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.

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.
