After

Courtney came to see us because she was having problems with her bite. She noticed that her teeth were chipping and wearing down and she was getting headaches. Using porcelain veneers, all porcelain crowns and diode laser gum correction we gave her the smile that she wanted. We designed the porcelain to help support her bite in a more comfortable position and gave her a night guard to protect her teeth, jaws and jaw joints.  Now Courtney has a great smile that is as pretty as it is comfortable.

Rick wanted to improve his smile and was also concerned about some head and neck (TMJ) pain he was having. He had spoken to his local dentist about this, but did not feel comfortable about the solutions he had heard. He was told he would need many, many visits to complete his treatment but did not feel confident about his outcome. Using our computer based bite correcting technology (K7 bite evaluation computer), dental CT x-ray imaging, extensive training and experience in helping people with TMJ & bite problems we gave Rick a beautiful new smile that is pain free. We fixed his bite and corrected his smile using porcelain veneers and porcelain crowns. He now smiles easily and gets lots of compliments on his smile- especially from his wife.

Vienna came to us because she was unhappy with how her smile looked.  She did not like her small teeth and felt that her grinding and clenching had made them even shorter.  She felt her teeth were too small, she did not like her short teeth and felt she had dark teeth.  She was also having problems with headaches and jaw pain and but was not sure where that was coming from (TMD/migraines).  In about 4 months we were able to get her out of pain, give her a stable bite and also create the beautiful smile she wanted.  Using out state of the art Galileos CT scan to look at her jaw joints (TMJ’s) and the K7 computer and TENS we were able to find her relaxed jaw muscle position and used that information to build her beautiful, pain free smile with porcelain veneers and porcelain crowns.
