Smile Gallery

Cosmetic dentistry can make a huge difference in a smile. While every patient has a before and after smile, we can only show a few here. Other patients have provided written and video testimonials of their experience with the dental care of San Francisco dentist Dr. Ken Hovden.

Lauren

Explanation:

Lauren had been a patient of mine for a few years always putting her son’s treatment first. Finally Lauren decided it was time to fix her teeth. Lauren suffered from a collapsed bite creating significant wear and thinning of her front teeth top and bottom. Lauren went through orthodontics to align the teeth then conservative porcelain veneers were placed to restore the worn teeth and create a beautiful smile.

Dina

Explanation:

Dina had been a patient of mine for many years we had fixed her back teeth, but timing wasn’t right to fix her front teeth. One day at a maintenance visit Dina told me she was ready. Dina’s teeth were flared and rotated. We were able to create a great smile by using a combination of porcelain veneers and porcelain crowns. It took about five weeks start to finish creating Dina’s gorgeous smile.

Mark

Explanation:

Mark was a personal friend who didn’t like his current smile. After an initial consultation a treatment plan was designed to not only enhance his smile but also address a bite issue. Mark was treated with a combination of porcelain veneers and crowns to establish a pleasing and stable smile.

Charles

Explanation:

Charles is my dad. He had been treated many years ago by one of his dental school classmates who did beautiful gold work. Unfortunately the remaining tooth structure was eroding away, creating a very aged smile. With a little encouragement my father allowed me to place porcelain crowns on his upper teeth and a few lower teeth to reverse the aging. What resulted was a more youthful natural smile.
