A smile transformation nearly 10 years in the making: This patient was first told years ago to straighten their teeth — they were crooked and wearing down unevenly. After finally completing Invisalign, we restored the health of the gums with a gum graft to cover a sensitive, receded area that was catching food and had poor-quality tissue.

Once the foundation was healthy, we completed the smile with 10 upper and 8 lower veneers. The result? A balanced bite, healthy gums, and a confident smile that the patient can’t stop sharing.
From barely smiling to beaming with confidence. Moments like these are why I love what I do.

This is an amazing post-ortho glow up for our 15 year old patient. After braces, we completed a gum lift and then cosmetic bonding to fill in the gaps between her teeth, as well as a Maryland bridge to replace her missing tooth. This will give her time to grow and can consider veneers and an implant in the future.

This Free Gingival Graft (FGG) shows the regeneration of healthy tissue to cover exposed roots. Creating thicker gums helps prevent further gum recession and makes the area much easier for the patient to keep clean.
