Dr. Scardella partnered with Dental Lifeline Network to find a military veteran in need of a new smile. The case was done completely free of charge from start to finish. Dickerman Dental Prosthetics laboratory fabricated the dentures at no cost as well (http://dickermandental.com/). The results were fantastic and our entire team was grateful for the opportunity to donate the dental work and change his smile. We thank this patient and ALL VETERANS for their service.

In this case, Dr. Scardella used highly esthetic crowns to complete a smile makeover. This process was a life changing experience for our patient. The results are stunning!

This is a great example of how dental implants can change someone's smile. Our patient lost 2 teeth and was a great candidate for dental implants. Over the course of a few months, the teeth were restored to their natural beauty. The advantage of dental implants is that they look and feel like your own teeth, you can floss easily between the teeth, and no neighboring teeth were damaged (which would be needed if a bridge were placed instead).

This is Joanna. She is a beautiful young woman, but was unhappy with her old bonding on her front teeth. She wanted veneers! Due to the size of the old bondings, veneers weren't an option so Dr. Scardella restored her front 4 teeth with all porcelain crowns. Look at how natural they are. Joanna loves them.

We recently adopted the KoR Whitening System into our practice and have been amazed with the results. Our patient had internal staining caused by tetracycline use while the enamel of the teeth was developing (as a child). Instead of a smile makeover with veneer or crowns, our patient was able to achieve whiter, brighter teeth using the KoR Whitening protocol. The results speak for themselves.

After years of dealing with chipped crowns and broken teeth, our patient Dan decided to replace all his teeth with dental implants. With the team of Dr. Scardella and a local oral surgeon and dental lab, Dan's remaining teeth were removed and full dental implant bridges (temporaries) were placed the same day. This is his final smile after the porcelain bridge was made.

Our patient had old, worn out dentures and wanted an upgrade. He also wanted implants to help keep his lower denture in place. Both wishes were met. Beautiful, life-like new dentures were fabricated and four dental implants were used to secure his lower denture.

Typical of hockey players, our patient needed his chipped front tooth fixed. Dr. Scardella used top quality cosmetic bonding materials and techniques to make a seamless transition from filling to tooth.

This is a great example of the power of dental implants. Our patient couldn't chew on the right side due to missing teeth. We placed two dental implants and restored them with natural looking, individual crowns. Now she can eat anything she wants on both sides of her mouth and can brush and floss around the implant like her other teeth.

Years of wear and tear on teeth can cause chipping as seen here. Composite bondings were complete to restore the teeth to their natural beauty in one short appointment.

Our patient came to us with an emergency- his tooth had fractured at the gum line! He was an excellent candidate for a dental implant. The power of dental implants is amazing. It looks and feels just like his own tooth.

This person wore through the enamel on their lower front teeth, exposing yellow, soft "dentin" underneath. A simple, one-visit bonding procedure was performed. Novocaine was not needed. A beautiful result!

Our patient didn't like that one tooth was shorter than the other. It also had an old bonded filling which needed to be replaced. Cosmetic bonding was used to lengthen her tooth to match its neighbor. Another happy patient!

Our patient Jane chipped her front tooth in an accident. One visit later, cosmetic bonding was completed to restore the tooth. It blends in naturally and will continue to shine for years to come.

Our patient lost her front tooth a few years ago. After years of struggling to get it fixed, she finally got the smile she deserved. The dental implant was placed and restored by Dr. Scardella just in time for the holiday season.

The change to our patient's smile after replacing his old denture is amazing. What you can't see in the photos is that we removed multiple broken down lower teeth and placed denture implants to stabilize a brand new lower denture. Now he can eat whatever he wants without worrying about his lower denture falling out.

Our patient Chris had a couple old partial dentures. With only a few remaining upper teeth, we decided on a full denture to reconstruct his smile. What a difference! Next step is to secure the denture with dental implants.

Our elderly patient Janet chipped her 2 front teeth in a fall. In one appointment, Dr. Scardella fixed her teeth with composite bonding. The results look natural, just the way they looked before her accident.

Our patient was unhappy with her worn down teeth. She didn't like the color and knew she was wearing them away due to her grinding. After careful treatment planning, ceramic crowns were placing on all her upper teeth. The end result was a beautiful smile.

Our patient John loved the gap between his two front teeth, but really hated the dark spots that had developed. A simple, minimally invasive procedure without numbing was completed. The bonding made a huge difference in John's smile.

Many people have worn down their teeth over the years. Although it sometimes takes more extensive dental work, many cases can be treated conservatively in one appointment with composite bonding. This case shows how the unsightly worn teeth can look brand new after the procedure. This took about an hour and NO NOVOCAINE was needed!

These pictures show some simple bonded fillings. The patient had small cavities near the gumline which were easily taken care of painlessly in one appointment. The cosmetic improvement is excellent and the tooth is healthy again.

Our 17 year old patient, Brian, recently had his braces removed. His lateral incisor was too small and he wanted to close the space for cosmetic reasons. In one simple appointment, without needing any local anesthesia, we were able to fix the issue with composite bonding. The result is an appropriately sized tooth for the space.

Evelyn came to Dr. Scardella wanting to improve her smile and overall oral health. Treatment started by placing 4 porcelain/ceramic crowns on her upper front teeth. The difference is amazing. Healthy gums and a natural looking crowns created a beautiful smile for Evelyn.

Our patient really loved to smile, but felt embarrassed by the condition of her teeth, especially one that broke off at the gumline. As part of her overall dental treatment, Dr. Scardella started by removing the broken tooth and putting temporary crowns and a temporary bridge while everything heals. Just image how great the final porcelain crowns will look.
