	Two visit Smile Makeover with 18 Porcelain Dental Veneers in a patient who wanted to close teeth gap spaces. Oral Rehabilitation Before and After Pictures. The patient refused orthodontics teeth braces and only wanted cosmetic dentistry. He also knew he wanted exactly 18 porcelain teeth veneers. These porcelain veneers were placed in two visits over six hours.
	Smile Makeover oral rehabilitation. This dental reconstruction involved our entire in-office team of cosmetic dentists and dental specialists. This patient has a combination of Porcelain Teeth Veneers, Porcelain Dental Crowns and Dental Implants. Also note the aesthetic benefit of Cosmetic Periodontal Gum Surgery in the lower anterior.
	One week Smile makeover dental reconstruction of a phobic Wall Street executive. Total treatment time was about nine hours in two visits during one business week: Monday (four hours) and Friday (five hours). This patient hid his dental condition for over a decade by never smiling. In the first row of photos, note that the teeth bite was over-closed due to a prior history of an eating disorder, now controlled, and a current teeth grinding habit. An Oral Surgery consultation with panoramic x-ray (second row) was performed prior to treatment to evaluate opening the dental bite. The third row shows x-rays taken after the Endodontist completed eight root canals on the first day on tooth #'s: 6 - 11 and 14, 15. The fourth row shows the lab-processed 11 unit - 11 teeth - temporary dental bridge and the cast gold post and cores (with Kaitlyn loops) for the root canal treated teeth. The fifth row shows the cast gold post and cores cemented. The sixth row shows the lab-processed provisional temporary dental bridge in place after the Oral Surgeon extracted tooth #'s: 3 - 5 and 12, crown lengthening gum surgery was performed on tooth #'s: 6 - 11, and a distal wedge was performed on #15. The patient will have a final porcelain-metal teeth bridge made after the gums heal. Dental implants may also be placed in the upper right posterior. A bite plate is also necessary to try to mitigate the force of teeth clenching grinding. Referral for pharmacological management of anxiety is also worthwhile.

A combination of 20 all-porcelain Zirconia crowns, porcelain teeth veneers and a lower front dental bridge were used to treat natural tooth discoloration (and yellow old teeth crowns) and a severe bilateral, posterior cross-bite. The cross bite means the upper back teeth closed down inside the lower back teeth. Total treatment time was about four weeks.
	A fast and simple dental smile makeover. Closing a diastema - the gap space between the two upper front teeth - with dental bonding. Note how the teeth bonding contours around the gingival papilla point - the gums.
Information about these dental photos In medicine and dentistry "left" and "right" are based upon the orientation of the patient's body and not how they appear in a photograph of a smile. For example, a reference to the upper left teeth will actually appear to be on the right side when viewing a picture of the face and similarly an upper right tooth will appear to be on the left side. Many words in dentistry like oral and mouth have a similar meaning and are frequently used together to help our readers find specific words they best understand. This is particularly important because a majority of our visitors are from countries where English is not their primary language. Maxilla or maxillary refer to the upper jaw. Mandible or mandibular refer to the lower jaw. There are many other similar word combinations used throughout this website because our pages are read by patients and dentists. A few of the most common are discussed here. Tooth decay, tooth cavity and dental caries all mean the same thing. Tooth, teeth and dental are also frequently interchanged as in teeth veneers or dental veneer laminate. Oral rehabilitation and dental reconstruction mean smile makeover. The word for x-ray may be used with or without a hyphen (this is true for other words too) and can also be called a radiograph.
