WHAT OUR PATIENTS ARE SAYING
Meeting a new dentist can be unnerving. On my first visit for a broken tooth, I received a warm welcome from Dr. Brink and his friendly staff. He explained what needed to be done, was honest and straightforward and provided the best care - all with a gentle touch. I ...

What a wonderful dental office! The staff is over the top friendly. I especially enjoy Jillian at the front desk. The office is clean and inviting and for someone who doesn't especially love the dentist(who does) they are exceptionally accommodating. Highly recommend to anyone!

Excited to announce that I was honored and awarded as one of the Top 40 Dentists Under 40 years old by Incisal Edge Magazine!
Very tough case with a lot going on, but I think we achieved an exceptional result. This patient presented with an implant placed and temporized by another local doctor. She also presented with a fracture of her adjacent front tooth.
What made this case complicated was a mismatch in spacing between her front teeth that if restored as is, would have led to a gap between her front teeth, or one front tooth being larger than the other.
To combat this, I placed a composite veneer to close the diastema/increase the width of the tooth. Afterwards, I had my expert dental implant lab @prosmilesdentalstudio fabricate a ZR-Ti hybrid custom abutment with a layered zirconia crown.
When altering the gum line, it’s important to have good control over the subgingival contours of your custom abutment and crown. I think the interproximal gingival contours will continue to improve over the next few months to help further eliminate black triangles.
The end result was a very happy patient who can confidently smile again!
Chair-side Composite Veneers to restore Peg Lateral Incisors.
I typically wouldn’t complete this procedure at this stage of orthodontic treatment. However, due to certain circumstances, and after consultation with this patients orthodontist and parents, I elected to move forward.
Taking these photos is not only educational for patients (as they can see the work that we do), but also helpful for me to critique my own work and evaluate what I’d do differently next time.
Depending on the final tooth position, I will likely adjust the incisal edge and embrasure space of tooth #7 in order to match better with tooth #10.
Overall, the patient (and dad) were extremely pleased, which is what truly matters.
When you work with some of the best dental labs in the country, you get some of the best results. I don’t think @aaron_labguy_hoffman and his team @sunflower_dental_studio could have dialed this shade in any better on these two anterior crowns. These guys are truly phenomenal and deliver life-like results on a consistent basis.
A quick and easy cosmetic case. At first glance it doesn’t look like much, but we performed a laser gingivectomy on tooth #7 to add some length. I then completed composite bonding on the lateral incisors to fill in open mesial embrasure spaces and to also add a little more length.
The most conservative form of cosmetic dentistry, Clear Aligner Therapy.
This patient presented with a chief complaint of “my front teeth stick out too far.”
After 7 months of treatment we were able to resolve crowding and create more harmony with this patients smile. We accomplished this without drilling any teeth! Both the patient and myself were thrilled with this result.
#invisalign #clearaligners
Complete Maxillary Rehabilitation to replace existing crown and bridge work using an all digital workflow. We were able to complete this work in 3 visits: (1) Treatment Planning and Records, (2) Reconstruction and Preparation, (3) Delivery
Bridge #1: 3-x-x-6-x-8
Bridge #2: 9-x-11
Bridge #3: 12-x-14
In this case, we accomplished several goals: Removal of decay around the existing teeth, improved shade, improved position of the dental midline relative to the facial midline, and improved vertical dimension and occlusion (bite)
In addition to this work, we removed a failing bridge, while being able to spare the anterior abutment, on the lower left and placed an immediate implant for tooth #19. This will be ready for a restoration in 2 months.
Esthetic Zone Crown Lengthening BioTemp Phase
This case shows what can happen when dentistry is performed poorly. This patient presented with severely inflamed gingiva as a result of biologic width impingement and poorly sealed crowns allowing a bacterial invasion. (X-rays at the end are pre-treatment).
Upon removing the old dental work, I performed biologic shaping (removing the old margins), laser gingivectomy, and crown lengthening (bone removal) to create an esthetic gingival display as well as a healthy environment for our new dental work.
After an initial healing period of 4 weeks, I digitally scanned the teeth to have long term, individual temporary crowns (BioTemps) made. By fabricating individual crowns instead of splinted crowns, the patient will be able to brush and floss effectively in order to allow the gums to fully heal, before proceeding to final restorations.
After another 6-8 weeks of healing, we will proceed to have the final crowns made (as long as all gingival inflammation is gone, and the gingival papilla is filled in).
Stay tuned for the final restorations
