Dr. David’s goal with every patient at Blue Wave Dental of Walnut Creek, especially the ones that require multiple advanced procedures, is to help them achieve their cosmetic and oral health goals. Below, you can see plenty of real-life examples.
A smile transformation nearly 10 years in the making: This patient was first told years ago to straighten their teeth — they were crooked and wearing down unevenly. After finally completing Invisalign, we restored the health of the gums with a gum graft to cover a sensitive, receded area that was catching food and had poor-quality tissue.
Once the foundation was healthy, we completed the smile with 10 upper and 8 lower veneers. The result? A balanced bite, healthy gums, and a confident smile that the patient can’t stop sharing. From barely smiling to beaming with confidence. Moments like these are why I love what I do.
10 veneers and crowns to refresh this smile
4 veneers to close gaps and reshape teeth
Blending 4 veneers into the smile to make this patient shine
6 veneers to brighten this smile and create a stronger and healthier smile
8 veneers for a smile rejuvenation
Patient broke her veneer when she was on vacation and wanted to have her tooth fixed fast - so we
made it happen with a same-day veneer including custom staining and glazing for an excellent color
match
The patient wanted to close the dark gaps (black triangles) in her front teeth. We did a combination of
two veneers and composite bonding. The patient loved her new smile and check out the perfect color
match!
Dental Crowns
10 crowns and onlays for a healthier, stronger and more balanced smile
Dental Implants
Single implant to replace broken tooth
Single implant to restore this patients ability to chew
Two dental implants to replace missing teeth
Dental implant to replace a fractured tooth
Regaining confidence to chew comfortably with dental implants to replacing 2 missing teeth
This transformation shows how an immediate dental implant and custom crown can seamlessly replace a fractured tooth with a perfect shade match. Can you even spot which tooth is the implant?
Gum Lift
Gum lift to address the gummy smile to create a more confident and harmonious smile
This is an amazing post-ortho glow up for our 15 year old patient. After braces, we completed a gum
lift and then cosmetic bonding to fill in the gaps between her teeth, as well as a Maryland bridge
to replace her missing tooth. This will give her time to grow and can consider veneers and an
implant in the future.
Old crowns causing constant irritation, hygiene challenges and a smile that felt unbalanced resolved
by a surgical gum lift procedure and new crowns for a beautiful, confident smile!
Cosmetic Dentistry
A healthier and stronger smile, revitalized with 12 veneers and crowns
Resin infiltration for a no-drill, non-invasive correction of white spots
The patient wanted everything to match and feel natural again and now she loves her smile! After placing
an implant and restoring the two neighboring teeth with crowns, everything blends seamlessly.
Gum Graft
This Free Gingival Graft (FGG) shows the regeneration of healthy tissue to cover exposed roots. Creating thicker gums helps prevent further gum recession and makes the area much easier for the patient to keep clean.
From significant and progressive gum recession to healthy, restored gums with a Free Gingival Graft
(FGG) gum graft procedure
Using Alloderm for a gingival graft to cover the sensitive and exposed roots. Using donor material
means there is no need for taking gum tissue from the roof of the mouth
Due to significant recession a gum graft was performed. We were able to accomplish almost 100% root coverage as well as improve the tissue quality and the patient's ability to keep the area clean.
