"It is no exaggeration for me to state that I am sure that Dr. Laurence J. Howe and his outstanding staff saved my life. The early detection of a salivary gland carcinoma was a result of a routine and thorough mouth examination. The critical factor here is the early discovery of the cancer while it was very small and had not progressed out of the salivary gland. Dr. Howe immediately sent me to a specialist and a quick operation was entirely successful in removing the salivary gland with all of the cancer enclosed.

I had the good fortune to become a patient of Dr. Howe in 1992. As a result of my long military career, I have traveled around the world, from the Middle East, to South America, to the Far East and have been treated by many, many dentists. Also having lived all over the United States, I have had several different dentists who treated me on a regular basis. I can say to you that Dr. Howe is among the very best dentists that I have had the pleasure of knowing and who have worked on my many and various dental problems.

Now, some 13 years later I consider Dr. Howe to be one of the very best, knowledgeable and skilled dentists that I have known. I look forward to many more years of his outstanding care."

  BEFORE AND AFTER PHOTOS  

Cosmetic Filling Technique  

Dr. Howe used tooth-colored filling material to repair the patient's chipped teeth.

The same method was used to correct the appearance of two misshaped teeth after the patient's orthodontic treatment was completed.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers were placed on the 6 upper front teeth by Dr. Howe to hide enamel malformation caused by a high fever when the patient was a child. 

Dental Implant Reconstruction

The upper and lower teeth were removed.  Dental implants were inserted by an oral surgeon.  Dr. Howe reconstructed teeth to restore function and improve appearance.
