Procedure : Smile Makeover

Mr. S has been a patient for many years. He has been wanting to do something with his teeth for a long time. A busy schedule and a bit of dental anxiety seemed to keep him from being able to commit to treatment. He became semi-retired and decided to go for it.

We provided him with a smile simulation and educated him about his options regarding oral and IV sedation. He elected for oral sedation and scheduled his appointment. In one visit, a new set of teeth were fabricated out of beautiful acrylic temporary material.

The patient was called later that day... he stated, "I feel great, the teeth look amazing and I don't remember anything!" One week later he returned to verify the bite and confirm he was 100% satisfied with the color, shape, and design of his new smile. Then impressions were taken of the temporaries and sent to the lab as a guide for the permanent porcelain crown fabrication.

Two weeks later, Mr. S returned to have the permanent porcelain teeth installed in about 2 hours and this is what he looks like 3 weeks from the first appointment. Our local lab can also turn cases around quicker if necessary for our out-of-towners.
