Skip

Skip had worn his teeth down over the years and knew he needed to do something about it but it took the start of some TMJ discomfort to get the process going. After determining his optimal jaw relationship with state-of-the-art computerized technology, Skip wore an orthotic (plastic biteplate which repositions the lower jaw) to confirm his new bit was stable and confortable. We then restored his worn teeth back to ideal form in a new and healthy position. We think you’ll also agree that the esthetic appearance of his smile is the crowning touch for this handsome guy.

Linda

Linda had some gum recession and subsequent erosion of the root surfaces. Also with the recession came the dark space between her front 2 teeth. By restoring her front 8 teeth with veneers we were able to present her with a beautiful smile that corrects all of the above.

Terry

Terry is a very successful businessman who, until recently, never gave any thought to what cosmetic dentistry could do for him. After discussing the possibilities with Dr. Godino, we decided to restore his upper 10 teeth to improve his smile. The results are very nice, and a complement to Terry’s great, vivacious personality.

Sandy

Sandy has had very uncomfortable TMJ symptoms for years. Also many of her old crowns/filling needed replacing and she shows wear from years of grinding. After relieving her TMJ symptoms with a neuromuscular orthotic which repositioned her bite to a healthy one, we restored her teeth in the new bite relationship. These pictures show the upper arch beautifully restored and the lower arch with an LVI orthotic placed. The lowers are currently being restored and we’ll have the final pictures for you shortly.

Nancy

Nancy had been considering beautifying her smile for many years, but had put it off many times. She decided to ‘just do it’ and what a great difference it has made. Now we can’t get Nancy to stop smiling!

Mike

Mike is a distinguished member of the health care community and a nice smile is important to him. Knowing the importance of a healthy TMJ, we established a neuromuscular bite with an orthotic appliance and then restored his teeth to the new bite. Now not only does he have a handsome smile but a healthy one.

Arlene

Arlene was having some TMJ issues with discomfort in her jaw. Through our state-of-the-art computerized equipment we were able to find her optimum jaw position and put her in a neuromuscular orthotic to that position. After a short time of adjusting the orthotic to a bite position that was comfortable, we restored her upper teeth into the new bite position. The result is a comfortable, stable and healthy bite relationship with the added benefit of giving Arlene a beautiful smile.

Kevin

Kevin had a discrepancy between his teeth size and upper jaw arch size. His teeth were too small to fit his arch so he had multiple spaces present. Had he done orthodontics to close all spaces, he would have had a display of too many teeth across his smile. To ideally close all spaces, veneers were done to the front 6 teeth. Even though in an ideal sense the premolars could have been done for an enhanced esthetic result, veneering only the front 6 teeth gave an outstanding result.

Dana

Dana is a very successful businessman who wanted to improve his smile from not only a color perspective but also in form. You can see the large spacing between the front teeth and older discolored fillings. We placed veneers on the front 10 teeth in both the upper and lower arch and the result is just what Dana was looking for – a beautiful smile.

Frank

Frank was 74 when he decided to restore all his teeth due to many years of wear. Many people that age wonder if it’s worth going through such an undertaking. Yet Frank did, and he’s been enjoying his “new” smile going on 9 years now.

Kimberly

Aside from wanting a nicer smile, Kimberly did not like the way she showed a lot of gum tissue when she smiled. Some crown lengthening was performed, and 10 veneers/crowns were placed. These not only eliminated the gummy smile but restored the teeth to more ideal proportions, thus presenting a beautiful appearance.
