Your smile is one of the first and most important things people notice about you. It is a reflection of many things ... a joy in life, esteem, self-confidence, even strength of character. It can also portray personal insecurity, stress, or premature ageing. The impact that a dazzling smile can have on your life in the twenty first century is immeasurable!

We live in a competitive and beauty-conscious society, where a pleasing appearance can mean the difference between success and failure in both our personal and professional lives. At the center of appearance, pleasing or not, is your smile. Vanity is no longer a bad word when it comes to improving or enhancing your oral health. Enhancing your smile is just another way to present yourself in the best light possible, as you will look good and feel good. Dentistry can now help in this pursuit.

For reasons of age, past trauma, medication or food intake, many smiles can darken with time. Using porcelain restorations, teeth can be permanently lightened to a natural, youthful appearance.

With the help of minor gum surgery and porcelain veneers, we were able to untwist this crowded smile without the use of fixed braces (orthodontics).

It is common in middle-aged adults to have teeth that are weakened in health and dulled in appearance by age.

Her smile was transformed to create a dynamic appearance, to affect her personal and professional life.

Worn down teeth are the hallmark of a smile that is aged. With the usage of non-metallic, porcelain restorations, a worn, aged smile can be turned into a more youthful and dynamic smile.

With a mixture of adult and child-like appearing teeth, this person’s smile appeared misproportioned in comparison to the elegant features in her face. Being born with teeth that are not in proper proportion to the face is a common problem. Using esthetic temporaries, the proper teeth proportions were first attained. Then, using the newly established teeth proportions, porcelain veneers were fabricated and bonded onto her teeth. The end result creates a more dynamic face, for Miss Hawaii 2001, Christy Leonard.

Through the use of painless, minor gum sculpting and porcelain veneers, this gummy smile was corrected. It turned a child-like smile into an elegant one. In changing her smile, it affected her self-esteem and self-confidence so dramatically, it changed her outlook on her overall appearance.
