Smile Gallery

Welcome to the Dentista Smile Gallery. Many of the cases involve combinations of treatment, such as crowns, veneers, bridges, white fillings, root canals, extractions, implants, bone grafting and soft tissue grafting. Please feel free to click on the photos to enlarge them, and see more information.

I thought it would be important to include a small section about the process of taking patients photos. As far as is possible, the patients have all be used on a canon EOS R with a 100mm macro lens. A ring flash is used and as much as possible the same camera angle and distance have been used. No photoshopping has been used here. What you see is what you get. I feel that a real life before and after will show you the realistic real world results that you are looking for.

During your consult I also have my book of smiles, to which you can look and find the type of smile you are looking for. As you have probably heard before, a picture is worth a thousand words, and this is true of finding the smile you want. Sometimes it is very difficult to articulate exactly what it is you're looking for in your desired smile, seeing different beautiful smiles can help us communicate and ensure we're on the same page. By finding the type of smile or look you are looking for in the book, you will convey to me exactly what you are after.

Crowns and Implant

Full mouth rehabilitation with implants and porcelain crowns for the top teeth and composite veneers for the bottom.

To begin with Dr Carla stabilised the teeth with fillings, root canals, and cleaning.

A problematic front tooth was extracted and replaced with an implant by Dr Carla. Can you tell which tooth is the implant?

A fun case.

Crowns , Implant and Composite Bonding

This lady wanted to improved the appearance of her smile. Underneath the existing fillings was a tooth that needed to be extracted and replaced with an implant, old yellow fillings that needed replacing, gaps that she preferred to close, and root canal treatment that needed to be done to get rid of infection.

The final result with ceramic crowns on the top teeth and composite bonding for the bottom teeth.

Crowns and Front tooth Implant

A combination of Porcelain crowns, implants and composite build ups to refresh this smile.

Before and After Composite Rehabilitation

Fixing a collapsed bite for a great guy with composite.

Composite is the preferred material choice here so the new bite can be trialed and refined before conversion to porcelain (if the patient would like to upgrade to porcelain at some stage).

Implants

This amazing lady in her 70's lost these teeth to failed root canal treatment. Dr Carla placed two dental implants to restore her smile and ability to chew. The implants look and feel like real teeth!

Implant Bridge and Veneers

This wonderful patient had two implants placed by another dentist, and Dr Carla put a 3 unit bridge on the implants. This allowed her a fixed solution to replace her missing front teeth so she did not have to have a removable denture anymore!
Dr Carla then used porcelain veneers to lighten the teeth, which had dark staining from tertacycline (antibiotic) use when the teeth were growing.

Crowns and Veneers

This stunning woman was bothered by the darkness of her front teeth.
Dr Carla used a combination of porcelain crowns and veneers to refresh the smile to match this gorgeous woman's personality!

Zoom! In-Chair Whitening

This gorgeous young woman requested a lightening of her teeth for an up coming special occasion!

One treatment of Zoom! In Chair whitening and we achieved this beautiful result.

White Fillings

After having braces to align her teeth, this patient requested to have the smaller teeth next to her front teeth enlarged. Dr Carla used white fillings to achieve this subtle yet beautiful result.

Enlarging the teeth makes the smile more beautiful by closing the gaps and making the teeth more proportional. No drilling or shaving to the natural teeth was required at all!

Veneers

Veneers to repair and strengthen the two front teeth which had been yellowing and chipping. The damage was caused to the front teeth by a whitening home rememdy of scrubbing the teeth with gumption! These natural veneers enhance this beautiful patient's smile! And please seek professional advice for bleaching to avoid damaging your teeth!

Crowns

This lively woman requested to improve the look of her front teeth, which were heavily built up with white fillings. The old white fillings had started to stain and deteriorate and the shapes could be improved.

Dr Carla used porcelain crowns and veneers on her front 4 top teeth to rejuvenate her smile! Her teeth look natural and blend beautifully with the rest of her teeth.

Implant Bridge

A trauma cracked this lovely patient's front teeth and left him in a lot of pain. As a result of the cracks, the 2 teeth supporting his bridge needed to be removed.

Dr Carla placed two imediate implants with bone grafting and soft tissue grafting, and then restored him to funtion with a 3 unit bridge. A lovely outcome for a lovely man!

Zoom! In-Chair Whitening

Another wow result from the Zoom! in chair whitening. This fabulous woman hd been bothered by her yellow front teeth.

She achieved this great reult with minimal sensitivity after one session with Zoom!

Single Tooth Implant

This cool patient fractured his tooth below the gum line from excessive grinding and clenching while he was asleep. The fractured tooth was removed and the bare gum was bothersome for the patient as it was getting traumatised by food.

Dr Carla placed an implant and a bone graft and restored function for this patient. He protects the rest of his teeth, and his implant with a night guard.

Crowns and Veneers

This vivacious woman's smile distracted from her full of life personality!

Dr Carla corected the crooked front tooth and the uneven colouring of the other front tooth with porcelain crowns. She then used porcelain veneers to blend the arch form of the teeth either side.

The result is a beautiful, strong set of natural looking teeth that enhance her smile!
