A beautiful result for one of my favorite patients. It’s been a 2 year ortho journey with Invisalign. Patient had some existing fillings on laterals so I had to wrap the veneer a little bit but still keeping it very conservative. Two centrals had existing crowns with severely overprepped teeth, so we had to build them up. The tissue around temporary crown responded very well and I didn’t have to deal with any bleeding during cementation. The restorations were done in lithium disilicate (emax). The arch looks a lot more harmonious, even the shape of the smile is more relaxed and not flat. So happy to have made this patient happy :) Conservative dentistry, dental crowns and dental veneers

Attended an oral cancer symposium with my incredible hygienist Marylin. Dentistry is often viewed as separate from “medicine” — almost like its own isolated field. But conferences like this are a reminder that we are absolutely part of healthcare, and often one of the first lines of defense in detecting serious disease.

Oral cancer screenings are not just “checking the mouth.” Dentists truly save lives. Many patients see their dentist more regularly than their physician, which means we are often the first to notice subtle tissue changes, suspicious lesions, or early warning signs.

What struck me during oral cancer symposium was this message: “Take ownership of this disease entity.” That responsibility matters. By the time some oral cancers are discovered medically, they may already be advanced Stage IV disease. When identified early during a routine dental exam, the prognosis and survival rates are dramatically better.

Dentists are not separate from healthcare — we are partners in it. Prevention, early detection, and patient education are all part of saving lives.

Not everything requires ortho, crowns or veneers. We did a quick mockup for the patient to see the big difference resin cane make, and the final result did not disappoint. There was zero tooth structure removed. We used an injectable technique method that is always predictable and less time consuming. Ask us next time you are at our office :)
