Many patients with complex dental histories have been navigating treatment, uncertainty, and fear for years. What never escapes us is that these cases are deeply emotional. In the end, our work is less about teeth and more about helping someone feel comfortable in their own smile again.

This case is a great example of what we mean by enhancing, not reinventing. She already had beautiful teeth, but a mix of natural teeth, crowns, and implants created a gray, uneven smile with no real harmony.

Born missing her lateral incisors, she had her canines moved and crowned when she was young, followed by implants placed in the canine positions. This presents significant restorative challenges but through creativity and close collaboration with our master ceramist, we designed a combination of porcelain restorations that blend seamlessly together. Natural, balanced, and as our lovely patient put it “teeth that be teething.” 😂

What an incredible championship run. And I got to experience it with my childhood friends. Felt like a kid again. Thank you New York Knicks 🏀 for giving NY and all of us this moment and experience. And thank you Jalen Brunson for the foresight and unselfishness to choose team over self. New York won’t forget it.

The last time the Knicks were in the Finals, dentistry looked very different and so did I.

Film X-rays, paper charts, impression with goop, and metal braces were the norm. Today we can diagnose more accurately, plan more precisely, and make treatment more comfortable than ever with digital imaging, intraoral scanning, 3D technology, Invisalign and advances that would have seemed impossible back then.

Thank God for progress. 🦷🏀

She came to me in the middle of treatment, stuck in temporaries that were breaking every other week, frustrated, exhausted, and starting to lose hope she’d ever finish.

The sigh of relief and tears at the end is something my team and I won’t forget.

The temporaries honestly didn’t look bad. But dentistry isn’t just about how things look. The bite is everything when it comes to longevity.

To be fair, this was a tough case.
Her bite was completely collapsed, there was a significant cant(teeth leaning to one side) and a complex mix of implants and natural teeth. On top of that, she was traveling in from the Midwest for every visit so timing was important.

Instead of continuing down the same path, we stepped back and rethought everything, focusing first on building a stable, functional bite, then designing the aesthetics around it.

A case like this also requires a lot of patient education. Full mouth reconstruction is a big investment, and patients need to understand the “why” behind every step to feel confident moving forward.

The result is a smile that looks natural, feels balanced, and most importantly holds up.

Some patients go through a lot before they find us and place their trust in us. That’s something we never take lightly.

If you’ve been through a situation like this, we’re here to help.
