A patient case study by Dr. Andrew Tonelli

During her recent hygiene visit, our patient Jill mentioned that she disliked her smile. She explained it was not because of her front teeth, but rather how those on the sides looked.

A patient case study by Dr. Brian Crowley

The state of dentistry today offers an ever-changing landscape, buoyed by continuous developments in technology and materials. Although keeping up with the evolution of technology can be daunting, it is one of my favorite parts of the profession. New technology allows us to provide a better experience for our patients — often in less time, and with less discomfort.
