Porcelain and Zirconia crowns
Lisa was unhappy with her crowns made years ago on her front teeth that had worn and discolored over time. She had them replaced over the years by different dentists, but had always thought that their shape and color wasn't quite right.
Lisa decided she wanted to see an expert dentist experienced in cosmetic dentistry. After consulting with Dr. Ressler, she understood that the shape of her new teeth would be designed on a computer and 3-D printed in a temporary form used to "test-drive" her new smile. This way, Lisa and Dr. Ressler were able to work together to refine the design so both patient and doctor would be happy with the final result.
The original crowns did not match her other teeth, and were too sharply angled, unnatural looking, and masculine in appearance. The profile was also too flat and did not support her upper lip well at all.
Lisa's new crowns have more feminine and rounded edges better suiting her smile and shape of her face, and are far more attractive. Dr. Ressler's careful attention to these details was critical to achieving a successful outcome.
Our modern process:
- Before photos and exam
- Digital scan & smile design
- 3-D temporary print
- Teeth prep with microscope
- Smile test-drive with temps

Porcelain and Ceramic Veneers
Sharon had always dreamed of having beautiful teeth like the models she has seen flipping through the pages of fashion magazines. After careful planning and preparation, Dr. Ressler helped Sharon transform her smile with ceramic veneers over the course of just a few visits.
Our digital scanning process reduces the use of goopy impression materials, and creates a smile simulation to help you see what your new smile will look like before you even begin.
Cosmetic dentistry provides a more youthful and attractive appearance and can open up new opportunities in both work and social situations.
In comparison with dental crowns which require a greater reduction to tooth structure, veneers need far less alteration to the underlying teeth.
All procedures are done with local anesthetic, take approximately three to four comfortable treatment visits, and can provide beautiful, long-lasting results.
Our modern process:
- Deep cleaning
- Removal of defective fillings
- Treatment of cavities
- Digital scanning
- Approval of smile simulation
- Ceramic veneers
We helped Sharon achieve:
- Healthy teeth & gums
- Whiter & brighter smile
- Beautiful appearance
- More youthful "wow" look
Ceramic crowns, laser for gum recontouring, teeth whitening, and invisible braces to straighten teeth
Despite his young age, Andrew's teeth were severely worn, discolored, uneven, and unattractive. He was unhappy with how he looked and visited our office seeking a better appearance. Dr. Ressler used digital computer technology to simulate the look of Andrew's new smile, and then performed Invisalign treatment to straighten his teeth.
After the teeth were aligned and whitened, Dr. Ressler used his expertise as both a gum specialist and a cosmetic dentist to complete the transformation with gum recontouring and precisely-fit ceramic crowns to restore and reshape Andrew's teeth for a handsome smile.
Andrew's teeth were severely worn and mis-aligned due in part to night-time grinding of his teeth. Invisible clear aligners straightened his teeth in a matter of months.
Dr. Ressler used laser techniques to reshape the gumline, and beautiful porcelain and zirconia crowns to restore his smile. A soft rubberized guard worn at night was made to fit over Andrew's new teeth to protect the final results.
Our modern process:
- Straighten teeth
- Computer smile simulation
- Laser shape gumline
- Digital scan - no goop!
- Expertly-fitted ceramic crowns

An expert smile makeover with composite bonding and Emax ceramic crowns
With tears in her eyes, Judy explained to Dr. Ressler that she was afraid to smile because she didn't want others to see her darkened and discolored front teeth. She had spent the last few years taking care of her family and had ignored her own needs, but now it was her turn to start taking care of herself.
First, Dr. Ressler removed old failing dental work and cleaned out areas of cavities and decay. Then, plaque and tartar were removed from under the gumline to treat gum disease. After a suitable heaing period, the beautiful all-ceramic crowns were fitted, and for the first time in years, Judy could smile in front of her friends and family!
