Smile Refresh! 🦷
This patient chipped his central incisors years ago, and the wear continued to worsen over time. When he was ready to restore his smile, we used composite resin, creating a natural shape and excellent color match.
A conservative treatment with a big impact—and one very happy patient! 😁

Palm Beach + Continuing Education = a fantastic weekend 🌴☀️
Dr. Karriker & Dr. Olar spent the weekend with the Spartanburg County Dental Society diving into full arch digital workflow & interdisciplinary esthetic dentistry with Dr. Kim.
A tour of the ZimVie Institute gave us a behind-the-scenes look at how much precision and innovation goes into dental implants!
A HUGE thank you to Dr. Laura Summers, Dr. Kevin Schwartzman, and the entire team at Upstate Oral Surgery for planning such an outstanding and educational weekend. We’re grateful for the opportunity and excited to bring this knowledge back to our patients! 😊
