Smile Gallery: Cosmetic Dentistry

After years of dealing with worn teeth and a smile he was not proud of, this patient underwent a cosmetic makeover of his lower teeth. This wonderful patient's treatment consisted of veneers, a new bridge and new porcelain crowns.  The transformation is stunning and our patient was once again proud to smile!. 

This young lady was unhappy with her smile after her braces were removed. She thought her teeth were too narrow and short. Dr. Jordan did porcelain veneers on her 4 front teeth. She was ecstatic with the result and said that she was no longer afraid to smile!

This wonderful young man came to us with a history of alcohol abuse.  During his years of addiction, his dental care was neglected and avoided.  Fortunately, he went through treatment and freed himself from the grasp of alcohol.  Crowns were completed on his front teeth which gave him more confidence to go out in public!

This young man had been battling a smile that he was not proud of and hurting gums.  He decided it was time for a permanent solution.  Four cosmetic crowns were done that dramatically improved his smile and confidence!

This wonderful lady recently suffered from a failed dental bridge.  She had tried a partial denture and could not tolerate it.  The partial was uncomfortable and she had a difficult time talking.  She was interested in restoring her top teeth with dental implants and fixed teeth.  Dr. Jordan and his team completed the teeth-in-a-day procedure and she left with a fixed set of teeth.  These teeth could only be removed by a dentist.  After healing for 4 months, a final set of fixed teeth was fabricated completing her beautiful smile transformation.  Her teeth are also rock-solid!

This individual had broken, worn and chipped front teeth.  The front teeth had been filled and the past and the patient was tired of how they looked.  The patient and Dr. Jordan agreed on a plan to fix the two front teeth.  After shaping the two front teeth, the patient was allowed to test drive temporary crowns to make sure that he liked the size, shape and color.  The final result was great and in the words of the patient, "To say I'm happy ...

After dealing with broken and worn front teeth, this patient sought dental help.  His broken front teeth prevented him from smiling.  The severe wear and bad bite required him to go through orthodontics to open his bite and create space for restorations.  After completing orthodontics, direct composite bonding along with porcelain veneers were used to change his smile.  We are very thankful that we could a part of this life changing transformation!

This patient presented to us with a dental implant to replace a front tooth that was previously placed out of state. His other front tooth had previously had root canal treatment and a large composite restoration. The first treatment done was decay removal and cosmetic bonding on adjacent teeth to restore the correct width of the teeth. Finally, crowns were done on the dental implant and the adjacent front tooth. The result was fantastic!

This patient lost a lower front tooth due to a chronic infection.  The infection had destroyed much of the remaining bone and replacement with a dental implant would have required numerous bone graft procedures.  Dr. Jordan and the patient elected to be conservative and replace the tooth with a One Wing Maryland Bridge also known as a resin bonded bridge.  Replacing teeth in this manner does not require grinding any teeth down significantly.  No numbing was needed in any of the procedures to replace this tooth.  We were thrilled with the outcome!

This young man broke his front tooth and had a root canal. He was referred to our office by another dentist to make his final crown. A custom porcelain crown was made. He told us that the final product felt and looked just like his tooth did before it broke.

This lovely woman came to us with a couple big problems. She previously had a front tooth pulled due to a large abscess and had decay under a temporary bridge. The large abscess resulted in bone destruction. The first picture shows the incisor tooth being replaced by a temporary bridge. A dental implant was placed for the missing tooth and allowed to heal. A bone graft was placed at the same time as the dental implant to replace bone that was lost from the infection. After healing and allowing bone to fuse with the implant, a porcelain crown was ...

After 40 years of service, this bridge to replace missing anterior teeth needed to be replaced.  The new porcelain bridge provided a youthful appearance and rejuvenated his smile. 

This lower front tooth was gray and black due to root canal treatment and a leaking composite filling. Internal bleaching was done without the need to numb the patient. After the tooth was lightened to his satisfaction, a new white filling was completed. This was a minimally invasive procedure that gave outstanding results!

Cosmetic dental work can be life changing!  This young lady was born with a very small upper incisor.  When she was a teenager, a composite filling was added to the tooth to make it look wider.  This bonding was well done but over time, the filling had stained and discolored.  Dr. Jordan and the patient decided that a porcelain veneer would provide the best long term cosmetic result.  During the procedure, the old filling was removed and an impression was taken of the upper teeth.  Photographs were taken to help the dental lab match the shade for the final veneer.  ...

This patient had a back lower molar that started to hurt when he would bite into foods.  He also said that he could feel some discomfort with cold and hot drinks.  Dr. Jordan examined the area and did some testing to determine which tooth was causing the pain.  As you can see from the first picture, there is a small crack line starting at one end of the tooth and extending towards the cheek side of the tooth.  After removing the old silver filling, you can clearly see the crack and which direction it spreads.  A dental crown was needed ...

