Ean
Ean had extreme wear due to a closed bite and heavy grinding. He had a history of chipping teeth and had the wear of an 80-year-old even though he was in his twenties. He also had a chronic problem with headaches. Ean was always self-conscious of the way his teeth looked and was careful to not smile too broadly.
After finding a relaxed position for Ean's facial muscles, he was restored to ideal form and function with full-mouth porcelain restorations. Not only does he feel better from having a correct bite, but he is thrilled with his new found self-confidence in the way he looks.
My girlfriend talked me into seeing Dr. Spoor because he had restored her smile. I will admit I was skeptical at first, but it's one of the best things I've done.
I not only look great, but I feel great.

Holly
A bicycle accident as a child set off a string of events that left Holly with a less-than-attractive smile. She was hesitant to try to improve her smile because her past experience was that 'cosmetic' dentistry looked fake. One of her front teeth had been restored with a crown that caused her gumline to become gray and looked lifeless and opaque. Another had turned dark from a root canal.
We used a cosmetic preview to show Holly what we could create and she became very excited to proceed. Four porcelain-bonded restorations were placed on her front teeth to even out the widths and provide more length. Combined with Holly's naturally beautiful lips, she came out with an absolutely ravishing smile.
It took me years to get the courage to fix my front teeth, which had been damaged in a bicycle accident. Dr. Spoor and his team were able to show me what the result would look like and they explained, step-by-step, how the process would take place. Their state-of-the-art techniques and holistic approach gave me the beautiful smile I've always wanted with the least amount of discomfort. In fact, I can honestly say that I actually had fun at my appointments. I highly recommend Dr. Spoor to anyone who would like a terrific smile.

John
John always had misaligned teeth that made him self-conscious. Because of the alignment issue, he had experienced several broken back teeth and a shifting bite. Additionally, the natural color of his teeth were dull and yellowish. The most important part of John's treatment was reestablishing an excellent bite to protect his teeth. Correctly positioned teeth not only look great but also feel great. The muscles in the head and neck relax and patients often find that they stop grinding their teeth and problems with chronic headaches dissipate. We made John's porcelain restorations a lighter but still natural color. He couldn't be more thrilled with his newfound self.
For years I've been self-conscious about not having a good-looking smile. I even avoided smiling in photographs. Now with my reconstruction complete, I find that I actually look for reasons to smile. It has made a dramatic difference in my overall self-confidence.

Marianne
Marianne was always told she had a nice smile, but she wanted something more. She noticed her teeth were a little crooked and the edges of her front teeth began to wear causing them to become squared and masculine looking. She also saw slight yellow discolorations appearing that were not there before.
We custom sculpted 10 porcelain veneers for her upper teeth and improved her bite. This will help her teeth wear much less over the years. At the same time we whitened the rest of her teeth, slightly recontoured the lower front and gave her the straight natural-looking teeth she desired.
Marianne went from having a nice smile to an extraordinary smile that lights up her face and radiates the confidence she has within.
I am so happy with my new smile. I have always smiled a lot and thought my teeth looked pretty good. Wow, what a difference now! Every morning my teeth are the first thing I check out in the mirror. It's the best thing I've done for myself. Dr. Spoor and the staff were the best. Try it - you'll love it!

Tara
Tara had large spaces between her teeth because of relatively small teeth for the size of her jaw. She also showed a lot of gum tissue when she smiled. She decided braces were not an option at this point of her life because even with braces she still had teeth that were too small.
We used composite bonding and laser sculpting of the gum tissue to create her new smile. Over a period of hours, Tara had the look and feel of a great smile that she only thought someone else could have. Laser reshaping is a new procedure using a concentrated beam of light to gently and comfortably enhance our results to a very natural and aesthetic level.
In the process, we also improved Tara's bite that will make her new beautiful smile last for years to come.
I love my new smile. It has been by far the best gift I've ever given myself. Everyone noticed an improvement right away, but couldn't quite put their finger on it. The procedure was so quick, I was amazed at what incredible things can be done in just a short amount of time. The attention given by Dr. Spoor and his team, along with the atmosphere at the office made the experience comfortable and relaxing, even to the point of enjoyable.
