Testimonials

I just added some of the testimonials our office has received over the past year. We are always striving to make our patients comfortable and happy. Thanks for the wondeful remarks!

"Honestly, this was the most comfortable, relaxed visit I have ever had at a dentist office. I was immediately greeted when I entered and the entire staff from receptionist, dental assistant and dentist were extremely friendly and made what was my first visit to the office such a wonderful experience. I appreciate the clarity and straight truthfulness of work that is going to be done. Also, I really felt as if everyone cared about me and my dental health and was not just there for the business but rather to genuinely help people. I really appreciate it. " Kate H.

Cosmetic Cases

Here are a few of our recent cosmetic cases that we have done in our office.
This guy came in to us because his wife really wanted his smile improved. He is 80 years old, and has some old, broken down teeth and old crowns that needed to be replaced due to recurrent decay.


They only wanted to do the upper teeth for now, but will do the lowers down the road. They look so awesome now. They look so natural too.

The gums are a little inflamed in this photo because I had just finished removing the excess cement. When you look at those uppers, you can't tell they aren't natural. Pretty gorgeous, huh? Now to clean those lowers.



Another lady came in to our office to fix an old, ugly bridge. These crowns and the bridge are kind of common for what many labs and dentists do. They look bulky and very opaque. You can't see any transluscency at the incisal edge. They just scream out "fake"!
Don't they look like marshmallows stuck on the teeth?

The final product is so much better. They look so natural. The two teeth on the sides of what we did will be getting veneers down the road, but the 5 that we did look beautiful. She was extremely happy with the results.



This guy told us that he rarely smiles because of "The Grand Canyon going between my front teeth." I suggested braces to close the gap, but he didn't want to do orthodontics. We then decided to pursue crowns (veneers wouldn't have been stable enough).

I was really nervous that we weren't going to be able to close the space without the teeth looking like horse teeth. I also was afraid that we would have a "black triangle" between #8 and #9 due to insufficient gingiva. I worked closely with the lab on this case to make it turn out great.




The final product is phenomenal. He couldn't stop smiling.



His upper lip was still numb so you can't see his real smile accurately yet, but when he comes back in 3 weeks we will take a final photo. It's cases like this that make me so pumped to be a dentist.
