The work
Every case.
Real patients, real cosmetic dentistry. The full smile, the close up, and the retracted view on each one. This is the standard you would be learning to produce.
Amy
Amy wanted to close spaces, improve symmetry, reduce the facial flair, and whiten her smile, while keeping tooth reduction to a minimum. Because of the spacing, I could place more additive veneers in those areas and on the bicuspids, with only slight reduction on the centrals and cuspids. The result is a broader, more symmetrical smile that blends back to the molars and brightens the whole smile.

Angelica
Angelica came in with longtime concerns about discoloration and wear. She had seen that we offer no-prep, or +Veneers, and wanted to know if she was a candidate. She was, so we went ahead with the +Veneer process: no anesthetic, no long-term temporary, and strategic, subtle contouring of the staining and wear. She ended up with the natural color she was after and a more proportional smile.

Danika
Danika did pageants when she was younger and had bonded veneers placed that had started to chip and stain. She wanted to keep the same size and shape but brighten her smile and make it look more vital and long lasting. We removed the composite carefully, without reducing any more tooth structure, and mimicked the original shape and size for a brighter, better-proportioned result.

Jayme
Jayme had always been bothered by staining, old bonding, and the size of her teeth, and she assumed nothing could be done about her gummy smile. We talked through a gum lift alongside minimal-prep veneers, and she liked that plan. We worked with our periodontist for the gum lift, then placed the minimal-prep veneers. The result improved her smile proportion, tooth shape and size, gave her less of a gummy smile, and whiter teeth overall.

Lauren
Lauren had old porcelain on her centrals and bonding on her laterals. She came in wanting just those four teeth restored, but once we went through the options together she preferred the comprehensive plan. We did gum contouring on the centrals and the left cuspid, with restorations extending to the bicuspids, and left her natural posterior contours alone at her request. After removing the old porcelain and bonding and contouring the tissue, we placed no-prep veneers on the posterior teeth. The finish improved her proportions and gave her a smile that follows her lips and facial features.

Malick
Malick had seen the work we did on his wife and wanted something similar, but with no-prep, or +Veneers, and a more masculine, in his words 'square' smile. We did a test-drive smile over his existing teeth, made some adjustments, and once he liked the preview we used it for the final restorations. Because this was a +Veneer case, there was no anesthetic, no long-term temporary, and no tooth reduction. He finished with the bright, powerful smile design he wanted.

Margaret
Over the years Margaret had been through a lot of dental work, orthodontics, bonding, and recurrent decay. Past consults had told her she was not a good veneer candidate because of her bite. She came in hopeful but wanted to be sure of the result, so we showed her a test-drive smile she could even FaceTime with family. She liked it and asked for a few changes. After adjusting the preview, we took photos and scans of it for the final restorations. In the end we removed the old bonding, gave back the tooth structure she had lost, and created a natural color to match her facial tone.

Maria
Maria came to me from Colombia with old bonding and a wish for brighter teeth. Looking at her smile, I could tell we could get there with little or no tooth reduction. The old bonding needed to be replaced, but everything else was minimal to no-prep veneers. She got the brighter smile and improved proportions she was looking for.

Milinda
Milinda already had a nice smile but wanted better symmetry, size, and color, and she wanted the +Veneer process without any tooth reduction. She had an old composite on a lateral that needed replacing, but otherwise she was a good candidate for the no-prep treatment. We used a preview smile to settle on the best size, shape, and contour, then used it as the blueprint for the final restorations. The result improved her tissue, her tooth color, and the balance of her smile.

Samantha
Samantha had her wedding coming up and had always been self-conscious about her smile. She wanted it to look great for the wedding and beyond, and she liked the smiles she had seen from us on social media. At her consult I recommended a gum lift and minimal-prep veneers to balance the symmetry of her smile with the rest of her face. We worked with our periodontist to get the tissue balance right, then placed the minimal-prep veneers, blending the teeth into a natural, even result.
