Implant Photo
Gallery
Here are some before/after pictures of
implants that I have personally placed
(except for case #2 - see
below).
A big thank you to my patients pictured below
who consented to the use of their photos! I placed the
crowns/bridges/denture pictured below as
well.
(these pictures can not be reproduced without
written consent from Dr. Jeff Shnall)
Case 1a
This patient had two upper front teeth removed a few
years prior.
Another before view.
 I placed two dental implants.
Here
is the after photo of the two porcelain crowns cemented onto two
implants.
Case
1b
This patient had two have
several upper left teeth removed. Three implants were placed,
followed by the placement of permanent crowns.

Here are the final pictures. Note that the patient did not
wish to change the appearance of his front teeth.

Case 2
In years past, if a patient was missing all their
upper or lower teeth they were faced with a life wearing a full
removable denture.
Now patients have an option. In the upper jaw
6 to 8 implants can be placed and a permanent set of teeth can be
attached to the implants.
Our patient pictured below had 10 implants placed
by an oral surgeon (although I often place my own implants).
I made a temporary set of teeth (temporary bridge) that we
attached to the implants with 10 screws. The teeth can only
be removed by me and not the patient.

Smile View with Temporary Bridge in Place
The temporary bridge was worn for about six months
allowing for further healing of the implants. The permanent
bridge was then inserted and is pictured below:

FINAL UPPER BRIDGE screwed into
ten implants
(can be simply unscrewed and removed by dentist
but not by the patient)
Case
3
This patient was missing his four lower front
teeth. I placed two implants and inserted a permanent
porecelain/metal bridge that was cemented onto the two implants.
See photos below:

Case
4
The case below is one that required a combination
of a single implant and a porcelain/metal bridge to replace several
upper left teeth.
BEFORE
-The upper left
tooth (second one in) was badly decayed and had to be
removed.
-The tooth beside
this one, to the right on the picture was rotated and our patient
wished it looked nicer. See below:
BEFORE
AFTER
The final picture shows the decayed tooth replaced
by a dental implant and porecelain/metal crown which I placed in
approximately June 2008. Some of the upper left teeth were replaced
with a porcelain/metal bridge.
Case
5
This patient wanted to replace two missing upper
left teeth and also improve the overall appearance of her smile.
BEFORE
BEFORE
BEFORE
I placed one implant in her upper left jaw
and replaced the two missing teeth with a small bridge
cemented on the one implant. I also placed porcelain veneers
on four upper teeth to close the space in between the front two
teeth and to improve the smile.

Case
6
Every patient we see has their own unique needs and
preferences. The patient pictured below wanted to improve the
appearance of his smile but did not want a complete makeover (i.e.
he did not want orthodontics, whitening, veneers,etc).
BEFORE
BEFORE (close-up)
BEFORE
I recommended we
(1) remove the upper left front tooth (the one that was badly
out of position). and (2) recommended making the two front
teeth a little narrower as they were quite wide and overlapped the
neighbouring teeth. The picture below shows these two
changes:
In Progress
The lower tooth below the extracted one was also
levelled off (shortened) to allow more roon for an upper
replacement tooth.
Pictured below is the
final result:
