A full mouth reconstruction to rebuild the worn down teeth, rebuild the bite, and create a beautiful and healthy smile.
These reconstructions are done using a combination of porcelain crowns, partial crowns, and sometimes veneers.
Those restorations are all the same, the difference is how much of the tooth they cover. We use whatever is best to achieve the functional and aesthetic goals for each tooth, and depends on the condition of the tooth as well.
My patients normally ask that I do what is best for them, and so I make that decision based on what our goals are, and what we are trying to achieve.
I’ve honed a very specific workflow using advanced digital technology like virtual jaw tracking and digital intra oral scanning over the past 10 years to successfully complete these procedures accurately, predictably, and efficiently for my patients. It’s an exciting time, because those workflows get tweaked on a regular basis with the advancements we are seeing in technology and having our lab in house definitely helps us make sure it’s all done to the uncompromising quality we are aiming for.

There were many things she didn't like about her smile: the color, the shape of the teeth, and old restorations that had discolored and stained over time. It just didn't fit into her facial aesthetics like she knew her smile could. And so she came to see me for a smile makeover. I restored her 10 upper and 10 lower teeth with porcelain veneers, creating a natural smile where her teeth look real and beautiful, blending in with her lips and face, adding to her own beauty.

The gums are an important part to consider even with cosmetic treatments like veneers. It's important that the gums are healthy and that, if they require treatment, that treatment is done before the veneers are placed.

The second aspect to that is how the veneers allow the gums to continue to be healthy over time. Well-fitting veneers that are made to fit accurately to the teeth and around the gums, when properly maintained, should not cause gum inflammation. We make sure that when we are assessing the outcomes of our treatment, we are not only assessing how the teeth look but also how they blend in with the gums. They are designed in a way that allows our patients to keep their teeth and gums healthy long term

She wanted a smile that looked like hers…
10 hand crafted porcelain veneers to enhance her smile in a way that blends in beautifully and naturally within her lips and face.

After years of fillings and staining and not quite being happy with her smile, we restored with 10 porcelain veneers to create a beautiful and harmonious smile. Fuller, brighter, but still uniquely hers.

Full reconstruction for this lovely lady. These transformations are challenging, but they are why we love doing what we do. Nothing more rewarding than seeing the impact something t like this has. Bringing back health and confidence. Fixed teeth using upper and lower dental implants. Truly life changing.

Same person.. but different?? It’s still mind blowing to me how impactful a smile can have on someone. This is why we do what we do. Grateful to be able to help people the way we do.

I’m feeling grateful for the BC Dental Study Club community we have created. With now 5000 active members, it’s been amazing to see this grow. Dentistry is a tough profession to be in, and being part of this supportive group has been a real game changer. I feel like it’s made my entire career more enjoyable.

What started as just some webinars, has now grown into an organization of like minded dental professionals learning together and improving how they treat their patients.

Just this month, we did the live surgery module of our one year implant program where 16 dentists from all over the province placed implants on their patients with supervision and guidance from specialists. It was inspiring to see them put the knowledge they had learned over the year into practice.

Whether it’s the comprehensive implant training program, or our many hands on workshops, our social dinners, or the monthly webinars, we have together created something for everyone. Grateful to our team, faculty, and every one of our members for making our profession a better place!

This was a complex full mouth reconstruction using a variety of different restorations for this patient. The upper teeth were not restorable due to pre-existing failing restorations and bone loss. They were all removed, six implants were placed, and the upper teeth were restored with a fixed implant bridge.
The lower teeth were mostly still salvageable so we were able to restore the lower teeth using crowns and bridges in addition to replacing one missing tooth with an implant

The six upper implants were placed using a digital workflow where everything was planned virtually in advance for the most predictable and accurate outcomes. We used an innovative workflow which included selective extractions to allow for the seating of a tooth-supported guide so the implants could go in fully guided in the most accurate way possible. The remaining teeth would be extracted once the implants were in their final position.

Four months after implants were placed — and we confirmed that everything had healed successfully, we proceeded in making the final upper fixed zirconia bridge

We used a digital photogrammetry workflow, which is currently the most precise and accurate technology to capture the implant positions in relationship to one another, ensuring a passively fitting final restoration on the implants. It's exciting to be part of these truly innovative and cutting-edge digital workflows and technologies, which make these complex reconstructions more predictable and of higher quality

Photogrammetry really is a game changer when it comes to full arch implants because of its ability to more predictably achieve accurate capture of the implants in relationship to one another. It reduces the complication of achieving passively fitting restorations, which in the past used to be one of the more complex and difficult aspects of these treatments.

This is a final monolithic zirconia bridge with pink layering and staining to achieve the optimal aesthetics with the right workflows and planning. We can go from A to Z with very few surprises

During that process we also restored the lower teeth with crowns and bridges to completely rehabilitate the mouth, restoring function

Small details make the difference between a good result and a natural one.

This patient was looking to close the gaps (black triangles between her teeth) and refine the shape, length, and proportions of her upper front teeth which we accomplished with four porcelain veneers.

Localized restorative treatment. Restoring only the front four teeth after a gum lift procedure.
Blending in to the rest of the dentition.
When we are only restoring a localized area, our goal is not to create a perfect smile but to get the teeth we are restoring to blend in harmoniously and seamlessly with the rest of the existing smile as it is. That is the difference between localized restorative treatment, where the goal is to blend in with what is already there, compared to a smile makeover or smile enhancement, where we are making more significant changes to things

The result you see at the end is decided long before the final appointment.

This patient came to us wanting to improve the shape and proportions of his front teeth and refine the color for an enhanced yet natural looking smile. We were able to do this with four anterior porcelain veneers.

The process, step by step:
1) A digital design to map out the final smile before any treatment begins
2) A mock-up taken from that design, used to guide how much we need to prepare the teeth
3) Temporary restorations, so the smile can be tested and lived with before anything is permanent
4) The final porcelain veneers, made to match the plan we set from the start

Over the years you build a workflow. A way of doing things that comes from experience, intuition, repetition, and from all the cases that taught you something along the way. But no two patients are the same. The real skill is holding onto that workflow while staying flexible enough to shape it around the person in front of you.

That balance is where the final result lives.

A conservative approach, a healthy foundation, and a smile that looks like it was always meant to be there.
