When Eve finally decided to do something about her teeth, she conferred with her boss about having a smile makeover. Why? “I’ve experienced Dr. Malick’s passion for dentistry first hand, which makes the patient’s experience comfortable, easy, and the end results life changing.”

Then Dr. Malick asked her employeeturned- patient detailed questions about what she didn’t like about her teeth and smile, and her goals, to be certain of Eve’s expectations. The end result: 14 artistically-crafted porcelain veneers and crowns on Eve’s upper teeth, which instantly straightened her teeth, enhanced the color, corrected her bite and eliminated old silver fillings.
For anyone considering this type of dental procedure, Dr. Malick suggests that patients should ask their dentist about his or her postgraduate training in aesthetic dentistry, and request to see high-quality before and after photos of cases the dentist has personally performed, or better yet, see cases completed in person.
