I love being a family dentist but what tickles my heart and makes my days FUN is a beautiful smile makeover like Glenda’s. Glenda had gorgeous teeth already, we just needed to put them in the right place. First, I aligned the gum levels with traditional braces. After her teeth were in the right position, […]

Did you know that your old restorations do not change color when you bleach your teeth? This patient’s old composite restoration (also known as bonding) became really obvious after the patient bleached her teeth. We replaced that restoration using 4 different shades and opacities of composite in order to get this beautiful natural result. I […]

The patient didn’t like the original restoration because it didn’t blend with the adjacent tooth and it was too short. Thankfully she found our website and knew that we could fix her up. The difference between these restorations is hundreds of hours of continuing education. I have learned from the best artists in the dental […]

I hope everyone is happy, healthy, and enjoying time at home. I miss my favorite faces, both teammates and patients! Here’s what we’ve all been up to, can’t wait to see you all soon. “Hello my wonderful patients! I hope you all are doing great and are in good health. As for my family, we […]

As my practice has grown, so has my love for photography!  I really feel that you can’t fully grasp the impact of the smile until you see it within the full face.  My last article for Spear Education is for dentists who want to take better portraits. Click here to read it!

My heart is so full! This is one of my favorite texts ever! Back in 2018, I wrote an article for Spear Education about how to do beautiful anterior composite bonding.  You can read the article here. Traditional composite bonding leaves a visible line between the natural tooth and composite.  Using my technique, we blend […]

In between continuing education courses a few years ago, I was encouraged to hike the Grand Canyon. That nudge ultimately led me to hiking 17 miles in one day! Being a true dental nerd, I thought of all the ways that my experience hiking the Grand Canyon was like the journey that dentists go through […]

I loooooooooove working with composite, and especially on front teeth!  My latest article for Spear Education is about what to do when things go wrong.  Yes, unfortunately sometimes dentistry isn’t perfect and we have to fix things.  This article is for dentists who think they don’t have time to make it right.  It shows the […]

This poor dude fell at the skate park and was scared about what would happen next. He picked up the piece of his lower tooth and thankfully we were able to glue that sucker back on! We restored the other chipped teeth with some composite bonding and voila! Back to the skate park in an […]
