Anne
Anne was concerned with her worn, crowded teeth and wanted to know what she could do to change it. She also experienced muscular tension in her temples and jaws. She decided she wanted to address all these issues. She began treatment with a neuromuscular orthotic for her pain and headaches. Anne felt better almost immediately and was ready to have a permanent solution. After restoring her teeth with porcelain restorations, she realized how much she had been compromising over the years. In a later conversation, Anne told me she loved the way her teeth looked, but she really loved that she could eat again. She elaborated and said she never realized how compromised her eating became because of her teeth. She began eating things she could eat, not things that she wanted to eat. “I had a steak the other day and it was amazing. All I could eat before was soft, easy-to-chew foods like pasta, and I’m a dietitian!”
Holly
Holly came to us with failing dental work, vertigo, and TMJ pain. Her goal was to save her teeth for the rest of her life with a plan for the best health and cosmetics. She decided on TMJ appliance therapy and restorations for her plan. After her bite was stabilized with the appliance, she finalized her treatment with full mouth porcelain restorations. She now has achieved her goal, has an amazing smile, and is living pain free!
Heidi
Heidi came to us to for cosmetic options for her front teeth. She was not happy with size, shape, or color of her upper front teeth and wanted her smile to blend better. She decided on porcelain for her front four teeth and a guard for protection at night. She is so happy with her new smile!
Ann
Ann has been a long time patient and was very frustrated with chipping and breaking of her teeth. After further examination we also learned she was experiencing morning headaches along with neck and shoulder pain. Ann was given all her options and she decided on treatment with a neuromuscular orthotic. After a short time of wearing an orthotic to balance and relax her jaw posture and neck muscles, we rebuilt Ann’s teeth with porcelain so that she could function comfortably and not worry about her teeth chipping or breaking.
Heather
Heather suffered for years with TMJ pain, neck pain and migraines. She woke with daily neck and jaw pain. She never realized this was due to her jaw misalignment, she thought it was just because she was getting older. After she was treated with a neuromuscular orthotic and her pain went away, she wanted a permanent solution. We were able to give her a beautiful smile with permanent porcelain restorations. She is now living a pain-free life and only wished she would have done it sooner!
Grant
Grant came to us after several failed attempts at orthodontics. He was not happy with the alignment, shape and spacing in his upper and lower teeth. He was looking for a solution that did not involve orthodontics again. After discussing all his options, he opted for a combination of porcelain veneers and crowns on his upper and lower twelve teeth. Grant is extremely happy with his end result.
Jessica
Jessica came to us wanting a “beautiful smile that is symmetrical in size, color, shape and materials.” She had mismatched porcelain on her upper front teeth from different procedures done at different times. She has very high esthetic concerns and was anxious about the procedure. She wanted things done as quickly as possible with the best outcome. We were able to give her the smile that she was looking for.
Rich
Rich was interested in options to correct the discolored bonding and misshapen teeth he has had since he was a teenager. After just two visits and a combination of porcelain crowns and veneers he now has the confident smile he always wanted.
Barb
Barb was not happy with the mismatched color and different shapes of her upper front teeth. After discussing her options she decided on porcelain on her front 4 teeth. She is very pleased with the results and always has a smile on her face!
Jeff
Jeff was unhappy with his smile and failing dental work and wanted to know what options were available to him. We were able to improve his smile and treat the failing dental work at the same time, with a dental implant and combination of porcelain veneers and crowns. Jeff is very happy and can’t stop smiling!
Will
Will came to us concerned with the severe wear he had at such a young age. He also experienced pain in his jaw and migraines. We were able to relieve his pain and gave him back the youthful smile he desired with ten veneers.
Sandie
Sandie came to us to discuss what her options would be for veneers after her Invisalign treatment. She instead opted for instant orthodontics to get the immediate gratification she was looking for. Sandie completed her treatment in a just a few weeks and was able to enjoy her smile right away.
Deb
Deb came to us with concerns of chipping teeth, old dental work and severe wear that was putting strain on her jaw muscles, causing discomfort and pain. After thorough evaluation she decided that correcting her jaw posture with a neuromuscular orthotic was right for her. After wearing the orthotic to stabilize her jaw and testing to assure she was in a comfortable posture, we reconstructed her bite with porcelain and gave her the attractive smile she was looking for. We think the results are fantastic.
Mark
Mark came to our office with advanced dental disease, pain throughout his mouth, and other general health concerns. His condition was affecting his ability to eat healthy foods and he felt very frustrated and didn’t know what could be done. After thorough evaluation and discussion of his possibilities he decided on removing his teeth and replacing them with dental implant supported full-arch bridgework. The change in his smile and facial esthetics are fantastic. The biggest reward for Mark is that he can now eat the healthy foods he was missing and he has lost weight and significantly lowered his blood pressure. His general health has greatly improved and he feels and looks great. We are very proud to have been able to help in Mark’s healthy lifestyle changes.
Anna
Anna was experiencing discomfort from failing older dental work and recurrent decay in many of her teeth. She was also very concerned with how her poor oral condition could affect her overall health. After showing her the extent of the problem, she was worried about the prospect of many inconvenient visits to the dentist. We explained how her work could be done in as few visits as possible and would last her the rest of her life. We removed her old restorations and all of the decay. We placed some dental implants and restored everything with bonded all-ceramic crowns and veneers Her new smile is beautiful and she is pain free
Emily
Emily had healthy teeth and gums, but was a bit dissatisfied with the way her smile looked. We took a very conservative approach after analyzing her smile photos, deciding on minor gum sculpting and porcelain veneers on only her upper lateral incisors. We also did minor enamel reshaping on a few other front teeth. We love doing very conservative esthetic cases like Emily’s, that give great results with very little time commitment and cost to our patient.
Ben
Ben wanted to improve his smile. He had some misalignment, chipping and off color older restorations that he wasn’t happy with. We were able to get a great esthetic result for Ben using a combination of ceramic veneers and crowns. What a great smile he has!
Brooke
After extraction-based Orthodontic treatment in her early teens, Brooke suffered with TMD symptoms including muscular pain and headaches. Establishing a relaxed physiologic jaw posture supported by a neuromuscular orthotic relieved her symptoms. We then restored her comfortable bite using ceramic veneers and crowns with a great esthetic result.
Bob
Bob is a very healthy man who was referred to our practice with some very serious dental health issues. He was being treated for TMD with a Neuromuscular orthotic with success, but wanted to have the ability to eat whole foods and smile again. His history of severe bruxism was going to be a challenge.
After several root canals, surgical crown lengthening, a refined NM posture was recorded and his full mouth, all ceramic restorations and implants were created.Cathleen
Cathleen was searching for relief from severe tinnitus (ringing in the ears), blockage of the ears, jaw pain, and neck pain, all of which was the result of an undiagnosed TMJ disorder. With TMJ appliance therapy, we rid her of these symptoms that were significantly affecting her quality of life. Cathleen felt so amazing afterwards that she wanted a permanent solution to address her destructive bite which was causing all her original pain. With full mouth reconstruction, we restored Cathleen’s bite giving her proper lip and facial support and giving her the smile of her dreams! She is now pain-free and looks 10 years younger!
