Cosmetic reconstructive case of the day.
This patient is a 19 year old young man who suffered a seizure and passed out and smashed his face on a concrete sidewalk. He fractured his upper central incisors exposing the nerves. I was able to save the teeth with root canals, buildups, and porcelain crowns. These are the before and after pictures.
Crowns of the day
Here I made 2 porcelain crowns for this patients’ upper lateral incisors. The crowns filled out his smile nicely and look fantastic. Notice how large his upper central incisors looked before and how natural his upper teeth look after.
Here I made 4 porcelain crowns. His teeth are somewhat yellow, so I made the new crowns slightly lighter than the rest of his teeth to brighten up his smile.

Cosmetic smile case of the day
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.

Smile case of the day.
Two patient’s smiles I made happy today.
The first patient was concerned about his broken down front upper teeth and the gap between the teeth.
The next patient broke her lateral incisor tooth. It is very dark since it was traumatized and had a root canal many years ago.
Thank you letter from one of my patients last week :-)))
For 44 years, I have been practicing dental hygiene in Virginia. Recently I had to have a crown prep done on #8 and a replacement crown on #9. My first crown on #9 was stainless steel, placed at age 7 in 1958. Since then this tooth has had 14 replacement crowns that improved the appearance as dental materials progressed over the years.
My new ones though are the best I’ve ever had made. The contacts, size, shape, color & occlusion are perfect and needed no adjustments when they were delivered. I experienced no discomfort during the procedure, even while wearing the temporaries.
I have seen thousands of crowns & fillings by hundreds of dentists over my long career and Dr. Gentry’s work surpasses them all. He is extremely attentive to detail. The perfect fit and aesthetics are evident in every restoration he does. I have no reservations in recommending his work to family, friends & current patients. His sensitivity and approach while interacting with patients is a model for all individuals interested in entering the profession.
I truly feel he is deserving of the recognition equal to his daily accomplishments in the field of dentistry. As a dental hygienist with 44 years of private practice experience, I know who the best dentists are, and Dr. Gentry is one of the best!
I highly recommend Dr. Gentry. His dental work is the best I have seen.
Sincerely,

Fractured molar
This patient fractured the lingual side of his first molar tooth biting down on a Skittle candy. Dr. Gentry was able to restore the tooth with a porcelain crown and was able to avoid a root canal and crown lengthening periodontal surgery.
