‘Can you fix this one tooth? It looks terrible when I talk.’ Yes!!! We can do ortho or we can do it restoratively. Ortho (braces) is always a great option but it does require wearing retainers for the rest of your life and may not be worth it if there is only one tooth you want to change. The turned tooth collects a lot of stain on this patient (he likes coffee and red wine!) and he wanted a quicker fix that wouldn’t mean a lifetime of retainers. #cosmeticdentistry #veneers #estheticdentistry #smilesmatter #dentistrylife #porcelainveneers #estheticdentistry #restoringconfidence #lajolladentist #luxatemp

Loving this beauty and her gorgeous smile. Bre is Dr Winter’s right hand. She is as beautiful inside as she is out. And her attention to detail is 👌🏻. #bestteamever #beautifulsmile #seriouslyamazing assistant #welovebre #teamofexperts #sandiegodentist

Here are some lower teeth, before and in temporaries. This patient had severe wear due to grinding so we opened up his bite and rebuilt his teeth in a more comfortable jaw position. The aesthetics were a bonus. These are no prep veneers where we just add material (ceramic) to his existing teeth. #noprepveneers #preplessveneers #sandiegocosmeticdentistry #cosmeticdentistry #luxatemp #smilemakeover #restoringhealth @dmgamerica @utahvalleydentallab

Can you guess which patient had a smile makeover? #cosmeticdentistry #smilemakeover #lajolladentist #veneers #estheticdentistry #smilesmatter #restoringconfidence #welovethislady

Can you guess which celebrity smile this is? Notice how the front 6 teeth are veneered...but not the rest of the smile. #lajolladentist #veneers

The updated and yet still natural looking teeth. The dark bands across her teeth are tetracycline staining from her youth (we don’t give developing kids tetracycline anymore!). She broke her front tooth when she was young also. And she just wanted to smile confidently. #cosmeticdentistry #lajolla #restoringconfidence #smilemakeover #smile #esthetics #estheticdentistry #sandiegocosmeticdentistry

Happy 4th from us!

Beautiful smile for this lovely patient. #cosmeticdentistry #lajolla #aestheticdentistry #esthetics #smilemakeover

Another smile makeover this week...the bottom picture is the temporary veneers. These are the blueprint for the final aesthetics, and an important part of the process. These are where we make changes based on what the veneers look like in real life on this face. #cosmeticdentistry #lajolladentist #restoringconfidenceinyoursmile #veneers #smilemakeover #fullmouthrehabilitation #minimalprepveneers #preplessveneers #luxatemp

Dentistry circa 1960’s... one of our Patients getting his wisdom teeth extracted. #nogloves #thegoodolddays?

The ‘shush’ Photo. When we look a ourselves, it’s usually when we are smiling. So we are often aware of what our smile looks like, which is usually the top 10 teeth. But when we talk, this is what others see. (Lots more of our lower arch!). So we ask patients to say ‘shush’ so they can see what they show in everyday conversation.

Another trial smile for our local patient. He’s unhappy with his current smile and is thinking he wants to restore his smile before he breaks any more teeth! Here’s his sneak peek... #virtualsmile #cosmeticdentistry #restoringsmiles #restoringhealth #restoringconfidenceinyoursmile #restoringconfidence #lajolla

A very #sweet gesture from a referring office has us celebrating #4thofjuly early! How will you #celebrate? #treats #holidays #familytime #summer

This patient wanted a natural smile, but an improvement from what she had. She disliked how unnatural her existing crowns looked and wanted to get rid of the dark lines at the top of the crowns. She smiles much more confidently now.

And Happy Father’s day to you, dad! You have taught me to work hard and yet find joy, to not give up on a dream, to give the best of yourself at every turn, and to support your family with love and kindness. You’ve also taught me how to do some amazing dentistry (and to learn learn learn throughout my career!) and I’ll always be grateful that I have you as my mentor guiding me in this profession. #fatherdaughterdentists #talkingteethnonstop

This guy... makes the world go round in our home and our office. He is always ready with a hug, some kind words, enthusiasm, and wit. Our rock and our cheerleader. Happy Father’s Day, my love! We are better because of you. #fathersday #luckyus
