Porcelain crown of the day
This patient had an old porcelain crown and was not happy with the esthetics, and came to me for a cosmetic consultation to improve the look of his front tooth. He was unhappy with the “black next to the gums and the square shape” of the crown and wanted me to make him a new better looking crown. I removed his old crown and cleaned up the decay that was under it and made him a beautiful, perfectly matched front porcelain crown.
complete upper denture case
In this case today, a lady came to me as an emergency with a broken old upper denture. I was able to temporarily repair her upper denture, use it as a custom tray, take the final impression, and make her a new nice fitting brand new upper denture in just a few days. She used the old denture while we made her a new one.
dental implant case of the day
For this patient, I replaced his missing upper left canine tooth with a dental implant.

This patient was unhappy with his 2 upper front teeth and as a result was reluctant to smile. I placed 2 porcelain crowns.
decay under an old crown
This patient had been taking medications for depression and allergies causing dry mouth. As a result he developed decay under an old crown. I was able to save the tooth by removing the old crown, cleaning out the decay, and placing a new beautiful all porcelain crown.
bone graft of the day
This patient had a broken down, infected, non-restorable molar. Today I extracted the tooth, cleaned out the infection, and grafted the socket. Following 3 months of healing we will place an implant.
cosmetic restorative case of the day
This patient fell and hit his mouth on the sidewalk, cutting his lip and fracturing his upper central incisor tooth. I restored the tooth with a root canal, composite build-up, and porcelain crown. Here are the before and after pictures.
implant of the day
This broken tooth was extracted and I replaced it with a Zimmer Biomet Encode implant. Looks fantastic!!! I was very pleased with the results, and the patient was very happy.
cavity of the day
This patient has decay on her molars caused by dry mouth from her medication Spironolactone, which she takes for acne. It clears up her face nicely, but with less saliva to clean off and protect her teeth, cavities form.
