Smile Gallery

Often people have no idea how a certain dental treatment should look or the difference a procedure might make. Here are actual “before and after” photos representing most of our common procedures. One thing you will realize is many cases require a combination of procedures to accomplish the desired result. But many cases also require less than the patient had originally expected.

This 28 YOM was congenitally missing an upper lateral incisor. His mother wanted a lasting, natural replacement and referred him to Dr. Scott for an implant and crown.

Implant, One Porcelain Crown Restoration

This 18 YOF was congenitally missing two upper lateral incisors, which needed to be added and restored to complete her smile after braces.

Braces, Whitening, 2 Implants and 2 Porcelain Crowns

This 35 YOF had previously had a root canal, and a follow up surgical procedure done to try to save her front tooth. The tooth now was discolored, had a vertical crack/fracture, and would be lost. She asked if there was a solution so she wouldn’t be without a front tooth. Sarah was thrilled with the result.

Extraction with Immediate Implant and Provisional Crown Placement, Porcelain Crown

This 39 YOF was concerned about the darkness of her front tooth, which had a failing root canal. She was pleased to find out Dr. Scott could remove the tooth, place an implant, and attach a transitional crown (with a much better color match) the same day. Sonja now readily smiles and can’t believe she didn’t have this done sooner.

Whitening, Extraction with Immediate Implant and Provisional Crown Placement, Porcelain Crown

This 60 YOM, and a great patient of record, presented with a fractured off front tooth. The tooth fractured so high up it would not be able to be restored. It would ultimately require extraction, an implant, and a crown. Dr. Scott bonded the fractured tooth back to the root as a temporary fix and began getting the records necessary for a same day, extraction, implant, and transitional crown.

Emergency Directed Bonded Fractured Tooth, Extraction, Immediate Implant and Provisional Crown Placement, Porcelain Crown

This 69 YOM had lost a molar, which supplied much of his chewing potential on his right side. A 3D (CBCT) scan led to a surgical guide to be used during the surgical process of accurately placing an implant. The missing tooth was restored with a porcelain crown once the implant had integrated with the patient’s bone (usually a 3 month process).

Implant and a Porcelain Implant Crown

This 61 YOM lost a molar tooth to a vertically fractured root. After extraction and a three-month healing period to grow bone, a 3D (CBCT) scan led to a surgical guide to be used during the surgical process of accurately placing an implant. The missing tooth was restored with a porcelain crown once the implant had integrated with the patient’s bone (usually a 3 month process).

Implant and a Porcelain Implant Crown

This 37 YOF was about to finish orthodontics to better align all of her teeth, but implants are fused to bone and do not move. Therefore spaces occurred around the crowns attached to her implants placed 20 years previously. Her dentist, Dr. Scott, researched the implant type so he could proceed with removal of her existing crowns and have custom implant abutments made with porcelain crowns to accurately restore the space requirements.

Two Custom Implant Abutments and Two Porcelain Crowns

This 63 YOF was about to lose a front tooth and was very concerned about how she would look without a front tooth. The 3D (CBCT) scan showed there wasn’t bone on the facial surface of the tooth to be lost. The most predictable procedure would be to first grow back the missing bone, making an ideal situation to place an implant. A transitional removable appliance was made before the extraction so our patient would never be without a front tooth. The implant was then successfully placed in adequate bone with and immediate temporary crown (premade by our gifted lab), which the doctor attached to a transitional implant abutment. This temporary result exceeded all patient expectations.

Extraction, Bone Augmentation, Transitional Tooth Replacement, Implant #9 with Immediate Provisional Crown

This 36 YOF came in for a second opinion for a molar tooth, which had a root canal and crown for many years, but now showed signs of an infection around one of the roots. Her present dentist wanted to refer her to a specialist for retreatment of a failing root canal. Our diagnosis was a vertically fractured root because a successful root canal of 18 years would not suddenly go bad. The diagnosis was correct which was verified when the tooth was extracted. The molar was replaced with an implant followed by a porcelain crown.

An Implant and a Porcelain Crown

This 76 YOM had lost a molar and wanted to replace it. A 3D (CBCT) scan led to a surgical guide to be used during the surgical process of accurately placing an implant. The missing tooth was restored with a porcelain crown once the implant had integrated with the patient’s bone (usually a 3 month process). The patient was very happy to have this tooth back and feel able to chew again on this side of his mouth.
