Before, she had broken down old bondings on her two front teeth. I removed them and cleaned up the decay underneath, without the need for root canals, and placed porcelain crowns. I made the new cosmetic crowns longer to touch her lower lip to fill out her smile, and curved the corners giving her a youthful, more feminine, beautiful smile.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!
I love the holidays. I get to see my patients who are away attending college when they return home to visit!!!
Chipped tooth of the day.
This patient chipped his front tooth when he was bumped into while drinking at a restaurant. The glass he was drinking from knocked into his tooth, fracturing off the corner. I repaired it in 15 minutes with a cosmetic composite bonded restoration.
A patient I made very happy and a very rewarding case for me.
This is why I became a dentist! To help people look and feel better. When I first saw her, she would never smile because she was embarrassed and uncomfortable with the way her teeth looked. She told me she just wanted to be happy and smile again. After I finisher her treatment you can see how wonderful, confident, and happy she looks. This is why I love being a dentist and why I go to work every day!!!
Dear Dr. Gentry, Thank you very much for fixing my teeth. You are the best dentist! You have made me able to smile again, and make me feel so good with my beautiful new teeth.
Sincerely, Marcella Giovannetti
