaller than normal. He was also born with multiple smaller than normal baby teeth. In addition, his teeth did not meet properly when he closed his mouth. Due to his young age, permanent dentistry could not be done until he stopped growing when he was a teenager. Once he stopped growing, his teeth were restored with a combination of Dental Implants and Implant Crown, Lava All-Ceramic Crowns, and Veneers. The end result is absolutely amazing and he continually smiles all the time now because of his new and radiant smile!

This woman lost her upper right lateral incisor and did not want a dental implant or a conventional fixed bridge to replace the missing tooth.   An ultra-conservative All-Porcelain Bonded Bridge was used to perfectly replace her missing tooth.   A close-up of her smile shows just how excellent a match we were able to achieve in replacing her missing tooth without "grinding down" her adjacent teeth.

This woman was very self-conscious about her smile because of her missing tooth.   Rather than undergo a conventional "bridge" to replace the missing tooth, a more conservative and highly-aesthetic Porcelain Veneer-to-Resin  "framework bridge" was placed which restored her smile.   Without knowing which tooth was replaced, it would be impossible to tell.   This is conservative Cosmetic Dentistry at its finest!
