I've known this young woman since she was about nine years old.
For years, she wanted to improve the size and spacing of her teeth. Now, as an adult, we finally had the opportunity.
Using composite bonding, we focused on improving the proportions of her front teeth while carefully blending the result with her natural smile.
Sometimes the challenge isn't how much you can change. It's knowing how much to change.
I'm very happy we could finally do this for her.

Carefully planned. Conservatively executed. Customized for her.

A smile transformation shouldn’t be about making someone look like somebody else. It’s about understanding what fits their face, their personality, and what they want to see when they smile.

Every detail was intentional. The shape, proportions, color, and how everything comes together naturally.

The goal was never just new teeth.

It was confidence.

His case was a fun challenge due to an early dental implant that impacted his facial aesthetics. I used my Brazilian creativity to design a smile that complemented his features while accommodating the implant's fixed position.

Staying true to my non-invasive approach, I handcrafted the teeth with composite resin and created a new implant crown using hybrid ceramic. While his gums are still healing, the results are already promising.

I’m grateful for the trust my clients place in me with their smiles. Each case is a reminder of the responsibility I hold, and I find a deep sense of purpose in trying to replicate the beauty of creation with my work.

Though God's perfection is unattainable by my human hands, I strive every day to get just a little closer and that gives me all the purpose I need to keep going.

As a BYU alumni, it is still perfectly fine to support the University of Utah—especially when you're cheering on someone with a stunning smile you helped create!

Best of luck to and their cheerleading team , starring the flying and smiling .

As always, I used a fully conservative, artistic approach, rebalancing her smile with composite resin directly applied and sculpted to the teeth without any need for removal of tooth structure.

No need to harm your natural tooth structure to enhance your smile!

➖It was a pleasure working with this client, who happens to be the spouse of another long-time patient ( and ). His case presented a fun challenge due to a dental implant placed early in his life. The position of the implant on the jawbone and its effect on facial aesthetics required a thoughtful approach. I had to tap into my Brazilian creativity to design a smile that harmonized with his facial structure while accommodating the fixed position of the implant.

As usual, I took a fully non-invasive route, handcrafting the teeth with composite resin. I also designed and created a new implant crown using hybrid ceramic, layering it with the same composite resin I used for the rest of the teeth. Though his gum tissue is still in the healing process, the results are already in line with our goals.

I am deeply grateful to anyone who trusts me with something as important as their smile. With each case, I feel the immense responsibility to deliver my very best. At the same time, these procedures bring me closest to God. There’s a sense of reverence in trying to replicate His creation with my human hands, eyes, mind, and materials. While I know I will never fully achieve perfection, I strive each day to get a little closer.

I’m incredibly pleased with the outcome of this case.

It presented a unique challenge, as we needed to creatively replicate natural tooth and gum aesthetics in ways that aren’t feasible through surgical methods anymore.

The task involved replacing a poorly executed crown on an implant (too big of an implant in the site to begin with) and correcting a crown on a peg lateral—a procedure that shouldn’t have been done in the first place.

What excites me most about this work is the opportunity to push my skills and problem-solve.

While the journey of learning can be frustrating, the satisfaction of overcoming challenges and seeing the tangible progress is immensely rewarding.

Case Overview:

For this case, I took a full hands-on approach with the final crowns on the laterals, designing them in-house using Exocad and milling them in-house with a hybrid ceramic blocks (Enamic).

The centrals were restored with direct composite. At a follow-up appointment, the new crowns on the laterals were bonded, and all four anterior teeth were cut-back and re-layered with direct composite to achieve a refined aesthetic.

The canines were enhanced with direct composite applied to the incisal edges and the incisal facial surfaces to ensure a seamless flow and harmony within the smile.

For a final touch, the distal cervical area of the #8 composite was cut-back and an intentional black triangle was created. This space was then filled with pink composite using a bioclear matrix.

The pink composite was meticulously shaped and tinted to blend seamlessly with the client’s natural tissue. This is my first experience using the bioclear matrix in this manner with pink composite, and seeing the results align perfectly with my vision is incredibly satisfying.

👉Imagine if I told you that his teeth remained completely untouched during this smile reconstruction.

👉What if there was a way to achieve stunning, lasting results without relying on traditional dental methods?

👉We don't have to be constrained by the past practices of dentistry.

👉There are advanced techniques available—though they may come with a steep and lengthy learning curve for the dentist—they are undeniably better for you.

-----Predictable Composite Bonding Veneers and Hybrid Ceramic Veneers to enhance both the bite and the aesthetics of the upper teeth, improving overall dental health. For the lower teeth, we've started with Invisalign as an initial step to improve the position of the teeth and later we will perform similar treatment as the top teeth.
