Titanium or Zirconia?

Immediate or delayed?

Here are 2 immediate tissue level Zirconia implants. By placing these implants immediately we are able to complete treatment for this patient in 1 appointment versus 2. We can also
maintain the natural contours of gum and bone around where the future teeth will be.

The power of porcelain!

Most dentists and lab technicians get a little nervous when they see a single front tooth that needs repair. The reason is that matching a single front tooth is one of the most challenging things we do in dentistry. Especially when patient expectations are high.

In this case we have an 80yr old patient who is unhappy with the discoloration of her left front tooth, and wants to improve her smile. If you look closely you can see multiple craze lines, a range of shades, and a complexity of opacity and translucency.

The most predictable way to improve tooth shade and match the character of the adjacent teeth is with a porcelain veneer. It also helps to have a master ceramist/artist like .hebertcdt

The patient is thrilled with the result! I hope you like it too.

I stumbled upon this photo sent to me a by a patient, and hesitated to post it.

Im sharing it because I feel it communicates the personal side of what we do in dentistry.

As a dentist there are a lot of ways that I help people maintain the health and longevity of their teeth, but for me there few things that feel better than receiving messages and photos from patients who are out in the world confidently enjoying their beautiful and healthy smiles!

Debating our weekend plans.

Is the long weekend an opportunity to keep working and move things forward or a time to rest and enjoy time off?

4 veneers to replace composite bonding, restore broken edges, and improve color.

This patient had done composite veneers 2 times but found they would discolor and break in a short time. He finally decided to do porcelain veneers this time and he is thrilled with the result!
