These were fun to deliver. I will usually have a wax up created to open vertical or order duratemps from the bigger labs. I’m lucky enough to have a local ceramic crown artist to work with on these bigger cases.

Definitely need to up my photography set up. Top photo is the temporaries, bottom photo is the finals from the lab. I usually wait until after the delivery day to get more photos.

This patient came to me edentulous in the posterior maxilla. After talking options she opted for dental implants to restore her missing function. Two dental implants were placed using a cad/cam generated guide with concurrent crestal approach sinus lifting. While the two implants were integrating to the jawbone, we decided to replace some old crowns anterior to the site with more modern and esthetic ceramic crowns. This patient is very happy with the results and looking forward to restoring other areas of the mouth utilizing modern techniques offered at my office.

Two implants placed in the perfect location using a CAD/CAM (computer aided design/computer aided manufacturing) guide. The crowns show the precise result of this modern technique.

We are continuing to see patients for dental emergencies (toothache/swelling). Please call 707 344 5756 if you or your family member need to be seen.

We’ve been walking and riding bikes at the Benicia State Park! It’s gorgeous today!
