Gianna
Our lovely patient in her 20s came to us to whiten her teeth and improve their appearance. She was dissatisfied with the spaces between her teeth, old stained bonding, and the length of her teeth which were worn from years of grinding. In-office deep bleaching provided much whiter teeth, and 6 porcelain veneers placed on the upper teeth completed her smile transformation.
Christina
After years of addressing isolated dental problems and subsequent tooth loss, this patient found us. We were able to provide a comprehensive approach to her complicated dental needs. In conjunction with one of our gifted Periodontist colleagues, we delivered full arch dental prosthetics retained by dental implants to both restore her smile and provide a predictable, functional, and durable result. After guarding her smile for years, she can no chew and smile without fear of discomfort or embarrassment. The upper denture prosthetic is permanently affixed to 6 dental implants, and is only removed for hygiene maintenance at the office.
Phil
This young male patient wanted a conservative approach to address both his discolored, asymmetrical bonding and the irregular shapes of his upper front teeth. With teeth whitening and 4 ceramic veneers, we were able to provide a much more uniform, natural appearance to his smile and restore his confidence while speaking.
Marlena
As an actress and daughter of a dentist, this lovely young patient has been dissatisfied for years with the imperfections in her smile. She was acutely aware that choosing the right dentist was a crucial part of her dental journey. After discussing a range of options and, based on her unique individual needs, we used 3 different restoration types (veneers, crowns and implant crowns) to deliver the smile this successful performer had been hoping for.
Sue
Crowded teeth, chipped teeth, gray tooth color, and the color mismatch between her previous crowns and natural teeth were all top of mind for this busy professional. Our patient traveled to Philadelphia to ensure she was able to achieve the esthetic result she wanted. After tooth alignment with orthodontics and teeth whitening, 10 upper ceramic restorations were placed to restore length, provide consistency of color, and fill out her smile. She tells us none of her coworkers want to stand next to her for pictures because her smile makes their teeth look bad in comparison!
Allitia
Allitia came to us with moderately advanced loss of tooth structure due to tooth wear and dental erosion. Her teeth were uneven and discolored. A comprehensive approach was required to restore missing tooth structure and improve esthetics. No orthodontics or dental implants were required - with a combination of crowns, veneers and one bridge, we completely rejuvenated our patient’s smile.
Gita
Dr. Conover refreshed and repaired her chipped resin veneers with new bonding giving new life to her existing smile with minimally invasive techniques.
Cheryl
Over the years Cheryl had single tooth dentistry performed on as as-needed basis, resulting in a variety of colors and materials. Tooth decay under old crowns contributed to tooth loss. We developed a plan that included tooth whitening, dental implants, and ceramic crowns on front teeth to provide a more youthful, symmetrical smile. She's beaming, and her smile finally caught up to her bubbly, vibrant personality.
Marshall
After years of single tooth dentistry, our patient came to the office dissatisfied with the lack of consistency in his smile. The use of multiple dental materials in several different colors created a smile that did not reflect our distinguished patient's appearance and personality. With careful planning and execution, we replaced the hodgepodge of existing dental work on his upper teeth with 10 ceramic restorations. The end result was a clean, natural, harmonious smile upgrade.
Barbara
Missing teeth, tooth decay, a crooked smile, and a partial upper denture with metal clasps were all part of pre-treatment presentation of our wonderful patient. After years of less than ideal experiences that led to her avoiding the dentist, Barbara finally regained confidence in dental care once she spent time in our office. With a focus on an individualized approach to care, we set out to deliver the rounded teeth and subtle asymmetries to the smile our patient desired. We began with the end in mind, providing temporary restorations on the front 6 teeth to confirm the patient's desired tooth length and shape. From there, meticulous planning and multi-disciplinary coordination allowed dental implants to be ideally placed to fill missing tooth spaces. After implant treatment was completed by our patient's long-time periodontist, ceramic crowns on the dental implants and the adjacent natural teeth were used to give our previously dental phobic patient the smile she wishes she had years ago.
