Doing the bottoms next but wanted to share our progress! If you have questions about your smile just send me a DM. A smile makeover is never just about making teeth “white.”

This patient came to us wanting a brighter, fuller, more balanced smile after years of dealing with missing teeth, uneven spacing, and old dental work that no longer matched naturally.

Treatment included:• Porcelain veneers• Dental implants to replace missing teeth• Smile design and alignment correction• Bite and proportion adjustments• Shade enhancement for a brighter but still natural look

One of the biggest misconceptions about cosmetic dentistry is that veneers alone solve everything. In reality, the best smile transformations often combine multiple disciplines — cosmetic dentistry, implant dentistry, facial aesthetics, smile design, and functional planning.

In this case, replacing missing teeth with implants helped restore structure and symmetry while the veneers allowed us to improve:• Tooth shape• Width proportions• Alignment• Smile fullness• Overall harmony

The goal is never to create “fake looking” teeth. The goal is to create a smile that fits the patient’s face naturally while preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible.

A great smile should look:• Natural in photos• Healthy in daylight• Functional when chewing• Balanced with the lips and face• Timeless years from now

Every veneer case is customized based on facial structure, bite, tooth position, gum architecture, and the patient’s goals. Some patients need whitening or bonding. Some need orthodontics. Some need implants. There is no one-size-fits-all approach.

This is why comprehensive smile design matters.

If you’ve been considering veneers, implants, or a full smile makeover and want honest guidance on what would actually work best for your smile, send us a DM with a photo and what you’d like to improve. We’ll point you in the right direction

The power of porcelain veneers, so happy for our patient! Such an amazing fun patient to work with confident before and after! This wasn’t about making the teeth look fake or “done.” It was about improving shape, color, symmetry, and creating a smile that fits the face naturally.

Great cosmetic dentistry shouldn’t scream veneers. It should just look like you were born with a better smile.

Great cosmetic dentistry should also be done with restraint we do the least amount of work necessary to meet the needs and goals of the patients and our goal is always conservation of natural tooth structure.

Thinking about changing your smile? DM me to get started, you can even send me a photo of your smile, I will let you know your options, pricing, and next steps.

Come w/ me to get composite bonding @ State Street Dental in Redlands, CA with 🦷

At 22, we’re usually not jumping into veneers.

Gums are still changing, and the goal at this stage is to preserve as much natural tooth as possible.

She had trauma to her front tooth as a kid, which is why the central was darker. We were able to block that color with composite and then do some light bonding to smooth the edges and balance things out.

The canines weren’t restored—just reshaped slightly so everything flows better.

No overdoing it.
Just doing what was needed.

We can celebrate better, I feel like dentistry and healthcare in general has a tendency to just funnel patients down certain pipelines without stoping for a moment and really figuring out how to simply take care of the patient. Sure she’s class 3 bite (lower jaw forward) protocol would have been ortho and oral surgery…. We did bonding first and sure it might chip or wear faster but this is a win and I’m happy for her. She understands that ortho and oral surgery would be better but she’s not ready for all of that yet. I think we need to celebrate stories like this more.

The power of feldspathic porcelain veneers.
Natural, precise, and designed to fit the person—not just the teeth. This was something our patient had wanted for a long time, and we’re grateful to be part of his smile story.

Just Bonding, read below for the real talk. One of the most important parts of my job isn’t the dentistry… it’s the conversation before it.

When someone comes in wanting to improve their smile, there are usually multiple ways to do it. Sometimes that means porcelain veneers. Sometimes it means simple composite bonding. Sometimes it means doing nothing at all.

My role is to walk patients through the pros, the limitations, the longevity, the cost, and the trade-offs of each option so they can decide what fits their priorities.

Some patients value the absolute best aesthetic result.
Some patients want to preserve as much natural tooth as possible.
Sometimes budget is a real factor.

That’s all okay.

Good dentistry isn’t about upselling someone into the biggest treatment plan. It’s about doing the least amount of dentistry necessary to achieve what the patient actually wants.

In this case, we chose bonding.
Is it as ideal as porcelain veneers? Probably not.
But it preserved more natural tooth structure and aligned with the patient’s priorities.

And that’s what matters most.

The best dentistry happens when the patient understands their options and gets to choose what’s right for them.

Porcelain veneers to brighten and enhance, veneers should be a subtle and elegant enhancement. I think often times patients want their veneers to be as big and bright as possible as if to get the most out of their veneers but IMO less is more, they need to fit the face most importantly. Gorgeous look for our beautiful patient

It’s always funny how quickly patients forget how their teeth used to look and you never know what reaction you’re gonna get when they see them again, I think it’s safe to say was a bit shook 😂😂
