You deserve a loyal, dependable partner for complex cases.

Sometimes cases arise that are better referred out of your office. Whether a case is too time consuming, or a bit outside of your comfort zone, you need a trustworthy partner who can offer expanded treatment options for your patients.

But letting go of a valued patient can be worrisome. Dr. Vence respects and values the doctor-patient relationship. That is why he communicates with referring dentists during treatment to provide ongoing updates and collaborative treatment planning, he sends back work the referring dentists can and want to do with their own patients, and he sends back exceptionally satisfied patients. In fact, patients tend to thank their dentists for the referral, and the coorperative process is of great credit to the referring dentist.

Dr. Vence’s 35 years of diagnostic and clinical expertise, his proven track record, and his professional affiliations with the AAED, AARD, FACD, and FICD can give you confidence your patients will receive world class innovation and technique.

Management of Dentoalveolar Ridge Defects for Implant Site Development: An Interdisciplinary Approach

This article presents the interdisciplinary management
of a severe alveolar ridge defect to enable optimal
implant placement and minimally invasive dentistry
for an optimal functional and esthetic outcome.

Clinical Treatment Planning - Case 73 (DX)

This article outlines the diagnosis and prognosis of a 60-year-old male who had been under the care of his longstanding general dentist with regular dental visits. Dr. Vence proposed and carried out a treatment plan to specifically address the needs of the patient after the co-discovery process.

Clinical Treatment Planning - Case 73 (TX)

Sequential Tooth Preparation For Aesthetic Porcelain Full-Coverage Crown Restorations

The fabrication and delivery of functional, biocompatible restorations with a natural appearance have become the definitive goals of restorative dentistry. This article presents a sequential approach that can be used to render the proper shape and margin design critical to the fabrication of full-coverage crown restorations that are indistinguishable from the adjacent natural teeth.

Predictable Esthetics through Functional Design: The Role of Harmonious Disclusion

The goal of this clinical report is to describe and illustrate the principles for achieving a predictable esthetic result for patients with worn incisal edges by creating a harmonious angle of disclusion. An angle of disclusion in harmony with a patient’s envelope of parafunction reduces load on the anterior teeth and therefore may help reduce failure on the restored anterior teeth.

Implants: Plan B As A Contingency Plan For Restorative Failures

Even when dentists execute proven principles and use contemporary techniques optimally, the oral environment, cyclic loading, and thermal cycling cause materials or structures to fail. Implant dentistry enables dentists to limit the extent of their restorations and plan for one-tooth or fixed-partial dentures of just three or four units, limiting the extent of replacing failures in contingency plans.

A Classification System For Crestal and Redicular Dentoalveolar Bone Phenotypes

Pretreatment knowledge of crestal and radicular dentoalveolar zones and their associated thickness can improve risk assessment to meet esthtic and functional goals, particularly when discrepancies in anterior maxillary and mandibular arches exist and when an anterior protected articulation is to be achieved.

Susanne: Before

Susanne presented with a resin bonded fixed bridge to replace her upper right lateral incisor. The metal wings of the Maryland bridge made the attached adjacent teeth appear gray. She also could not floss naturally around the bridge. The lateral incisors had a tooth size discrepancy.

Susanne: After

Susanne underwent orthodontic therapy, implant treatment, and restorative dentistry by Dr. Vence and his interdisciplinary team. Using this approach he was able to create more ideal tooth proportions with minimal restorative dentistry; Simply one crown and esthetic bonding to restore tooth contours.

Jerry: Before

Jerry is a patient in his sixty′s who hasn′t been happy with the appearance of his smile. Jerry′s smile was not pleasing due to his discolored teeth and poor bite causing worn teeth. His bite problems where caused by a discrepancy in the relationship of his jaw bones. He was looking for a non-surgical correction to his bite.

Jerry: After

Jerry underwent a combination of orthodontic therapy, transitionalbonding and restorative dentistry to open his bite to non-surgically correct his anterior cross bite. His definitive restorations consists of porcelain fused to metal crowns in the posterior and all ceramic crowns in the anterior.

Scott: Before

Scott suffered from tetracycline stained teeth due to antibiotic use as a child. He desired to correct the discolored teeth and fabricate crowns on his lateral incisors where the form and contour blended better with his adjacent teeth. he wanted to minimize his current expense and future maintenance by having minimally invasive treatment. This requires a master technician.

Scott: After

Bleaching tetracycline stained teeth is commonly thought to be impossible. However, it has been reported by the University of North Carolina that prolonged bleaching can improve tetracycline stained teeth. Scott bleached his teeth for 8 months, and Dr. Vence simply restored his smile with two veneers on the central incisors_and two porcelain fused to metal crowns on the lateral incisors.

“When I came to you several years ago the condition of my teeth was dire. As we embarked upon the eventual full mouth reconstruction I was both filled with anxiety and fearful of the process to ensue. This was due to the extensive work that would be required and, in part, to my earliest memories of you that included a helmet, shoulder pads and cleats.”

– Jack

“Although we have verbally expressed our appreciation many times, we both want to take a moment to formally acknowledge the excellent dental care that we have received over the years. We continue to rely on your professionalism, expertise, dedication, and passion for your work to provide us with the very best in dental care.”

– Judith & Fred

“I have all the confidence in the world in your abilities as a dentist. You are very good at what you do and I have never had a dentist that takes so much pride in this work. Thank you so much and I hope I don”t see you for another six months, nothing personal.”

– Angela

“Did you know that I drove 2000 miles for my last appointment in November? I wouldn’t have anyone do serious dental work except you Brian. I trust your work and the atmosphere in your office. Your professionalism emanates right on through your staff.”

– Larry

“Dr. Vence has recently finished a complete restoration of my mouth. He is professional, caring and above all a perfectionist. My results were impeccable. My teeth look natural and my smile is as bright as can be. Dr. Vence’s restoration increased my confidence. His office staff is also wonderful. Whether they are assisting in scheduling appointments, or just holding your hand, you could not feel any more cared for. If you want a great result that you can be proud of, I highly recommend using Dr. Vence.”

– Dana

“My situation was very complex and required a multi-disciplinary effort which included endodontists, periodontic oral surgery, ceramic technicians and finally, a comprehensive restorative dentist. As my restorative dentist, Dr. Vence coordinated all aspects of my case. He and his team of experts and support staff went above and beyond the call of duty in making sure my restoration was not only aesthetically superior but that it would have long term functionality. Throughout this process Dr. Vence and his team were always available, caring and professional. I highly recommend Dr. Vence for any of your dental needs.”

– Amy

We can’t wait to meet you, and we never pressure anyone.
