Crowns & Bridges Pictures North Carolina

Shelley was unhappy about a number of things in her smile when she first came to see me in 2005 - the yellow and old porcelain/metal bridge that wasn't as bright as she wanted, the staining on the bottom teeth from lots of tea and coffee. She wanted a metal-free dental bridge, to brighten her whole smile, and of course to get a good cleaning.

coming soon!

This patient from Charlotte, North Carolina came to our practice and wanted to fix the spaces between his teeth. He was also concerned about his "black gums". This is where the gums that are usually pink have much more pigment in them. Unusual gum pigmentation characteristics typically occur more frequently in some cultures. A common complaint is having brown or dark brown gums. For some patients the effects are more pronounced, resulting in a darkened, solid shade of brown throughout a...

J. an avid NASCAR fan and particpant didn't like how his bridge looked. When he smiled, all he focused on was the fake tooth standing out. He felt his smile looked a bit caved in and wanted to have a brighter, more uniform smile. After a consult at Ballantyne Center for Dentistry, he decided to have a full evaluation done to explore his options of a smile makeover. After a comprehensive exam, we decided the best way to give him the smile he wanted was to replace the existing three unit brid...

Ms. J was no stranger to dental work. Six years previously, a dentist had placed crowns and bridges on the upper teeth. Ms. J just accepted the fact that her teeth looked theway they did and nothing more could be done about it. That is until her friend that works in the dental field told her about the new colors that were available in porcelain and the work the "guys in Ballantyne" could do. She came in for a consulation and after a quick review of her oral conditions, it was recommended sh...

Susan came to our office very unhappy with her smile. She had seen another dentist but was not satisfied with the results. At her initial appointment we spent time listening to her concerns and collecting the diagnostic information necessary to put together a cosmetic treatment plan. After reviewing the options with Susan we got started on her smile makeover. Susan needed gum surgery, Empress all ceramic crowns and veneers, and a porcelain bridge to complete her smile. We actually phased Su...

Julie was very concerned about her smile. Over the years she had worn down her front teeth and things had been patched up, but her teeth really didnt compliment her beautiful smile. Julie had a wedding coming up and she really wanted to be able to show off her great smile in the pictures. After a thourough exam it was determined that we would have to make her new teeth look longer to make up for the wear. We easily accomplished this by performing a laser gum lift and 8 Empress brand veneers...

Big J.T. didnt like the appearance of his smile. He dealt with the public on a daily basis as part of his business. Although he did not let the appearance of his teeth get in the way of laughing and smiling, he wanted to look better. After a consultation visit and a thorough new patient visit, we devised a plan to fix his smile. After a couple of root canals and 12 Authentic Bella porcelain-fused to ceramic crowns on the top teeth, Big J.T. is smiling from ear to ear. After viewing the fin...

Tonya was unhappy with the dental work that had previously been done to replace a missing tooth and also a crown that was discolored and so large that it didn't fit into her smile. The crown had metal in it that showed up near the gumline. After we discussed her options with her, Tonya decided she wanted her smile to be lighter and also more uniform. To acheive this we placed several crowns, veneers, and a new bridge to replace the missing tooth. We used Cercon, and Finesse Ceramic to achiev...

Erin is a young lady who was very uncomfortable with the spaces in her smile. She was missing permanent teeth that never did come in after her "baby" teeth fell out. Several years ago a dentist tried to close the gaps a little but, it just never looked right to her. After discussing all of Erin's concerns we decided to come up with a strategy that would give her a smile to be proud of. Erin was not interested in going through braces to straighten her teeth, she was looking for immediate resu...

Carol knew initially before coming to our practice that she wanted to have her teeth "fixed". She was looking for an office that had advanced technology and the ability to do some of the advanced complex procedures she would have to undergo to get her smile the way she wanted it. Carol spent alot of time researching and looking at different providers on the internet, so we were flattered when we found out she chose us! Carol had several teeth in the front that had unfortunately been treated...
