This patient had struggled with chronic health issues for many years. She is now stable and came to us with a desire to improve her oral health and brighten her smile. Dr. Hulver completed a full mouth makeover using a combination of crowns, whitening and cosmetic bonding. The patient is now able to function fully, smile wide and live her best life!
This patient was unhappy with the spacing that had developed between her upper front teeth, as well the overall shape of the teeth. We completed KoR whitening, then Dr. Hulver applied cosmetic bonding using a technique that requires little to no removal of tooth structure. The bonding is polished to a high shine, then looks and feels almost exactly like porcelain veneers! This treatment is a fantastic option for patients that want to reshape the teeth, but want to avoid cutting away their healthy enamel.
This patient had veneers and crowns that were placed over 20 years ago. He was interested in replacing them, as well as addressing the remaining upper teeth. He underwent KoR whitening on the lower teeth to brighten everything, then the upper teeth were restored with a combination of porcelain crowns and veneers. This patient also has moderate sleep apnea, so a new Prosomnus sleep appliance was made for him once his cosmetic treatment was completed. Now he can smile more and snore less!
This patient invested in a smile makeover for his upper teeth several years ago - then decided he wanted the lower front teeth to match. He wanted to keep treatment as conservative as possible. He underwent KoR Whitening, then Dr. Hulver completed cosmetic bonding on the lower teeth. No tooth structure had to be removed, but the difference in appearance is drastic!
This patient had crowns/veneers placed on her upper teeth many years ago, several of which were breaking down. She had two infected teeth that required extraction, and her lower teeth were crowded and out of line. With a combination of orthodontic treatment, extractions, implants and porcelain crowns - we were able to give her the smile she had always wanted!
This young man had been wanting to whiten his teeth for years, then finally decided to take the plunge. He was ecstatic with the results! No other treatment was completed - just our in-office KoR Whitening system. What a difference!
Another case where the patient mainly wanted to focus on the upper front teeth. He was missing two permanent front teeth, his canines had been moved to fill their place. He was unhappy with the current shape, wanted a more natural appearance. We whitened, then completed his smile makeover with porcelain veneers on the front four teeth. What a difference!
This patient hadn't had a dental cleaning in a few years, which resulted in heavy tartar build-up in many areas of the mouth. Once the cleaning was finished and he saw the photos, he said, "Are you sure you didn't just give me brand new teeth??"
A professional dental cleaning can make a huge difference for your overall health and well-being. Give us a call to schedule today!
You deserve a beautiful smile no matter your age! This patient in her 80's had several failing fillings, and older dental work across her front teeth. She decided to revamp her smile with porcelain crowns across the upper front teeth. Now she's smiling bigger than ever!
This patient had to have an upper molar extracted because of an infection. Dr. Hulver extracted the tooth, and placed a bone graft to prepare the site for an implant. After 3 months of healing, an implant was placed. Once the implant had fully healed, the area was restored with a new crown. The patient was so excited to be able to chew normally again!
Another incidence of an upper molar requiring extraction due to an infection. This area was treated with an extraction, bone graft, then implant and crown. Dental implants are an amazing option for areas of missing teeth!
Our 3D CBCT imaging system allows us to precisely plan each of our implant cases. We can clearly see the dimensions and shape of the area of surgery, and can create a guide ensure proper placement. Even in tight spaces, or difficult regions - we know we're going to have successful placement because we can see and plan everything ahead of time. This is quickly becoming the standard of care for dental implants. If you're going to a doctor for an implant, make sure they have 3D imaging capabilities!
For this case, we used the CBCT to ensure the surgical area ...
This young female patient hated the way the internal white spots looked on her front teeth. With a simple technique that requires just one visit, and no removal of tooth structure - the white spots were removed! Call us today to schedule your consult for this amazing treatment!
This patient had old bonding on the two front teeth that was stained and breaking down, as well as slight wear of the adjacent front teeth. We were able to makeover his smile with whitening and four porcelain veneers!
Patient had old, failing bonding on the upper front teeth. She was unhappy with the discoloration and spacing. Porcelain veneers allowed us to achieve a beautiful smile - she was ecstatic!
This patient chipped his two front teeth and was unhappy with their appearance. Dr. Hulver was able to repair the fractured areas and blend them seamlessly with the rest of the tooth. This patient also grinds his teeth and will be fitted for a nightguard to further protect these teeth in the future!
This patient had chipped one of his front teeth many years ago, and was unhappy with the repair. He had a great cleaning with our hygiene department, then we replaced the tooth-colored bonding on the front tooth. This type of bonding procedure only takes about an hour and can make a huge difference for your smile!
This patient wanted to have his old, "silver" fillings removed and replaced with tooth-colored restorations. We removed the older fillings and replaced with esthetic porcelain crowns. This type of replacement can be achieved with either porcelain or sometimes with bonded resin. Call us today if you're tired of seeing those dark fillings!
This patient had infections and decay in the two back molars, which required them be taken out. The molars were replaced with implants, then all three teeth were restored with beautiful porcelain crowns.
This patient had a chip on the front tooth that he wanted fixed. Prior to restoring the tooth we did a good cleaning, then whitened his smile with our in-office Zoom! protocol. Once the patient was happy with the shade of the teeth, we restored the chip using tooth-colored bonded resin. This is a relatively simple fix, but made a world of difference for the patient's confidence!
This patient had a minor accident that resulted in chipping several of her front teeth. The fractured areas were repaired with tooth-colored bonding, she was back to smiling within an hour!
If you're looking for compassionate, state-of-the-art professional dental expertise, look no further than Metropolitan Dental Centre conveniently located near George Mason University. I put off fixing a broken molar due to coronavirus closures. This office is clean and adheres to disease prevention protocols. They spent the better part of a morning fixing my tooth and fitting me for a crown. I've been back for a cleaning and another tooth repair. Highly recommend!
