David



A single missing tooth may be replaced with an immediate use implant, if there is sufficient good quality bone. David's upper left central incisor was knocked out in an accident. DRL placed this implant and placed a temporary crown on the implant, on the first day.



David's teeth are irregularly and masculine in appearance.  The crown DRL  made reflects the natural color and shapes of his natural teeth.  The space for the crown was  larger than  the adjacent central incisor.  However, the implant crown was contoured to make its appearance similar in size to the adjacent central incisor.

David gives DRL a  big thumbs up for an artist's job well done!  DRL  enjoys  patients expressing their satisfaction with a big  Thumbs Up!  Thanks David for being a great implant patient!

Jennifer

Jennifer needed a dental implant to  replace one single tooth, the upper right central incisor.
This is an X-ray picture of the  implant; an implant does not look like a tooth; what is placed on top of the implant, is the replacement for the tooth. In this situation, the implant supports a single crown.
Here  is another happy dental implant patient giving a thumb's up with   DRL. DrL is over 4k in the numbers of implants placed, and he will top 5k soon.

Twenty-eight crowns, one supported by a dental implant.  Jennifer is  happy to be a member of DrLl's 28 crown club!

Joanna before and after

JoAnna wore her teeth out brushing too, too, much. She knows better now.  She also had a habit of sucking on lemons.  Both damaged the enamel of her teeth, badly. The pictures above show the damage. 
Here's Joanna's  before Dr. L. treatment amile!  Note how much older Joanna looks with  her worn out teeth. 
Wow, what an improvement an artist can  perform.  Dr. L is a great artist jus happens to be Nashville Tennessee's very best cosmetic and implant dentist!  Dr. L helped JoaAna create her smile, her way!

JoAnna is not only gorgeous, now her teeth compliment  all of her! 
Dr. L. can create a gorgeous smile for you, too.  Dr. L's motto is to  "make your smile, your way!."

Dawn before and after



Dawn  did not like the spaces between her teeth. When she was in middle age, she decided: 
"I am going to find  a great cosmetic and implant dentist to make a new smile for me!"  She found DRL by looking for: "The very Best Cosmetic & Implant Dentist in Nashville." 
Dr. L. is an artist that just happens to be a cosmetic dentist. DRL was happy to design a smile that closed her spaces and still looks natural.  The smile designing process created a result that Dawn is crazy about! Dawn's smile was made "her---way!."   Dawn loves her new smile.
Dawn is looking forward to closing the spaces of her lower teeth, next.  Having a space free smile is what Dawn wanted, all  of her life. She now has her smile--her way!  Thumbs up, for Dawn's new smile.  She also has five dental implants, one of which was used for temporary bridge support, while the other implants were healing to the bone.  Even that temporary implant, turned out to be, a permanent implant!  Dr. L. "loves" closing spaces with natural looking zirconium crowns!

One Twin has the crown, which is it?



Gregory is a champion Rugby team-player! Unfortunately, one of his greatest efforts resulted in breaking off one of his central incisors, at the gum-line, through the nerve. On a Saturday, when it happened, DRL performed a root canal, made a post for the tooth, made a great looking temporary crown.




Now, 3 weeks later, Gregory has a zirconium crown for the upper left central incisor, indistinguishable from the adjacent tooth! Gregory and his mother, Ann, loves the result.

Our patients, when they damaged one of their front teeth, love Dr. L's artistic rendering of an identical reproduction of their remaining central incisor!

When you need the best, Dr. L
 is your choice for:
                                                                                                   THE VERY BEST DENTAL ART! 

Blonde lady

Here's Dave's close up of his pre-treatment smile.  The two front teeth crowns are old, discolored and the gums have severely pulled back exposing the darkened roots. 
Here's Dave's new zirconia crowns.  We also bleached Dave's  natural teeth so he would have a brighter, whiter smile! Look at the improved color of all  natural lower teeth; this is a result of  Dr. L's tooth bleaching systems, and Dave's following  Dr. L.s better oral health and smile improvement suggestions. 
                                                   Here's Daves new big white smile!
 Dave first came to see us for a back tooth, toothache.  Dave had serious gum disease.  Dave wanted to keep his teeth and took to Dr. L's gum health improvements like a duck takes to water!    Dave has become an avid Hydroflosser.  His gum pockets have resolved 50% or more.  Great Job Dave!  Now, with an smile upgrade, Lori, it is your turn, next!   Let's get started soon!