Robert
Our patient literally outgrew the bonded bridges replacing his 2 missing lower teeth initially placed when we was a teenager. He elected a conservative approach to treatment - tooth whitening with new lower bonded bridges to blend with his natural teeth. The new bridges are a seamless addition to his smile, and our wonderful patient can’t wait to upgrade the aging bridges replacing his missing upper teeth.
Itisha
NOTE: Case documented, planned and executed at Penn Dental Medicine with Markus Blatz, PhD, DMD. This young woman was interested in upgrading her lower partial denture to a fixed (nonremovable) solution to replace her missing lower two front teeth. She was tired of taking her front teeth out at night. While replacement of the lower teeth with a dental implant solution was an option, it wasn't one our patient was able to consider. Instead a ceramic bonded bridge was designed to provide an undetectable natural transition to the patient's other lower teeth.
Judy
Our wonderful patient was interested in conservative treatment to improve her smile. Treatment was simple - no porcelain veneers required. Invisalign clear aligners were used to straighten the teeth, and deep bleaching in the office lightened tooth color significations.
Frank
Frank came to our office for his esthetic care only. While he loves his routine dentist, he decided to visit our office to assure his best cosmetic result. After his tooth decay was addressed by his routine dentist, we were able to bond tooth-colored composite filling on the lower teeth, restoring their appearance and function. Ceramic materials were used to replace the existing crowns on the 2 upper front teeth, with porcelain veneers utilized on the lateral incisors.
Josh
After a front tooth broke, our patient decided to enhance his smile with a more limited approach to improve the appearance of his upper four front teeth. A combination of 2 porcelain veneers, 1 ceramic crown and 1 dental implant crown provided him with the smile enhancement he was looking for.
Marsha
A fall and a broken front tooth caused our wonderful long-time patient to consider refreshing her smile. Initially completed over 20 years ago by Dr. Doray, our patient’s smile was already well-designed - our goal was to subtly enhance her smile with treatment on the upper 6 teeth. Our patient is thrilled by the results - so much so that she is almost ready to improve the appearance of the lower teeth.
Kaitlyn
Our patient presented to improve the appearance of her front teeth. A condition called external resorption caused by a childhood accident led to the loss of her front right tooth. As seen in the before photos, the gum lines have receded around her existing veneer and there is a lack of symmetry and color harmony between the 2 front teeth. When the dental implant on her front right tooth was ready for a new crown, we provided the patient the esthetic enhancement she desired with 4 ceramic crowns. The result shows a near seamless blending color and shape between the new ceramic restorations and her existing natural teeth. Now a new mom, she couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Case completed by Dr. Conover.
Lindalee
Our long-time patient had noticed her teeth slowly getting more crowded over the years. While she had orthodontics as a teenager, she experienced the quite common phenomenon of orthodontic relapse. She became concerned that the crowding would continue through her 70’s and into her later years and was concerned about how difficult it would be to maintain her oral hygiene. After discussion of options, she chose a series of clear aligners (Invisalign) to straighten her teeth and make them less prone to periodontal disease and tooth decay. We were able to restore an ideal arch form, uprighting lower premolars and leveling the lower incisors. Total treatment time was approximately 12 months and her only regret is that she didn’t decide to do it sooner! Case completed by Dr. Conover.
Andrew
This wonderful patient came to us dissatisfied with the recently placed stained and mismatched resin bonding on his upper front teeth. After discussing options, he elected a limited treatment of 4 porcelain veneers to close the spaces between his teeth and improve his overall appearance. After tooth whitening, we conservatively shaped the teeth and provided a “trial smile” with temporary veneers. Tooth-colored bonding was added to the adjacent canine teeth to improve bite function as well. He was thrilled with the result and his experience at our office. Case by Dr. Conover.
Jenna
Jenna decided to make a subtle and natural enhancement to her lower front teeth. Treatment was conservative: after in-office deep bleaching to brighten and lighten the surrounding lower teeth, we closed spaces with a pair of porcelain veneers. We confirmed this was the result she was looking to achieve with temporary restorations. After the patient gave the go ahead, the temporaries were then converted to porcelain, delivering just the natural look our wonderful patient asked for. Case by Dr. Conover.
