To achieve this patient’s goals, I placed 13 veneers and 1 implant crown, carefully designing a smile that complemented her facial features while restoring natural proportions and harmony.

One of the key factors affecting her smile was bruxism (teeth clenching and grinding), which had caused significant enamel wear over time. In her pre-operative photos, you can see how the teeth appeared uniformly worn—a common sign of long-term grinding. A youthful smile typically exhibits variation in tooth length, with the central incisors naturally longer than the lateral incisors.

To help protect her investment and preserve her results, I also created a custom night guard to minimize future wear from bruxism.

I’m grateful to have collaborated with Jimmy So and lab to bring this transformation to life. Seeing patients regain confidence in their smiles is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do.

Oral health when you’re pregnant is a moving target due to hormonal shifts, but staying proactive is a simple way to protect both your health and your baby 👶

Timing is Key: It is recommended that pregnant women have their teeth professionally cleaned during the second trimester and again shortly after giving birth.

Hormonal changes can trigger a cycle of inflammation, allowing opportunistic pathogens to infiltrate the gums. These bacteria and inflammatory cells can travel through your body and potentially affect your baby.

Make sure you are working closely with your hygiene team to stay on top of your cleanings and keep your body healthy for you and your little one.

How often should you really get your teeth cleaned?

The standard recommendation of two cleanings a year isn’t necessarily the right schedule for everyone. Each person builds plaque, tartar, and bacteria at a different rate—and everyone’s immune system responds differently too.

The goal isn’t to wait until inflammation appears. It’s to prevent it.

That’s why your ideal cleaning schedule should be personalized. For some patients, every 3–4 months is best. Others may do well with visits every 6 months or longer.

Talk with your dental hygiene team to determine the interval that’s right for you. And remember, what happens between appointments matters most. Daily brushing, flossing, and plaque control are key to keeping your smile healthy for life.

This patient was born without her lateral incisors and previously underwent orthodontic treatment to move the canines into the position of the laterals. Because there was not enough room for dental implants, we discussed alternative options and ultimately chose a conservative solution that would beautifully and naturally restore her smile.

A key part of her treatment goals was maintaining a conservative approach by preserving and not treating her two central incisors, allowing us to enhance her smile while keeping as much of her natural tooth structure untouched as possible.

For this patient’s treatment, I started by digitally planning her smile to create a customized approach for her final result.

After completing her dental mock-up, I performed an in-office bleaching treatment prior to placing two zirconia fixed partial dentures, also known as dental bridges, on both sides of her mouth (teeth 5–7 and 10–12).

I actually forgot my toothbrush, so this hotel dental kit came in clutch.

One thing about Four Seasons, they always do it right. We stayed at the Orlando location this time and I genuinely loved it. The dental kit literally had everything I needed and the little details always make such a difference to me.

We also reviewed the Four Seasons in Palm Beach before and had such a great experience there too. The consistency, service, and quality are always amazing.

Dot cake is trending 🍰 but here’s my take as a dentist…

While those crunchy rainbow sprinkles may look harmless, they can be surprisingly hard on your teeth. Over time, repeatedly chewing hard foods can contribute to enamel wear and affect the tooth’s natural crystalline structure. If you have fillings or other dental restorations, that extra pressure may also increase the risk of wear or damage.

I’m not saying you can’t enjoy the trend, just enjoy it in moderation and keep your smile in mind!

Would you still try dot cake? 👀

Please stop doing the lemon juice + olive oil teeth whitening hack.

I know it’s all over social media, but lemon juice is highly acidic and can seriously erode your enamel over time. Once enamel is damaged, it does not grow back.

Your teeth may look “whiter” at first, but you could actually be stripping away the protective outer layer of your teeth and increasing sensitivity in the process.

Not every DIY trend is safe for your oral health.

When a patient tells me their doctor sent them to the dentist for sleep issues, I’m looking at the root cause of the grind. Is it a volume restriction from nasal vs. mouth breathing? Or maybe an anatomical issue like a retruded jaw that’s physically blocking your airway?

I recently spoke with a patient who was “sleeping” for 9 hours and even trying mouth taping, but her sleep data was still terrible. The problem? She couldn’t actually breathe adequately through her nose. You can’t tape your mouth shut if your nose isn’t doing its job first.

If you’re constantly tired despite being in bed all night, it’s time to look at the volume of your breath, not just the guard on your teeth.

This patient came to me with decay around her two older front crowns and wanted a more refreshed, natural-looking smile. After discussing her esthetic goals, I treated her front four teeth — placing veneers on the lateral incisors and new ceramic crowns on the central incisors.

Our treatment process began with whitening and a digital mock-up so we could carefully design her new smile together. Once we finalized the shape and overall look, I moved into the treatment phase: removing the existing crowns and decay, preparing the teeth for the new restorations, and fabricating provisional restorations based on the approved mock-up.

The provisional phase gave us the opportunity to evaluate the design directly in her mouth and make any refinements needed before final fabrication. This step is essential in creating restorations that not only achieve the patient’s esthetic goals, but also support long-term function and harmony with the smile.
