Take a look at some of the procedures Dr. Philips has personally performedClick on the button of any of the BEFORE images to see the AFTER images.
Case 89: CLLF
These very twisted teeth were corrected with eight porcelain veneers.
Case 87: CLTG
Hard grinding of teeth is called bruxism. This not only wears but also causes a recession of the gums known as Abfraction.

New crown and five porcelain veneers (note Tetracycline stain on natural lower teeth).
Case 85: CLSM
Six porcelain veneers on top and undergoing Invisalign to straighten the bottom teeth.
Case 86: CLLZ
Previous lower veneers (made elsewhere kept popping off). Laser gum recontouring and newer and whiter porcelain veneers placed. The back teeth are still in temporaries while implants are healing.
Case 84: CLMW
Bigger and whiter teeth and the correction of the bite was achieved by placing 12 porcelain veneers on top.
Case 81: CLGL
The overlapping of the front two teeth was kept by design with the new veneers. Although nearly all the teeth were restored the design was to ensure the actual crookedness of her original smile.
