Smile Gallery
The following before and after photos by Dr. Gibbs Prevost, Jr. and Dr. Tucker Hunley best illustrate our capabilities with respect to cosmetic dental procedures as well as restorative dental procedures.
Icon Resin Infiltration and Composite Restoration
Before
These congenital enamel defects occurred during development as a young adult.
After
They were repaired with composite resin by Dr. Hunley!
Chipped Tooth Repair
Before
This patient had a chipped tooth for a number of years.
After
In a single visit it was repaired with compositve by Dr. Hunley!
ClearCorrect® Aligners
Before
Our patient was thrilled with her beautiful smile results from Dr. Hunley!
After
The case was completed with ClearCorrect® aligners over thirteen month period.
Correcting Congenital Enamel Defects
Before
These congenital enamel defects occurred during tooth development as a young adult.
After
They were repaired with composite resin by Dr. Hunley!
Icon Resin Infiltration and Composite Restoration
Before
White fluorosis spot on the front tooth is corrected with Icon resin infiltration.
After
Additional composite restoration work evens out the shape of the adjacent tooth.
Implant Crown

Central Diastema Closure with Composite Restorations
Before
This patient was not happy with the gap at their front teeth.
After
We closed this diastema (gap) in between the two central incisors #8 and #9 by placing a little bit of composite bonding on both teeth to create symmetry and balance.
Internal Bleaching
Before
The upper left lateral incisor #10 had become dark due to a dying tooth pulp.
After
We performed internal bleaching after a root canal to brighten up the tooth and improve the patient's smile.
Central Diastema Closure in Composite
Before
This patient had a small chip and wanted to close the gap in between his front teeth.
After
We were able to restore this smile with a single tooth composite bonding.
Chipped Front Tooth Repair
Before
One of our own team members broke a large part of their upper right central incisor.
After
We restored this tooth back to its natural form with composite.
Treating Tetracycline Stains with Porcelain Veneers
Before
Over time, the aging process causes teeth to stain, wear unevenly, shift positions, and change gingival levels.
After
A smile makeover with veneers or crowns can brighten the color, realign the teeth, and restore the smile to a more attractive appearance.
Composite Veneers
Before
This young lady has mottled enamel that causes otherwise healthy teeth to look unattractive. With some patients, particularly younger ones, directly applied composite veneers may be a more appropriate treatment alternative than porcelain veneers.
After
Directly applied composite veneers can be accomplished in a single appointment. This is usually done without any local anesthesia and more economically than porcelain veneers.
Abscessed, Non-Restorable Tooth
Before
Just one tooth can adversely affect a person’s smile and oral health. This patient had one abscessed tooth that was a source of infection, discomfort and distraction in an otherwise attractive smile.
After
A three tooth bridge was made to replace the non-restorable tooth. With the advanced porcelains and color matching capabilities we now have, a very natural replacement was able to be provided for this patient.
Internal Bleaching (Whitening)
Before
Frequently, a front tooth will become discolored when it is not vital and has had root canal treatment. This tooth may be sound and healthy, but unattractive; it does not need a crown.
After
When the tooth does not need restoring with a crown, internal bleaching (whitening) of the discolored inner portion of the tooth restores the tooth to its proper shade, matching the other teeth. Total Treatment Time: 2 hours.
Tooth Colored (Composite) Fillings of Back Teeth
Before
Small to moderate amounts of decay are often “hidden” under sound enamel. Once the enamel is removed, the decayed dentin is readily visible and accessible for removal.
After
Tooth colored fillings are often the best restoration choice in back teeth, as well as in front teeth. These molars appear as if they were never decayed after restoring with composite.
Dental Implants
Before
This young adult had lost his upper right lateral incisor as a result of a sports accident. The best way to replace a missing tooth is with a dental implant. It is also the most durable and longest lasting replacement. In this photo, the patient has healed from his implant surgery and is ready to have the implant healing abutment (the small metal cylinder) replaced with the implant tooth.
After
The patient's implant tooth is completed, restoring his smile and ability to bite with his front teeth. The process to replace the healing abutment with the implant tooth is painless, requiring only two short appointments and with no use of local anesthesia or the dental hand-piece.
Teeth Grinding (Bruxism)
Before
Bruxism (grinding) of a person’s teeth is one of the most under-diagnosed and under-treated dental problems. Chips and irregular edges of the lower teeth are evidence of damage caused by bruxism.
After
The worn edges have conservatively been restored with composite to more level biting edges and balanced biting forces against the upper incisions. One appointment, with no local anesthesia, was needed to complete these restorations.
Crowns for Bruxism
Before
Severe wear from bruxism has left this patient in danger of losing many teeth. The lower teeth need to be restored to normal shape, height and function by multiple crown restorations.
After
After crowns on all of the lower teeth have been placed, this patient has much more attractive lower teeth and a functional occlusion.
Smile Makeover with Crowns and Veneers
Before
Over time, the aging process causes teeth to stain, wear unevenly, shift positions, and change gingival levels.
After
A smile makeover with veneers or crowns can brighten the color, realign the teeth, and restore the smile to a more attractive appearance.
