Smile Gallery: Cosmetic Dentistry

This patient came to our office and her main concern was that she was very unhappy with her smile. The patient did not like the crowding in her upper teeth and how several teeth in the front were different colors. We did some cosmetic work on the four upper front teeth to give the patient the beautiful smile she wanted. The patient was ecstatic!

This patient's main concern when she first came into the office was that she did not like how dark her front tooth was compared to the rest. In addition, the patient had never whitened her teeth before and felt like they used to be whiter in the past. We first did in-office whitening on her until she was happy with the result and then we placed a crown on the front tooth that perfectly matched her newly whitened teeth. What a big change for the patient!

This patient initially presented to Dr. Elkhechen with the concern that his teeth looked very short and dark. This patient was 78 years old and had done considerable damage to his teeth over the years due to excessive grinding which resulted in severe wear which cause the teeth to appear very short. The patient was very adamant that he wanted to try and keep his teeth. The patient's teeth were VERY close to not being salvagable. The patient understood he needed a full mouth reconstruction in order to give him any chance of keeping his teeth for any length of ...

This patient had come to me after 4 years of knowing her personally. She confided in me that she suffered from bulimia for many years prior. Bulimia is a debilitating disease and if it occurs for a substantial period of time, destroys the back of your upper teeth because the acid from vomiting erodes the healthy enamel away. The patient became very concerned when she started noticing that her two front teeth on the top were becoming shorter than the rest and she could tell they were eroding away. I really wanted to help her get her self-esteem and confidence ...

This patient had come to our office with main concern that he was very unhappy and embarassed about his smile. The patient did not like the discolored tooth in the front and the fact that he had large gaps in between the front teeth. The patient stated, "I hardly ever smile and it's difficult for me because I like to joke around, but I don't feel like doing it much because of my teeth." It was heartbreaking to hear the patient say that. In order to give the patient the beautiful smile he wanted, we placed a couple crowns and ...

This patient presented to the office with the main concern being that her lower front teeth are much darker than the upper front teeth and they look old and worn down. In order to bring happiness to the patient, we placed crowns on the lower front teeth to protect the worn down teeth and match the color of the upper front teeth. The patient was very happy with the result.

This patient was a 25 year old sweet, shy girl when she first came to the office and met Dr. Elkhechen. The patient was very unhappy and uncomfortable with her smile. The patient stated "I am so embarrassed of my teeth and I am not happy because I don't want to smile. I want to be able to smile again." As you can see in the "Before" picture, the patient had small, discolored teeth with a chalky appearance, a very deep overbite, and uneven gum levels. In order to give the patient the smile she had been wanting for a ...

This is the exact same patient as the previous "Before and After" picture except this is taken from more of a side view to show the incredible difference a beautiful smile can make. After the treatment, at a followup visit, the patient was asked how she felt? Her response was, "Having this beautiful smile feels like a dream."

This patient came to our office with many different concerns and dental problems especially on his upper teeth. He had some broken teeth that could not be saved, teeth that were really brittle, teeth that were too small, gums that were very uneven when he smiled, etc.....The patient has always been aware that he has not been happy with his smile, but recently had become very self-concious of his smile. In order to give the patient the smile of his dreams, we performed a smile transformation through a full mouth reconstruction. The patient was amazed and very grateful for the ...

This patient had some trauma to his upper front teeth when he was younger and the nerve in one of his upper front teeth ended up dying which left the tooth very dark and discolored. The patient was 19 years old when he had the accident. In just one hour in the dental chair, the patient had a brand new outlook on smiling when he saw his new tooth for the first time. The patient stated, "Wow, that looks great! I had that dark tooth for 25 years and never smiled fully." The patient had a huge smile as ...

This patient had multiple esthetic concerns for a long time that included discoloration of the front tooth, spacing in between the two front teeth, and proportionally smaller upper lateral incsiors. The patient never committed to treatment in the past because she was afraid about the final outcome might look like and how invasive the procedure might be. Listening very closely to the patient, I came up with a treatment option that would take care of the patient's esthetic concerns in one appointment, without cutting into her teeth. We placed 4 veneers using tooth colored filling material on the upper front ...

Pt is a young guy who initially came to the office and stated that he doesn't like the gap he has in between two teeth. Patient stated that he never felt comfortable with the gap, but never really tried to address it because he wasn't sure what options were available. Once the patient realized that we could do some very conservative bonding veneers that required NO removal of tooth structure and that it would require no anesthetic, the patient was ecstatic. The treatment was completed within 45 minutes and the patient was very happy as it was natural and you ...

This patient came to the office with one of her biggest complaints being that she didn't like her front teeth because they were discolored. The patient had large existing fillings on her two front teeth that were failing. Also, her front 4 teeth did not have correct proportions of length to width, which made them a natural appearance. In order to help fix the problem of the two front teeth with large failing fillings and create the proper proportions and dimensions for a beautiful and natural smile, we placed 4 crowns on the upper front 4 teeth

Patient initially presented to the office with a missing front tooth on the upper arch. Patient wore a removable partial denture for many years to act as a replacement for that front tooth but hated the partial denture because it was very bulky and unnatural . Patient stated that his main concern is that he wants to have a great smile and that he rarely smiles because he really doesn't like what he sees and is self- concious about it. Patient did not have any bone available for an implant and the patient specifically stated that he did not want ...
