Our Dental Study Club had the pleasure of having Dr Calamita to a full day presentation for us.  This is the 21st year I have been providing high level education to local dentists so we can all be better tomorrow than we are today!

Love my career! It’s a great day when you are able to give a wonderful person the confidence to smile again. Located in the San Francisco Bay Area we have been helping our dental family for over 40 years regain confidence and health. We are currently accepting new patients to our dental family.

Patient came in to fix a discolored central incisor ahead of her college return. What would you have done based on the treatment plan options?

Patient came in with a chipped central incisor. Some practices might have chosen doing two veneers, but instead we went with a more conservative approach and utilized direct resign. This allowed us to deliver a beautiful smile in one visit and restored the patients confidence!

Had an amazing time teaching a class on fixed and removable implants at the Kois Center last week! Grateful to share the stage with these incredible instructors: Peter Young, John Kois, Tracy Tambosso, and Chris Lindsey (Left to Right). Fun fact: Modern dental implants have been successfully used for over 3 decades!

25 years ago, I helped restore this patient’s function by treating a cavity on her molar. Fast forward to today—the tooth cracked, needed repair, but the filling held strong! A testament to the longevity of quality dentistry. With a new filling in place, here’s to another 25 years of healthy smiles!

Here’s our young patient after one year of direct resin bonding on four of her front six teeth! This conservative treatment not only closed spaces but also created a more natural size.

It’s incredible to see how well resin holds up—lasting an estimated 7-10 years. As her tissue matures, she’ll have the option to decide between redoing the resin or moving to porcelain.

What do you do when a 17 year old walks in with a congenitally malformed tooth? The easy way out is place a porcelain veneer and count on your lab tech to make you look good. Or do a direct resin veneer, use your own skills, be more conservative and be kinder to the tooth? Here we opted for resin!
