    This young man chipped his tooth while getting a rebound in a basketball game. Both front teeth were restored with porcelain veneers. Notice that the restorations were not one solid color but were characterized to blend in with his other teeth. At Classic Dental Smiles, our goal is to mimic what nature has given us both aesthetically and functionally.

    This Rancho Bernardo teenager had just gotten her braces off in time for summer – but there was a minor problem! During her orthodontic work, plaque accumulation created unsightly white spots on her teeth (areas of decalcification) as well as areas of decay. We first whitened her teeth then restored areas of decay with tooth colored white fillings for a perfect match.The pictures speak for themselves as the result was simply amazing and the patient had a renewed sense of confidence in her smile just in time for the beach.

    Here we have a series of teeth with old silver fillings that are need of replacement. Decay and fractures made these teeth weak and prone to breaking. The decay and amalgam fillings were removed and the teeth restored with all porcelain crowns to greatly improve the health and strength of the area.

    These crowns were created to replace old silver (amalgam) fillings that were leaking and had decay under them. Both the top view and side view are presented to show how esthetic these CEREC crowns can be. They are made of a very strong type of porcelain that has no metal underneath, making the transition between the tooth and the restoration very aesthetic. The best part is that these crowns were completed in one visit in the comfort of our office in Rancho Bernardo!

    These two front teeth had white-fillings (resin veneers) on the front for over 20 years. Natural staining and deterioration of the material occurred over that length of time and both teeth were restored and renewed with porcelain veneers. The color was matched to his existing teeth for a more pleasing, natural smile.

    This Rancho Bernardo patient was another case of old, weathered veneers that needed replacement. The difference in old versus new materials is quite evident. Our goal was to create two veneers that blended in seamlessly with the other teeth, so that they would go unnoticed in everyday life. We want beautiful, natural smiles, not just two gleaming white front teeth.
