Therese is a sweet grandmother of nine who wanted a brighter smile and asked Dr. Cheek about whitening her teeth. But she also wished she had a bigger smile that showed more teeth. After learning how her dark, worn, and broken front teeth could be lengthened and brightened with veneers, Therese decided to go for it. She is thrilled with the results. She says that her family immediately noticed how beautiful she looked after her smile makeover, and she regularly gets compliments on it.
This attractive school nurse wanted to change the shape and color of her teeth. She was congenitally missing two of her front teeth as a child, and braces had been placed to close the spaces, but the teeth just did not have the right shape to fool the eye. We placed 8 veneers on her upper front teeth to correct the shape of the teeth and brighten her smile.
She always had a kind and warm expression before, but now the children comment how beautiful her teeth are!
This kind-eyed grandpa had cracks in his center front teeth, so crowns were planned. As we talked further, we decided that Grandpa’s smile would look amazing if we placed porcelain veneers on the adjacent teeth. We first bleached his teeth so we could provide restorations to match his newly brightened smile. At first Grandpa was reluctant to close the gap between his teeth because he was well known for it. We let him wear temporary restorations home so his wife and friends could decide if they preferred his smile with or without the gap. They all voted for the final result you see here! Everyone is happy with Grandpa’s handsome smile!
This beautiful grandmother had suffered damage to her teeth due to undiagnosed acid reflux. Now that her condition was under control she wanted to protect and beautify her teeth.

This beautiful 15-year-old girl was born with an enamel condition that caused her teeth to have discoloration and pitting. These photos show the first step in her smile transformation – porcelain restorations on her upper front six teeth. It was important to her and her mom that her tooth shape not be changed, and our ceramist did a great job making her smile look like just a better version of herself!
Kelly, a handsome father of three, had teeth that were just too small for his size and stature. He was unhappy with his smile and also recognized that his teeth did not fit together well. After some orthodontics (braces), we placed 11 crowns which totally changed his appearance! Because his teeth fit together better, he also found that his ability to chew foods had greatly improved. He now smiles confidently and remarked that during the weeks right after receiving the new restorations, he kept doing a “double take” when looking in the mirror. He and his family love his new smile!
Our long-time patient had a removable prosthesis for years but wanted something more stable and permanent. Together we created a plan to remove her remaining upper teeth, place six implants, and custom make a hybrid acrylic implant bridge. The procedures were completed, and she went home that same day with new teeth! She loves that her smile looks so natural and that the appliance is retained by implants. Now she can chew with confidence knowing that her teeth won’t shift or move.
John has been a patient of ours for 18 years. He had broken his front tooth, so bonding was placed to repair the damage. While the repair was satisfactory, John really wanted to do something more aesthetic with all of his front teeth. So we placed 7 ceramic crowns and veneers, greatly improving his smile. Additionally, he is in the process of having implants placed in the posterior areas where a couple of teeth are missing, which will complete his new smile!

Three metal-free ceramic crowns, a veneer, and a new ceramic bridge were placed to help her confidently smile as wide as she wanted!
This beautiful 27-year-old young lady disliked the space between her front
two teeth. Because her teeth were narrow, we decided to place bonding
instead of closing the space with braces, and the patient was glad to have
an immediate fix. In 30 minutes the space was closed, and the patient was
elated. She told us that if she had known it was that simple to make her
smile so attractive, she would have had it done years earlier!

Our high-school-aged patient, Haley, had just finished orthodontics and wanted the small lateral incisors that she was born with to be restored to blend in with the natural shape of her other front teeth. We made Haley two CAD/CAM fabricated porcelain veneers that we designed and fabricated in the office, and she went home that same day with her new smile. The next day, her friends complimented her on how great her teeth looked with her braces off. The veneers looked so natural that no one even knew they weren’t the same teeth that were hidden under her braces before!
This long-term patient had disliked her crooked, discolored upper front teeth for many years. Many of them had old, leaking fillings which made the teeth look gray.

This middle-aged man had old porcelain fused to metal crowns on his two front teeth. New all ceramic restorations were placed on his front 6 teeth to whiten his smile and get rid of the unattractive black lines that were above the old crowns.
this patient came in for an emergency exam with one of the cusps broken off of his molar tooth. The tooth behind had cracks, so together we decided to place ceramic crowns on both teeth. Using our CEREC CAD/CAM equipment, we were able to fabricate these crowns in our office and he was able to walk out the same day with these beautiful new restorations.
This younger lady was missing two of her front teeth at birth, and the spaces had previously been closed with braces as well as 4 porcelain fused to metal crowns. She disliked the color and shape of the crowns and felt they looked too opaque and unnatural. We removed the old crowns and replaced them with ceramic ones and also added a veneer to each canine. This is a case I will always remember because she looked at herself in the mirror and cried, trembling. She explained that she never realized her smile could look this beautiful!
This young girl was unhappy with the spaces between her teeth. Because her teeth were small, together we decided not to close the spaces with braces, but instead placed bonding to fill in those gaps.

This attractive lady always showed up in our office professionally dressed and manicured and felt that her smile did not go with the image she wanted to project.

We fitted her teeth with ceramic veneers, and now she is so proud to smile big!
This middle-aged man had teeth that were chipping and wearing. He was also unhappy with the spaces between them. Because he grinds his teeth, we made his ceramic crowns with metal on the back to protect the lower teeth from his grinding habit and made him a bite guard to wear at night.
This older gentleman was missing two of his front teeth from birth. Many years ago a dentist tried to cover his canines with porcelain fused to metal crowns to try to make them look like the lateral incisors he was missing. He was very nervous about placing the six restorations we were encouraging him to get, but once we removed the old crowns and placed new ones on the front four teeth as well as crowns on each tooth on either side of those four, he was thrilled with his new smile and felt his sales career would even be improved by his new look!
This attractive lady disliked her front six teeth as she felt they looked slanted, and she wanted a more even colored and straighter smile. We removed those two crowns, replacing them with new all ceramic ones, and added 4 veneers to restore the front six teeth in her smile.
This middle-age lady disliked the color of her teeth and felt the front two stuck out a little too much. After bleaching her teeth, we placed veneers on the front four teeth giving her the wider, prettier smile that she wanted.
