Corrected minor crowding on this patient’s lower front teeth with Invisalign! Did you have braces when you were younger and your teeth moved because you lost or simply just didn’t wear your retainers? Or, have you always wanted a straighter smile but don’t want a mouth full of wires and brackets? Invisalign might be the perfect solution for you! If not for esthetics, having straighter teeth plays a major role in the health of your gums since they’re easier to clean! @invi...salign #doitforyourgums #sometimesidoalittledentistry #toothtuesday #dentistry #sfdentists #marinadentists #oralhygieneissexy #orthodontics #smile See more

Spotted: frayed Oral-B toothbrush on the corner of Pine and Kearny Streets. The owner probably knew that it was time to change their toothbrush! The ADA (American Dental Association) recommends changing out your toothbrush every 3-4 months or sooner, if the bristles are frayed (exhibit A) or if you have had a cold! #themoreyouknow #litterbug #dentistry #sfdentists #marinadentists #oralhygiene #cleanteetharehappyteeth ... #ADA #OralB See more

#FBF to my first dental mission trip in Jamaica! In my 2nd year in dental school at UOP we had the pleasure of serving hundreds of Jamaicans in need of routine dental care. We performed countless tooth extractions, fillings, and cleanings in a short week’s time. The happy smiles we received in return was priceless. What a life changing experience! #jamaicanmewanttogoback #greatshapeinc #1000smiles #sandalsjamaica #henryschein #jamaicadentalmissiontrip2012 #uopdugonischoolofdentistry #

Who likes puzzles? I do! Loved putting this cracked tooth back together with an onlay, or the way I like to explain it to patients, with a porcelain puzzle piece. Choosing to restore this tooth with an onlay rather than a really big filling was a joint decision after informing the patient about all of the risks, benefits, and alternatives. Plus, my composite placing skills could never out-do the talented artistry and precision of @california.dental.arts