Routine x-rays revealed decay on the back side of this tooth under a silver filling.  On the front side of this tooth, there was a tooth colored filling that was touching the silver filling.  Removal of both fillings revealed decay on both the front and back of the tooth.  After careful and meticulous decay removal, the tooth was restored with a composite.  The shade match between the filling and tooth was almost unnoticeable. 

This lovely young lady wanted her smile fixed before getting married.  She had a history of breaking her front tooth at a young age and it had been fixed over 10 times.  The tooth adjacent to her front tooth was what is know as a peg lateral incisor.  These teeth are very small and narrow.  She was instructed to start whitening her teeth at home for 1 month prior to having her smile reconstruction.  With the patient's input and Dr. Jordan's suggestion, a porcelain veneer was done on the larger tooth and a composite veneer was completed on the lateral ...

This gentleman had a front tooth removed due to a fractured root. Due to an infection, the tooth was removed and the bone and gums were allowed to heal. A dental implant was placed by Dr. Brad Jordan and then a custom crown was made. The replaced tooth looks very natural and functions like a real tooth!

This pleasant lady had 2 molars with problems. The farthest back molar had a broken filling and the next molar had a cavity on the back side of the tooth. Dr. Bradley Jordan removed both of the old fillings and the decay. As you can see, both teeth had extensive damage. Bonded composite restorations were placed to replace the missing tooth structure. The final restorations were very smooth and natural looking.

This pleasant woman came to us missing two of her upper left teeth.  At that time, she was wearing a flipper to replace the teeth but admitted that she would cover her mouth when she smiled and laughed.  Dr. Jordan placed 2 dental implants in the area and allowed the area to heal.  An impression (mold) was taken and 2 custom abutments and 2 porcelain crowns were placed.  She was ecstatic with the result and no longer felt like she needed to cover her mouth when she smiled!

This wonderful woman had a back molar needing attention. The tooth had a large silver filling with a cavity around it. The tooth was weakened from the large old silver filling and would be even weaker after the decay was removed. Dr. Jordan decided that the best form of treatment would be a crown. You can see how much decay was under the old filling by looking at the before pictures. The decay was removed and the missing tooth structure was replaced with a bonded composite filling. The end result was a beautiful porcelain crown.

This patient fractured a cusp on one of her molars. The ideal treatment would have been a crown to fix the problem and prevent more of the tooth from breaking. However, the patient wanted to try a large filling.

This young college student came to us concerned about the appearance of her front teeth. He front teeth were damaged from erosion, wear and decay. After discussing the causes and treatment options, Dr. Jordan shaped the front two teeth for crowns. We are very pleased with the final color and natural look of the crowns.

This young lady developed decay and a loose post under a crown. Unfortunately, the tooth could not be repaired and was removed. After a period of healing, a dental implant was placed by Dr. Brad Jordan. The final porcelain crown matches the crowns on her other front teeth very well.

This tooth had an old, average-size silver filling. However, the silver (amalgam) filling had several crack lines in it. When a silver filling has cracks in it like these, bacteria can get through the cracks and cause dental decay. The amalgam filling was removed which revealed a significant amount of decay. Fortunately, the decay did not go into the nerve of the tooth and it was restored with a large, bonded composite.

This handsome gentleman avoided smiling due to his chipped, worn and discolored teeth. His smile makeover involved Invisalign, a cosmetic gum lift and 14 veneers. The transformation was life changing and he looked younger and felt more confident!

At first glance this looks like a real problem. What you are seeing however, is mostly stain from coffee and tea. The white material between the teeth is tartar. One of our hygienists at Lone Oak Dental removed the unsightly stain and polished the teeth back to how they should be.

Two front teeth had to be removed due to resorption and a fracture. This patient elected to have the missing teeth replaced with a bridge.

Years of clenching and grinding led to these worn and shortened teeth. In order to create a more functional, beautiful smile, Dr. Jordan placed crowns and bridges on all of his teeth. He reported back to us that his wife couldn't stop kissing him!

This wonderful patient came to us all the way from Colorado to have a dental implant done. At her first evaluation appointment, an x-ray was taken and Dr. Jordan determined that a minor sinus lift was needed to allow room for a dental implant. The sinus lift and insertion of the dental implant went perfectly! After healing, a tooth colored crown was placed on top of the implant and as you can see, it looks very life-like. She was very pleased.

This gentleman broke a lower incisor and the tooth could not be fixed. The tooth was removed and a narrow diameter implant was placed and allowed to heal. After osseointegration of the implant, an impression (mold) was taken. From the impression, a custom abutment and full zirconia crown were made. The result is life-like and strong. Zirconia crowns resist fracture and wear similar to natural teeth.
