Smile Makeover With Eight Upper Dental Crowns

A smile makeover doesn’t always require orthodontic treatment. In just two appointments, approximately three weeks apart, Dr. Gina Bruck restored this patient’s upper smile with eight custom dental crowns.

The crowns helped improve the shape, length, and color of the patient’s teeth, creating a brighter, more balanced appearance while restoring the existing teeth.

At Shorewood Family Dental Care, we offer dental crowns in Shorewood, IL to address damaged, worn, or weakened teeth while creating natural-looking results.

Teeth-in-a-Day: Implant-Supported Smile Restoration

For patients facing extensive tooth loss, implant-supported restorations can offer a more stable alternative to traditional removable dentures.

Dr. Gina Bruck worked alongside dental specialists to complete this patient’s smile transformation through a multi-stage treatment process. After removing teeth that could not be saved and placing dental implants, the patient received a temporary restoration during healing.

Approximately four months later, the final implant-supported restoration was secured in place, completing the transformation.

Full Upper Smile Restoration With Dental Crowns

This before-and-after transformation showcases a comprehensive upper smile restoration completed by Dr. Gina Bruck using dental crowns across the patient’s upper teeth.

Dental crowns do more than improve appearance. They can also help restore the shape, strength, and function of teeth affected by damage or wear.

The finished result brings a more consistent shape, color, and appearance to the patient’s upper smile while addressing restorative dental needs.

Tooth Replacement With a 3-Unit Dental Bridge

This patient’s restorative treatment involved a tooth extraction, bone graft, and custom three-unit dental bridge to address a damaged or missing tooth.

A dental bridge replaces a missing tooth by supporting an artificial tooth between neighboring teeth or other appropriate supports, depending on the bridge design. It can help restore the appearance of a smile and improve everyday function.

The before-and-after photographs show the completed restoration and how the bridge blends with the surrounding teeth.

Porcelain Veneers for Four Front Teeth

Sometimes, improving a few front teeth can make a noticeable difference in the overall appearance of a smile.

Dr. Robert Funk placed four porcelain veneers on teeth #7 through #10, helping create a more uniform appearance across the patient’s upper front teeth.

Porcelain veneers are custom restorations designed to improve the visible shape, color, and proportions of teeth while maintaining a natural appearance.

Dental Bonding for Two Front Teeth

A relatively small cosmetic adjustment can make a meaningful difference in how a smile looks.

Dr. Robert Funk performed dental bonding on this patient’s two upper front teeth, using tooth-colored composite resin to enhance their appearance.

Dental bonding is a conservative cosmetic treatment that may be used to improve chipped, uneven, discolored, or slightly spaced teeth. The material is carefully shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding natural tooth structure.

This before-and-after shows how bonding can refresh the appearance of the front teeth without requiring a more extensive cosmetic restoration.

Broken Tooth Restoration With an All-Porcelain Bridge

A broken tooth can affect both the appearance of your smile and your ability to bite and chew comfortably.

For this patient, Dr. Robert Funk completed a three-unit, all-porcelain dental bridge restoration to address the damaged area and restore the smile.

Porcelain bridges are designed to complement the color and shape of surrounding teeth while replacing missing tooth structure with a functional restoration.

The before-and-after images highlight the transformation from the damaged front-tooth area to the completed restoration.

Four Dental Crowns for an Upper Smile Makeover

This smile transformation was completed by Dr. Robert Funk using four custom dental crowns on the patient’s upper teeth.

The treatment helped improve the color, contour, and overall appearance of the patient’s smile while addressing bite and restorative concerns.

Dental crowns can be an effective option when teeth require more extensive restoration than a filling or cosmetic bonding can provide. Each crown is designed to fit the patient’s individual teeth and dental needs.
