Smile Gallery: Dental Implants

This patient is getting married in 2 weeks and wants to improve her smile.  We started with Zoom whitening.  Then we placed an implant to replace a missing canine.  Today we shaped her existing teeth for porcelain crowns, and delivered a custom-made temporary crown/bridge for her to wear during her wedding.  

After the wedding and honeymoon, she will return for us to evaluate the temporary, make any requested adjustments, and then have her porcelain crowns made.  We'll post the 'after' photo at that point!!  But so far it looks great.

This patient had been wearing a removable partial denture for years and was not happy with it. He complained of it moving while he chewed, and said he could not eat many of the foods that he enjoyed. After careful planning, 5 mini dental implants were placed, and a custom bridge was cemented into place. He is now able to chew food again on that side, and he does not have to worry about removing his teeth at night before bed. He called the day after the implants were placed to let us know he was on his way out ...
