Before and Afters
Full Arch Rehabilitation
Before
Our patient came to us with severely decayed, broken down teeth. Unfortunately the remaining teeth were beyond repair. He was experiencing discomfort and loss of function due to his oral condition, and was needing a full arch restorative solution.
After
All upper teeth were removed and 6 dental implants placed in the upper arch. Final restoration was a zirconia bridge on 'All-on-6' dental implants with titanium framework. Restoring function with highly-aesthetic, natural-looking results.

Veneers
Before
Our patient came to us wanting to enhance the overall appearance of her smile. Her teeth were discoloured, misaligned, slightly worn-down in areas, and had an uneven smile line. She wanted to have her teeth as minimally prepped as possible, and to have a very natural-looking smile that would 'enhance' her face and complement her natural facial features.
After
These results were achieved with 10 minimally invasive feldspathic porcelain veneers. By minimally prepping the patient's tooth structure and fabricating ultra-thin, semi-translucent porcelain veneers, we were able to create a very natural-looking, life-like result for our patient.

Full Mouth Rehabilitation
Before
Our patient was unhappy with the aesthetics of her smile as her teeth were very short and uneven due to extensive wear over the years. She wanted not only to obtain an enhanced natural looking smile but also to protect her teeth and restore her oral function.
After
After a course of orthodontic treatment to get her teeth aligned, minimally invasive all ceramic veneers were fabricated to modify her bite and improve the overall appearance of her smile.

Full Mouth Rehabilitation
Before
The patient’s main complaint was that the aesthetics of her smile were lost over the years and her oral function was compromised due to the wear of her teeth. The patient's medical records indicated a history of chronic acid reflux, and she was aware tooth grinding habits. Her treatment wish was to obtain a fixed oral rehabilitation that would best address all her aesthetic and functional demands.
After
Extraction of all maxillary (upper) teeth and the placement of 6 dental implants to support a fixed full arch Zirconia bridge prosthesis. Restoration of all mandibular (lower) teeth with minimally invasive bonded ceramic restorations.
