Little composite bonding with some whitening goes a long way.

This lovely patient decided to get a full mouth reconstruction. Right before the prep day, an old root canal tooth broke off from the gum line. He got an immediate implant and is now in the process of healing. We were able to temporize the implant perfectly to blend in with the smile. Stay tuned for finals in couple months.

The top picture is the original teeth with some composite bondings from the past. The middle is the mock up based on our digital wax up. Once the patient approved the shape and color of the teeth, we moved forward to the finals. The last picture is right after cementation. There was no prep and no temporaries involved.

This lovely gentleman is one of my earliest patients in USA. One day he decided to get a facelift through his full mouth reconstruction. He absolutely looks 20 years younger. Showing more teeth, fuller smile, very natural color, all as he requested. When I was trying to get a before smile, he told me he never smiles. Now, every couple of months he sends me a photo of himself smiling, saying that he is taking “my smile” to different places. I am truly happy for him and the fact that he smiles a lot🙂 As always I grateful to my lab technician, a true artist. Picture is 3 years follow up.

Bike accident resulted in a root fracture and pulp exposure of this young patient. He came on a Friday afternoon in despair. We managed to remove the broken piece and made him a temporary till he gets his root canal done with Dr. Eslami, Contemporary Endo. Then we use our genius lab, Regal to recreate what was lost. Again, precision, planning, using the right resources. Definitely not cheap but worth every penny in my opinion.

Are all crowns equal? Recently a new patient with many failing dental work in his mouth came to the office and after seeing my fees, said he never had paid that much for a crown in his life. Well, considering many of his crowns were failing, meaning had recurrent decay under, I am not surprised. I never said I am cheap, but I always say I strive to be great. I continue the great work of Dr. Murakami, who was a perfectionist and very rarely I cut a crown from her with too much decay under. That comes with a good prep, good impression and good lab. None of these are cheap or easy.
You know what more? We have one of the most boring hygiene programs. Everyone’s mouth look great! They just come to maintain the good work. So yes, you pay for a quality work that lasts for a very long time!

Nothing could be a better way to start our holidays!! Honestly I have never been a subject of a poem. Some interactions just warm up my heart and even though there are thousands of reasons to question myself, these are the ones that keep me going. Thank you Mary, as always.

Another year has passed and again, what matters to me the most in this world is how I interact with people around me. So grateful to all these people for everything that we have achieved together and of course we missed Dr. Rodriguez dearly 🙃
