Porcelain veneers
Julie had mild tetracycline stains and enamel deformities on her front teeth, both upper and lower, and her teeth were slightly crooked. She flew in from California to have us do her smile makeover. We ended up placing 10 porcelain veneers in each arch.
“Traveling for this smile makeover was worth it!” – Julie

Porcelain veneers
Samantha came to us wanting “an even smile line” and not liking “the stains where the enamel is chipping off.” We did six porcelain veneers and gingival contouring on the front two teeth.
“I love how my teeth look, color, length, everything! ” – Samantha

Full-mouth reconstruction
Millis came to us with severe tooth wear due to bruxism. You can see in the “before” photograph that his bite was completely collapsed to the point where he was biting into his gums. His face was also collapsed, making him look older than he was. We started with a muscle deprogrammer to re-set his bite, and then did a full set of all-ceramic crowns to re-build his mouth.

Teeth whitening and porcelain veneers
Karen told us she wasn’t happy with how her teeth looked, especially the gap between her upper front teeth. We started with bleaching, and then we gave her eight porcelain veneers. She said she loved the result.

Full-mouth reconstruction
Steven came to us saying he wanted to straighten his teeth, whiten them, and replace all the metal fillings. His bite was also uncomfortable, so we started with that, using an occlusal guard as a muscle deprogrammer to set new positions for his upper and lower jaws. We then placed crowns and veneers to give him this bright new smile.
“I love it that I can smile again, and my bite now feels comfortable.” – Steven

Gum lift, porcelain veneers, and crowns
Ute came to us saying she wanted “a cosmetic upgrade on my upper teeth,” and wanting to replace old crowns. We replaced her existing crowns with new all-ceramic crowns and did veneers on the other front teeth, along with aesthetic crown lengthening.
“I’m very pleased with my new smile!” – Ute

Where Your Smile Story Begins
The stories you see here are not about perfection. They are about progress, trust, and the moment someone realizes their smile finally reflects how they want to show up in the world. For Dr. Tostado and Dr. Acuña, these results are the natural outcome of thoughtful dentistry and genuine relationships. Your journey may look different, but the starting point is always the same: a conversation about what matters to you.
