We love the confidence boost it provides our patients!

AFTER ▶ The process of making implant bridges is a complex multistep process that requires meticulous planning, working with amazing surgeons and talented dental laboratories. Although the process may take many months, the end result provides a strong, stable foundation for a long lasting bite. Our patients can finally chew on healthy food that dramatically improves overall health Most of all, our patients love finally being able to eat a steak and salad!!
BEFORE ◀ This is one of the first steps in a large full mouth rehabilitation case. With the back teeth missing and the patient chewing only on their front teeth, the front teeth tend to chip and break. Our first step is to provide the patient some strong and stable back teeth to chew on as posterior support. Dental implants are the closest option we have that feel and function like natural teeth. When replacing multiple teeth with implants, it is imperative to take in depth records, a 3D intraoral digital impression and a 3D CBCT x-ray to help create a blueprint for the entire procedure.

We start with a wax up that serves as a “blueprint” for the case and it’s a multistep process that requires meticulous planning and sequencing.

AFTER ▶ At Kirkwood Family Dental, our first choice of treatment is always the non-invasive or least invasive option. We etched the tooth as the first step followed by applying a resin material that “soaks” into the white spots to change their refractive index.
BEFORE ◀ White spots or decalcifications are a common occurrence on teeth, especially after removing braces. If they aren’t deep, they can easily be treated with a technique called resin infiltration.

BEFORE ◀ Back teeth deserve the same love and attention as front teeth! Back teeth play a vital role in chewing, biting and even smiling. They provide support and reduce the biting load on the front teeth and prevent them from breaking and chipping.
AFTER ▶ Dental Implants, bridges or a classic cast metal partial denture can all provide a stable bite that will help our patients chew. Ceramic crowns in the front provide an amazing color match. A smile makeover is a complex process involving many steps and treatments. At Kirkwood Family Dental we work with a exceptional team of specialists!
BEFORE ◀ Every smile makeover is different but the goal is always to help our patients achieve healthy teeth with a stable bite that can function long term. The back teeth take most of the chewing forces and help support the front teeth reducing the chances of them breaking or chipping
