Real patient transformations by board-certified periodontist Dr. Chanook David Ahn. Every case shown below was performed at The Loft Dental Studio in Costa Mesa, CA using evidence-based techniques and the latest dental technology.
Patient presented with a failed front tooth. Single dental implant placed with bone grafting and custom ceramic crown for a natural, seamless result.
Results may vary. Individual outcomes depend on clinical factors.
Patient with failing dentition received All-on-4 implant-supported full arch restoration, replacing an entire arch of compromised teeth with a fixed, natural-looking prosthesis.
Results may vary. Individual outcomes depend on clinical factors.
Significant bone loss required guided bone regeneration before implant placement. Staged approach ensured a strong foundation for the final restoration.
Results may vary. Individual outcomes depend on clinical factors.
Patient presented with deep pockets (7-9mm) and bone loss. LANAP laser treatment eliminated infection and restored gum health without scalpel or sutures.
Results may vary. Individual outcomes depend on clinical factors.
Mobile teeth stabilized through LANAP treatment and bone regeneration. The laser protocol promoted new bone growth around previously compromised teeth.
Results may vary. Individual outcomes depend on clinical factors.
Progressive gum disease halted and reversed through combined LANAP laser treatment and ongoing maintenance therapy, preserving the patient's natural teeth.
Results may vary. Individual outcomes depend on clinical factors.
Recession on upper canines treated with autogenous connective tissue grafts. Root coverage restored both aesthetics and protection against further recession.
Results may vary. Individual outcomes depend on clinical factors.
Recession across 4 adjacent teeth treated in a single grafting session under IV sedation. All four sites achieved excellent root coverage in one visit.
Results may vary. Individual outcomes depend on clinical factors.
Connective tissue graft enhanced with Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) for accelerated healing. The patient's own growth factors promoted faster tissue integration and recovery.
Results may vary. Individual outcomes depend on clinical factors.
Excess gum tissue reshaped to reveal more natural tooth structure. Crown lengthening created a balanced, proportional smile line with dramatically improved aesthetics.
Results may vary. Individual outcomes depend on clinical factors.
Combined periodontal and cosmetic approach for a balanced smile. Gum tissue was sculpted first to create ideal proportions, followed by porcelain veneers for a harmonious result.
Results may vary. Individual outcomes depend on clinical factors.
Uneven gum line corrected for a symmetrical smile. Precise tissue sculpting balanced the gum margins across the front teeth for a naturally even appearance.
Results may vary. Individual outcomes depend on clinical factors.
Complex case involving implants, bone grafting, and prosthetic restoration. A comprehensive treatment plan addressed multiple areas of concern to rebuild the patient's entire smile.
Results may vary. Individual outcomes depend on clinical factors.
Transition from failing teeth to stable implant-supported dentures. Strategically placed implants provide a fixed, permanent prosthesis that functions like natural teeth.
Results may vary. Individual outcomes depend on clinical factors.
Multi-stage reconstruction with sinus lifts, bone grafting, and implants. This phased approach rebuilt the foundation before placing the final restorations for a complete transformation.
Results may vary. Individual outcomes depend on clinical factors.
