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 JoaAnna 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!

Judy's before treatment picture reflects the wear that occurs after years of  Judy gritting, grinding, and clenching her teeth.  All of Judy's  teeth were badly worn down, and many teeth were painful.   DRL performed a smile design and re-created a new smile for Judy. 

Judy's smile,   before Dr. L's dental art smile make-over! Note, even though we asked Judy to SMILE BIG, she did not.  Judy was not happy with her smile and practiced--not smiling!

Judy's smile, after Dr.L's dental art creation!   Look, now Judy's  natural new smile follows the form of her new front teeth zirconia crowns! 

Judy loves her new smile!  Form and function go hand in hand with Dr.L's creations. A smile reconstruction needs to be able to bite and chew well too! . Judy's back teeth crowns are also a work of art:  they are designed  and created to  be in harmony  and  follow the movement of her lower jaw. What can be more enjoyable than the joy  a patient has in flashing their new smile, rather than holding it back!  Look at Judy's before smile picture.  She simply did not smile. Look at Judy's after smile!   Wow, what a difference.   Now, we want to help Judy protect her  dental art. We made Judy a  smile guard. Wearing the smile guard will prevent the wearing down of the crowns.  Judy wore her natural teeth down; now, we want to help her prevent the wearing down of her crowns.  We will help Judy maintain her oral health, and help her keep her smile healthy for years to come.  The use of a Hydrofloss and Oro-B  Sonic toothbrush use is recommended,  for great dental health. Helping Judy maintain the health of her dental art is a goal Dr. L. follows, after the completion of every patient's  dental smile art!
