This patient has a history of cleft lip and palate. Replacement with a dental implant was not possible and a 3-unit bridge was the best treatment option. This also allowed for the use of pink porcelain to restore the gum contour. Thank you to @bigfatkao for the referral and careful soft tissue management! #cosmeticdentistry #losangelesdentist #smile #prosthodontics #smilemakeover #toothreplacement #missingteeth #perfectsmile #downtownladentist #dentalbridge

Various implants placed over the years. Splinting helps in these situations to create a stable/solid prosthesis. #dentistry #toothreplacement #prosthodontics #occlusion #misssingteeth #implantcrowns #implantdentistry #dentalimplants

Always a challenge to match single central implant restorations. Credit to my lab technician for a great match of shade, contour and characterization. #dentistry #cosmeticdentistry #prosthodontist #dentalimplants #downtownladentist #losangelesdentist #dentalcase #missingteethsmile #missingteeth #smile #missingfronttooth

Merry Christmas!

Enhancing appearance with crowns on the front 6 teeth. Minimal crown lengthening was performed to create symmetry with the gum line. Old composite restorations were removed, spaces were closed, stains and discolorations were removed. #cosmeticdentistry #losangelesdentist #smile #smiledtla #allceramiccrowns #restorativedentistry #gumcontouring #smilemakeover #downtownladentist #dentalcases #prosthodontics

Some nice full-arch, implant supported zirconia bridge-work from our in-office dental lab. #fullmouthrehab #fullarchzirconia #fullmouthreconstruction #prosthodontics #dentalocclusion #dentallab #dentalcases #toothreplacement #dentistdowntownla #zirconiabridge #implantdentistry #dentalimplants

This patient presented with one missing front tooth. Implant placement had been attempted twice and each time, failed. When properly executed, implant failure is rare. It is difficult to determine the reason for failure in this case. Instead of attempting another implant, we decided to make a bridge to replace the missing tooth. After numerous surgeries, the bone next to the teeth was lost and the tissue receded. This becomes a challenge to recreate the tooth/gum border and can only be done with pink prosthetic porcelain. An excellent lab technician is needed to achieve a natural result for this case. #naturalteeth #naturalbeauty #dentalbridge #toothreplacement #fronttooth #losangelesdentist #smile

Patient presented with a history of trauma to #9 and 10. These teeth were ankylosed and non-restorable. The teeth were extracted and immediate implants were placed and temporized. The facial surface of #9 was flattened to allow the gingival tissue to heal downward, similar to #8. After healing, the implants were restored with cast gold abutments and e.max crowns. #8 was restored with a veneer. Surgery performed by @bigfatkao Management of the soft tissue is the most difficult part of the case. With careful use of temporary crowns we were able to achieve a symmetric esthetic result. #implantology #dentalimplants #implantdentistry #emaxcrowns #emaxveneers #perfectsmile #dentalcases #smilemakeover #smile #dentistryworld #toothreplacement #missingteeth

This is a milled, temporary, implant supported bridge to try-in the mouth before the final bridge is made. With this bridge we can: fit on the implants occlusion (bite) vertical dimension (height of the bite)... contour of the teeth and comfort for adequate cleaning space under the bridge This is easily adjusted and modifications can be made during this important step before fabrication of the final bridge! #prosthodontics #fullarchimplants #fullarch #fullmouthrehabilitation #fullmouthreconstruction #dentalimplants #dentalimplantslosangeles

Minimal composite resin bonding and smoothing to fix chipped incisal edges. This is a nice alternative to veneers when indicated. #cosmeticdentistry #losangelesdentist #restorativedentistry #dentalcases #perfectsmile #smilemore #teethbonding

This patient was referred to us to improve the esthetics of the upper front teeth. After orthodontics and gum recontouring, restorations were completed for the upper front four teeth. Crowns were placed on the small lateral incisors. Instead of veneering the two front teeth, proper tooth size was made using composite resin bonding - no grinding of the two front teeth saves enamel!

This patient is an actress who needed to improve the appearance of her 2 front teeth. The 2 front teeth are implants and we were able to remove the gray shade and improve the shape and contour of these implant crowns. Using modern implant designs and close collaboration with our in-office lab allowed us to achieve the result. These are difficult implants to restore in the maxillary anterior. We switched the design of the implant abutments to gold anodized titanium bases with angulated screw channels for retrievability. Ivoclar ZirCAD Prime was used for the crowns. #dentalimplants #smile #implantcrown #toothreplacement #allceramiccrowns #perfectsmile #estheticdentistry #implantdentistry #implantology #prosthodontics #losangelesdentist #smilemakeover #naturalteeth @ Geach Dental

Replaced these 2 front crowns for a better shade match and to close the midline space. #dentalcases #cosmeticdentistry #prosthodontist #smile #downtownladentist #dentistlosangeles #dentalcrowns #ivoclarvivadent #restorativedentistry

These are minimally prepared porcelain veneers for the upper 6 and lower 4 front teeth. Minor gum contouring was necessary to level the tissue. A beautiful result for such a great patient!

The dark root shade of #4 and the recession at #6 makes this case a bit challenging. Good shade selection and crown contours helps to achieve more natural appearing restorations. #toothrestoration #implantcrowns #dentistry #implantdentistry #naturalteeth #prosthodontics #restorativedentistry #downtownladentist #prosthodontist #missingteeth #implantology @ Geach Dental
