Smiles on Hampton - Dr. Amber Rowe, DDS

Thankful to work with two amazing dental assistants - Jenni & Kyara! 🥰

Dental assistants do so much more than hand instruments. They notice the patient gripping the armrest. They talk you through it. They hold your hand when the needle comes out. Most patients never learn their name. 🦷💛 Tag a dental assistant who deserves to hear: we notice you.

Today, I replaced a fractured porcelain veneer originally placed at another office. Take a closer look at the second slide and see how beautifully the new veneer blends with the patient’s natural teeth! 🤩🦷❤️

Custom shade matching and exceptional lab work make all the difference in creating a natural, harmonious smile. 👏🏻🦷

Hard to believe I graduated just over 10 years ago and now coming up on almost 5 years of business ownership 🤯🦷👩🏻‍⚕️ What a ride it’s been! I can say I truly love what I do and can’t picture myself with any other career!

🦷👑 Which one is the crown?❓

Replacing a single tooth when there are variations in value, hue, chroma, and even crowding can be a true challenge. The goal? Creating a crown that blends seamlessly with the natural teeth around it. ✨

This case required careful attention to detail, custom shading, and a talented dental laboratory partner to bring the final result to life. So thankful to work with such a wonderful lab! 🙌

It’s time to officially spill the news..please help us congratulate and wish a happy retirement to our amazing hygienist, Melanie! 🥹🥳🎉
We surprised her last week with some fake patients on the schedule and rented a luxury van to go out to celebrate. ☺️🥂
Melanie has been with us for 30 years! I can’t begin to explain what an honor it has been to work with such an all around wonderful human being. Hard working, dependable, and friendly. We will miss you, Melanie! Wishing you all the best in this next chapter of life! You deserve it! ❤️

Composite bonding was placed on my patient’s peg laterals to provide a more balanced smile. No needles, no drilling involved!

Okay, here is the official before/after photo from the case I posted yesterday. 🤯 My patient always wanted veneers, but I knew we could make some magic happen through a combination of orthodontics, gum reshaping, and a little whitening. So happy with the results! Huge shout out to the fabulous orthodontic work by Modern Orthodontics 😁

Laser gum sculpting for the win! ✨😁

This patient was concerned about a gummy smile that became more noticeable after traditional orthodontic treatment. With laser gum recontouring, we were able to create a more balanced, confident smile—all with precision and minimal discomfort.

New smile transformation in progress 🚧🦷✨
Every great smile starts with a plan! This diagnostic wax-up lets us preview the final veneer design and create a beautifully balanced smile.

➡️ Next stop: Implant placement on the upper right. 🙌🏼

This case is a true full-mouth transformation involving a surgical extraction, multiple crown replacements, posterior crossbite correction (already complete here!), laser gingivectomy, cleaning, whitening, new fillings, an implant, and veneers.

Cases like this are why I love dentistry—bringing together surgery, restorative, esthetics, and function to create healthy, confident smiles, all in one office by one dentist - yours truly. 🫶🏼👩🏻‍⚕️✨
