Photo Album - Veneers
This beautiful young lady was the victim of an unfortunate accident. Her mother is a dental assistant and had heard about our work and wanted us to restore her smile. We restored her front four teeth with empress veneers and her Mom told us she looked better than before the accident. They were ecstatic!
This patient’s front teeth had noticeable white stains after braces, additionally the leading edges of the front teeth arched upward creating a reverse line in relation to her natural lip smile line. In other words; her eye teeth appear longer than her front teeth. This type of case is very challenging. The slightest imperfection, because of the high smile line, will be evident.
We bleached her teeth and restored her front four teeth with Empress veneers. The result is a very pleasant outcome and a very happy patient.
The stress of college exacerbated a bruxing habit leaving this young patient’s teeth short and chipped from the wear. We restored her upper six front teeth with veneers and will replace the lower six in the near future. She now wears a night guard appliance to protect her beautiful teeth.
This was a very rewarding case. This young patient had a large diastema and did not want to have surgery to remove the low frenum muscle and braces to correct the problems. I wasn’t sure if doing veneers would create teeth that were too wide. We did a mock-up of the teeth with bonding and it looked fine so we restored the anterior four teeth with Empress Porcelain veneers. This is one of those cases that changed the patient’s life, it was extremely gratifying!
This case demonstrates the devastating effect excessive amounts of soda can have on enamel. The erosion of this patient’s enamel is from the sugary and acidic nature of these drinks. Eight teeth had to be restored with veneers as a result.
Another high smile line accentuates the recession of the already long eye teeth in this case.
We bleached the teeth, replaced the bonding at the gum line of her eye teeth and veneered her front four teeth lengthening them to match her eye teeth. This is an extremely difficult case because the patient has already shown a propensity for gum recession. Our restorations had to be done with great care not to cause further recession. The results speak for themselves. You may even recognize this smile on television!

This young man came to us complaining that his front teeth were to long. At first glance you may agree. However, following a thorough examination we determined the problem was actually the lateral incisors. They were too short, leaving a dark space when he smiled. We did a mock-up with bonding to confirm our diagnosis, and then we bleached his teeth and restored his laterals with veneers. My lab of 25 years loves these cases because it challenges their creative ability to match these multi colored teeth. They did a great job and the patient and his fiancé were ecstatic! No more dark spaces in his smile.
Excessive wear and chipping in this young Mother prompted her to ask if there was anything we could do to restore her teeth to a more natural appearance.
We bleached her teeth to brighten them and placed veneers on the four front teeth.
She now wears a night guard every night to protect them from bruxing.
This patient’s bonding had become stained and chipped. It was placed many years ago to move the front teeth out after they had been pushed back in an accident. This case required very little drilling on the actual teeth. We removed the old bonding, bleached her teeth and placed veneers on her two front teeth.

What a challenging case on this young lady! She fell and damaged several teeth as you can see. To make things worse she was leaving the country in just a few days for a summer internship. We had to decide if we could get an adequate result restoring the teeth as they were or canceling her trip to allow us time to reposition the left central with braces.
We decided to place a temporary veneer on the left central and evaluate the result. When she saw the temporary it was easy for her to decide that she didn’t need to cancel her trip.
We ended up having to do a root canal on the left front tooth, then we restored five of the front six teeth with veneers. Can you tell which tooth is her natural tooth?
The after photos were taken when she retuned from her trip. Special thanks go to Chris Hale at Champion Crown and Bridge, my wonderful lab of over 20 years. Nice job guys!
What a dramatic change for this patient. We replaced her old bonding of more than 30 years with some beautiful Empress veneers.
She is ecstatic. Now we are helping her husband.
