Full upper arch reconstruction · 10 units · Shade BL4 · Comprehensive rehab, phased over multiple visits
Derrick came to us with a smile he had stopped showing. The anterior teeth on his upper arch were fractured down to the nerve in places, patched with failing bonding, and pushing him toward the point where every meal was a calculation. He wasn't looking for a shortcut. He wanted the kind of rebuild that would still look right in fifteen years.

Same clinical angle, so nothing is stylized. This is what the mouth actually looks like now.
A smile Derrick could stop hiding — and one that read as his, not an obvious dental rebuild.
Restoring the ability to eat, speak, and hold a bite together without the anterior teeth fighting each other.
Ten new units on the upper arch — crowns and veneers — planned to distribute force evenly and hold up under years of real use.
The remaining tooth structure, gums, and bone had to be evaluated honestly before any of the aesthetic work started.
Derrick chose the brightest bleach shade available. That decision drove every unit in the arch, from the temporary provisionals to the final crowns. It's an aggressive choice, and it's what he wanted. The team matched it precisely.

Derrick's own words are on their way. When he tells us what this changed for him, this is where it will live.
