Bad luck has a way of finding us all. Liz’s story is terrifying - but not to worry, there is a happy ending! Continue scrolling to see more.
Liz was enjoying an ordinary day at home, taking care of her small children, when she slipped on a bathroom rug in the dark and was knocked unconscious after her face hit the edge of the sink. Upon awakening, Liz noticed extreme discomfort around her right eye, bridge of her nose, and mouth. A dentist friend of Liz immediately recognized her need for cosmetic and functional rehabilitative treatment and referred her to Nuance Dental Specialists.
The damage to Liz’s fractured teeth required the placement of three restorations: a dental implant, plus a porcelain veneer, and a full-coverage all-ceramic crown. Liz had always wanted to brighten her smile, so we added a round of tooth whitening to her treatment to enhance her gorgeous smile.

Sara’s full-time job and commute from New Hampshire didn’t stop her from getting the smile she always wanted! Continue scrolling to see more.
Sara is a hard-working nurse as has a lot of experience with the medical field. However, she was unsuccessful in receiving the cosmetic dental work on her front two teeth that she wanted to feel more confident in front of her own patients. Sara diligently searched for a Board-Certified Prosthodontist, but was unable to locate an expert near her. Sara committed to making the trip from her home in New Hampshire to Maine to receive expert care at Nuance Dental Specialists.
To give Sara a truly one of a kind and stunning smile, we gave her two rounds of tooth whitening, followed by an implant crown on her right central incisor to replace her old implant crown, and an all-ceramic crown on her left central incisor so that she would never have to deal with the discoloration and chipping of the composite bonding that was placed many years ago.

Galen was left in dental limbo with an unfinished implant. Getting his smile back had unique challenges. Continue scrolling to see more.
Galen was no stranger to dental work. Over the years, he had lost a tooth, broke a tooth - had some resin-bonding added, received an implant, started Invisalign, and by the time he self-referred to Nuance Dental Specialists, he was lost on how to ever get his smile back. We used a proprietary protocol to freshen-up and whiten Galen’s teeth, while at the same time painlessly removing all the existing orthodontic resin left over from his aligners. The implant and adjacent natural tooth were restored with highly aesthetic all-ceramic crowns.
Seeing a young patient, like Galen, smile again with vigor, confidence, and without shame was incredible. From a cosmetic dentistry perspective,Galen certainly looks amazing, but his oral health has been able to recover with the removal of all the plastic that was attracting stains and bacteria around his dentition. Our goal with every case is to create a natural aesthetic so that our patients can stand out, not the dental work that was done.

Megan has an incredible smile - but she was shy about showing the discolored crowns on her two implants. Continue scrolling to see more.
Megan has bilateral, congenitally missing lateral incisors. About 25 years ago she had two implants with ceramic crowns placed to replace the absent dentition. As time passed, she had the crowns replaced multiple times to try to improve the aesthetics, however, Megan was never satisfied with the final results. Megan felt like she was fighting a losing battle when she first sought out treatment at Nuance Dental Specialists. We knew that it would take a very specific type of porcelain to achieve the natural cosmetic look that Megan was searching for.
We utilized a fully-digital protocol to produce intraoral scans of Megan’s upper and lower dental arches. Utilizing these scans, we fabricated custom bleaching trays to whiten and brighten her teeth. Once the desired color was achieved, we painlessly removed the old implant crowns, and replaced them with highly aesthetic all-ceramic crowns. In all phases of Megan’s smile, we were able to achieve a beautiful final result that gave her the confidence to show her amazing teeth off to the world.
