Mrs. Palazzo had older crowns that had served her well for many years. She was unhappy with the 'dark lines at the gum' and the color of her teeth.

We sedated Mrs. Palazzo and prepared all of her top teeth for new porcelain crowns.

'I never knew how much this would improve the way I feel about myself-" were her comments at her last check-up.

Approximate cost: $15000.

Longevity: 10+ years.

JoAnne had severe wear on her old denture. The gum had begun to change color, the denture was very loose, and her bottom remaining teeth were severely decayed and worn.

A new upper denture was fabricated, and a new 'over denture' made. Two of the lower teeth were treated with root canals and 'ball joints' were placed to 'lock' the lower denture into place while in use. In addition, we placed two implants in her lower jaw to help stabilize and hold the denture.

Dentures can be some of the most beautiful of dental restorations.

Charles had a history of HEAVY tooth clenching, and multiple lost teeth as a youth.  His bite was off, and he was having problems wearing his partial dentures. 

We Completed what is known in dentistry as a 'Full Mouth Rehab', correcting his bite, replacing his teeth, and improving his ability to function dramatically.

This involved multiple Crowns, Multiple bridges, and a bite splint, to help him get used to a new bite.

Cheryl was unhappy with her smile. She was in the process of a rigorous 'total health makeover', including fitness, diet and spirit.

Ray had experienced severe dental neglect. In addition he was a habitual SODA drinker, sipping 2-3 20oz sodas daily. In two visits we transformed his smile, utilizing Root Canals, Crowns, and gum recontouring. We also recommended cleanings every 3 months, home fluoride treatment, oral hygiene improvement, and cold turkey on the SODAS! Restoring someone's smile in a pain-free, comfortable manner, and improving their self-image is a very rewarding part of modern dentistry.

Chris was unhappy with his lower crowded front teeth.

With clear brackets, we straightened his smile. The entire process took only 6 months!

In a little over 6 months we straightened and whitened his smile.

Anya had 'bonding' done over and over again for 10 years. She reported that it was constantly getting stained, and keeping her from smiling, as she was becoming very conscious of her discolored teeth.

We combined the use of 2 veneers, and 2 all ceramic crowns to give her a beautiful new smile.

This patient had very small, discolored teeth. The patient underwent orthodontics to correct the spaces, and composite resin (white filling material) was veneered over his front teeth to help alleviate the patients esthetic concerns. Ultimately these will be replaced with all-porcelain veneers, but in the meantime, provide a nice alternative to what nature gave him.

Cost: Approximately $2500

Tim spent 30 years with 'spaces' in his smile. He made an appointment on a Thursday stating he was planning to attend a high school class reunion two days later, and didn't want to go without correcting his smile.

In less that an hour, we had placed white filling material, commonly known as 'bonding', on two of his 'crooked' teeth. We also reshaped the uneven teeth in his smile with simple enameloplasty (technical for 'filed them down slightly').

Bonding typically lasts 3-7 years before needing replacement.

Approximate cost: $800

Approximate cost $175
