Turn back the time with your smile! Isn’t it amazing what a difference a smile can make? Although this patient is actually quite young, when your teeth are worn down it can make you look older than you are. Restoring the smile with porcelain veneers can really turn back the clock! It brings youth and vitality back into the entire face. Veneers don’t have to look big and bulky. They don’t have to look fake either. It’s all about knowing how to position the teeth within ...the boundaries of the face and understanding how colors work together and understanding the colors, shapes, and sizes that will fit the patients face the best. Each case is unique, and knowing that is essential. Your smile should enhance YOU. #transformationtuesday What do you think of your smile? See more

Here’s to strong women. May we know them. May we be them. May we raise them. Happy international women’s day to all the women out there. Whether your house is always clean or not, whether you always prepare fresh meals or not, whether you dress up or can be found in sweats, messy bun, and no make up... I see you. I see you for exactly who you are and I high-five you for it. As women we do so much. We are responsible for so much. We wear 57 different hats all at the s...ame time and we are fabulous at doing it. We are an incredible, untouchable gender!! It’s such a blessing to have brought a little girl into this world. My goal is to be an example of what is possible for her through all I do. See more

Put on a new outfit to celebrate a beautiful little 7 year old. It felt nice to get dressed up for once, and to wear something new. I went shopping yesterday for the first time in YEARS. Didn’t buy clothes in 2019 because I was pregnant, lost the baby weight but then Covid happened and we had nowhere to go. We still don’t have many places to go but . (Whose with me? ... ) but I love getting dressed up. Since my bday is coming up in a few days, I figured I’d buy some cute outfits in hopes that we’ll start to have more places to go. Which brings me to my next topic.... My birthday cake. I’m a big fan of vanilla cake with fresh strawberries on the inside... and it occurred to me this year that if I love myself... why would I put all that sugar in my body especially when it makes me feel sick. ’ ’ .... thoughts? Opinions? Advice? I’d love to hear down below! See more

I stumbled across this photo with a friend of mine this week and her initial reaction was oh my goodness I didn’t realize how big you got when you were pregnant. She didn’t mean it in a negative way, it was just her first thought and she just happened to say it out loud... and while most people might be offended, I was fascinated by my thought when I saw this photo. Because I could have easily had those same thoughts. And I could have been horrified by my own photo. ...But my first thought was I’m so proud of my body. I’m so proud I was able to go through this experience and all my organs supported me. I was equally as proud that I wasn’t one of those women where the weight just fell right off. I actually had to work for it, and I did. Every. Last. Pound. But even if I hadn’t lost the weight, I would still be proud. You have permission to think whatever it is you want about yourself. Nobody can tell you what to think about yourself. So why not choose AMAZING thoughts about yourself? How often are you telling yourself you’re not enough, you’re not doing enough, if only you were _______. Spend some time thinking about your thoughts about yourself, and ask yourself if those are the thoughts you want to choose about yourself intentionally. And to start, I’d love for you to share something really amazing you think about yourself down below See more

What you are looking at in this photo is actually an implant tooth! You can see in the top photo, the restoration in place is very dark, wide, short, and catches your eye. A beautiful smile should stand out and disappear all at the same time. When there’s too much attention on one tooth the way this patient presented to me, it draws attention away from the eyes and the face and directly to the one tooth that stands out. You can see that in the after photo, her implant ...crowns looks very natural and blends in nicely with the rest of her teeth. It’s hard enough to make one front porcelain crown match every other tooth in the mouth, it’s a whole different set of complications when you need to get an implant crown to match every other natural tooth in the mouth. It takes a great level of skill to master the techniques that go into this. It also takes an experienced eye and a great team! #MakeoverMonday See more

I can’t believe Valentine’s Day is next week. I’ve never been huge on V-Day but now that I have a daughter, it’s fun to celebrate any holiday any chance we get. I’m starting to think of small things we can do to create a Valentine’s Day tradition in our household. Got any tips? I’d love to hear what you have to share

I always tell patients the most ideal treatment plan before we get started. Sometimes that includes orthodontic treatment before moving onto placing any veneers/crowns. But I find more often than not patients don’t want to spend the time doing the Ortho treatment, or besides the time they just don’t want to go through the treatment itself. For situations like that, porcelain restorations (crowns/veneers) can be used to correct the alignment and enhance the smile. This gorge...ous patient decided to do 10 porcelain restorations to broaden her smile, correct the alignment, make the teeth more uniform, and enhance the color. The video shows the temporaries being made and you can already see how much more complimenting the new smile design is. Looking forward to sharing the final outcome with you!

LOOK CLOSELY AT THIS ONE! So many people have white spots on their teeth similar to this. Some people are born with them, some people develop them after having braces, or just over time. And I’m the past, the only way to get rid of/hide these spots were to place veneers or crowns over the teeth. There’s a system I use for my patients that is super conservative that can remove the white spots. No numbing, no drilling, no filling required for this procedure! ... It takes 1 appointment, and the white spots are gone! Love the results I’m able to create for my patients! #transformationtuesdays Leave your questions below See more

Are you there yet? Where are you? was a phone call I was getting every 30 minutes while on the road.... On my way to see Napoleon for the first time. I still remember the day I picked him up. I drove in hail to San Diego (it rarely even rains here let alone hail) with one of my closest friends (@glamoptometrist) to see him in person. What normally takes an hour took 4 hours because the weather and traffic were so bad. Every 30 minutes my friend and I got phone calls fro...m our worried friends and family. Even the breeder called and was worried! HAHA. When we got there, I picked him up, drove him home, and gave him his first bath and my life changed forever. He started off as my little fur baby that I thought was just the cutest 2 pound ball of fluff and he quickly turned into my best friend. He’s been there for me through thick and thin. On every hard day he’s sat by me and made me feel I’m not alone. On the happy days he has celebrated with me. And I truly believe in that saying that whoever thinks diamonds are a girls best friend never had a dog. I love you my sweet boy. See more
