Tracy Kemble was recently featured in the MAC 2008 calendar for the month of April. Dr. Huefner did Tracy's smile makeover with MAC porcelain veneers. Tracy's photo also appeared on the cover of the Journal of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry.

Beautiful Tracy with her beautiful new smile....a picture is worth a thousand words, especially if the picture is of someone as gorgeous as Tracy! Of course all of Tracy's veneers were fabricated by one of MAC's (Microdental Advanced Ceramics) award winning ceramists!

Not happy with her teeth and smile, Uliana wanted to know what options cosmetic dentistry might have for her. Her teeth were very discolored and wearing down on the edges. She also had a crossbite on one side and didn't like the way her porcelain-to-metal crowns and bridge looked.
BEFORE
We recommended porcelain veneers on her front teeth and replacement of her old crowns and bridges with all-ceramic porcelain crowns (non-metal based) and porcelain bridge. She wanted to be involved in the design of the shape and length of her "new teeth" and was particularly concerned about achieving a full smile. The results we achieved for her were sensational!
AFTER

Then a few weeks later we took her post treatment portraits right in our "sensational smiles studio". As you can clearly see, she was very happy with her cosmetic dentistry and porcelain veneers. One of these portraits that we took will be entered in the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry annual Smile Gallery competition. Wish us luck!

Stephanie has crooked, discolored teeth and desperately wanted a nice smile. She didn't like the space between her front two teeth, and the "worn look".

BEFORE

She wanted a younger, more attractive smile and definitely wanted her teeth whiter. We recommended porcelain veneers. Here is the incredible result we got for Stephanie!

Teeth that stick out too far or are too pointed often produce an unattractive smile. Monica has this problem and hated her teeth and smile. She called it her "fang teeth" and along with it she had an excessive gummy smile!

BEFORE

Her teeth were so crowded that orthodontics was the best treatment, but she said "No way! I never would go through braces." She then asked me, "Is there any other way you can help me with cosmetic dentistry?" Fortunately for her, the answer was "Yes." We gave her the option of laser gum recontouring to correct her "over gummy smile". After that was healed, we could give her straight teeth by placing porcelain veneers, a procedure we oftentimes call "instant orthodontics". Below is a photo three days after reshaping away her excess gums with the dental gum laser.

THREE DAYS AFTER LASER GUM RECONTOURING

We recommended 8 or 10 porcelain veneers, but she could only afford to do the six front teeth at this time. Here is the amazing photo of Monica with her new smile with six porcelain veneers. Notice....no more fang-teeth!

BEFORE
What she wanted was a mature, adult-looking smile. Braces weren't the answer, she needed larger teeth. And she didn't want to show as much of her gums either, could that be fixed?
Fortunately for Andrea her problems could be corrected with cosmetic dentistry. First, we used a gum laser to remove some of the excess gums around her teeth. That made her teeth look a little longer. Then we placed porcelain veneers on her upper teeth, making them longer and in normal proportion to her face and mouth. Also, we made her veneers whiter and with a more natural unworn feminine shape. The results were fantastic for Andrea! She loved her new smile and reports that she get compliments everywhere she goes.

BEFORE

After carefully evaluating her smile, Barbara expressed that she also didn't like the color of her teeth (they were too yellow for her) and she though she would like her front teeth a little bit longer. "Could you do that for me and how would you do it, Dr. Huefner?"

Dr. Huefner suggested that he place Empress porcelain veneers on her front and side teeth, thereby controlling the size, length, proportion, shape and color of all her upper teeth that were visible when she smiled. Below is the results that were achieved for Barbara with Empress porcelain veneers.
