Gingival symmetry is a crucial component to esthetics. When I evaluate my patients smile, one of the first components that I analyze is the position of the existing gum tissue.
A simple gum contouring procedure like the one pictured above produces excellent results.
The best part, there is zero post operative pain/stitches/downtime!

My patient had an abnormal shaped tooth restored with an old bonding 10 years ago. The old bonding had rough margins causing her gums to continually become inflamed and bleed upon brushing and flossing.
My patient felt self conscious and embarrassed every time she smiled.
Matching a single tooth restoration is very difficult when you are not restoring the adjacent teeth. Lab communication with extensive pictures from every angle is a key factor when shade matching. In addition, I used the eLAB system with a grey card to enhance my communication with my dental lab/ceramist.
It was important for me to nail this single veneer perfectly because the patient was flying in from Chicago just for her dental treatment. Nonetheless, the shade was on point and the patient was beyond happy.

Wearing a mask before stepping out, Zoom meetings/conferences and staying home more now than ever, has set the perfect stage for my patients to straighten their teeth with Invisalign.
I have treated several patients with Invisalign to improve their oral hygiene, chewing and bite, esthetics and boost their confidence with correctly aligned teeth.
After seeing so many fantastic results, I too, decided to start my Invisalign treatment. I am midway through treatment and have zero regrets! #straightup
Reminiscing about my charity trip to India brought back good memories. To think that this was the childrenโs first time meeting a dentist, having their teeth examined/treated, and receiving their first toothbrush was bittersweet.
I had planned and promised to return in December 2021, but due to the pandemic, I was forced to postpone my trip.
I can not wait to return and see these smiles again!

Planning ahead with the end results in mind is crucial to success. This patient presented to me with misaligned, short teeth with a gap between her 2 front teeth that she hated!
First, Invisalign was done to align her teeth and place them in the correct position.
Second, in office and bleaching trays were fabricated to brighten her teeth.
After correctly aligning and brightening her teeth, only 2 very thin no prep veneers were needed to complete her smile.
The results lead to healthy tissue formation between her front teeth that was previously nonexistent and a more harmonious symmetrical smile. My patient stated that she had received so many compliments on her smile after we completed treatment and she was very pleased with the detailed treatment plan we had made 1.5 years prior.

As a childhood television star, my patient had several picture references of her old smile and how her teeth used to look.
Over time, the loss of facial vertical dimension, functional wear and old restorations with decay and cracks, her smile had diminished.
With planning & clear communication, we were able to restore all of her upper teeth to health, function and esthetics and make her smile look better than before!
Stay tuned for the reformation her lower teeth!

Luckily, I was able to treat this patient with chair side composite bonding WITHOUT any shots, anesthesia, pain or bleeding...and still preserve healthy tooth structure!
After 3 shades of composite, a tint and lots of finessingโ

My patient was concerned with her worn, severely stained, shortened and asymmetric smile.
I rejuvenated her smile with prepless veneers (NO shaving of teeth!), filled her corridors by broadening her smile along with painless gum recontouring.

Welcome to our ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐!
A ๐ก๐๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ก๐ goes a long way...
Not all teeth have to be treated to achieve great esthetics. Conservative dentistry treated with responsibility, can achieve great results!
This single composite bonded tooth was misaligned, lacked the correct contour and shade and did not have the subtle effects that the adjacent teeth possessed.
A single, zero preparation/tooth shaving, veneer was fabricated and bonded.
The patient was beyond ecstatic and pleased with the outcome and conservative efforts.

3 shades & 2 tints were used to lengthen & contour the two front teeth with ZERO shots!
This year has been a whirlwind. But, we have learned to embrace, appreciate and be thankful for what have.
Sincerely, we wish you a happy Thanksgiving, from our family to yours โค๏ธ

Closing the gaps, brightening the teeth, restoring symmetry & length and a fuller smile all done WITHOUT shaving or removing any tooth structure.
Subtle changes like the one above can make a huge difference in a patients smile, speech and confidence.

After my patient fell face first on the concrete sidewalk, I knew she needed me STAT!
Luckily, no further damage was done to her teeth and I was able to preserve the remaining tooth structure.
We matched the shade of her existing teeth and enhanced her smile with 4 minimal preparation veneers.
โญ๏ธ The stars of the show are the 2 front teeth โญ๏ธ
After Invisalign treatment was completed and my patients teeth were aligned correctly, we decided to modify and enunciate her two front teethโs dominance.
I used composite bonding to lengthen and close the black triangle between her front teeth, as well as straighten her midline more precisely.
Quality denistry! - by Robert H.
Professional, helpful and competent staff. Dr. Desai has the latest digital equipment, an air purifying system for patients and carefully explains the procedure during the time you are with her. Follow up after an office procedure from Dr. Desai is something I have not experienced in the past. She is excellent. I am a satisfied patient.

We had the utmost pleasure and joy to treat these beautiful twins.
We are so grateful to have them in our lives and canโt wait to see what they unleash into the world with their brightened smile...watch out world!

My patient lived with a congenitally missing tooth and wore a removable appliance most of her life, in which, she would regularly displace or loose. She was embarrassed, annoyed and accepted her removable tooth and thought โthis is how itโs going to be.โ
After meticulous planning, I was able to eliminate all of her presumptive thoughts/feelings and give her the smile that she NEVER had with a custom dental implant crown.
This treatment changed her lifestyle and confidence. After we showed her her new tooth, she couldnโt stop smiling and commented on how natural it felt.

My patients old veneers needed to be upgraded in more ways than one:
We broadened the smile, fixed the cant of the front teeth and closed the gaps for more symmetry, gum recontouring to balance the smile, natural translucency to preserve the youthful appearance and a brighter shade to bring the smile to life!
My patient LOVED her new smile and was very pleased with her veneer upgrades!
My patient accidentally hit her lower front teeth with a fork.
She was worried that she would need a crown, but I assured her that we could bond this chip very conservatively and minimize over preparing tooth structure.
3 shades of composite and 3 tints were used to finalize this composite bonded restoration.
Honored, humbled & grateful to present and speak @westcoaststudyclub. I am blessed to be surrounded with like minded and over achieving colleagues.
Thank you @drjinkim for this amazing opportunity.

My patient felt self conscious over the bar fight chips that had occurred.
Luckily, these chips were treated with conservatively charside with composite bonding.
