Smile Reconstruction

"I want to smile again!" Replacing missing teeth and creating the best smile possible in just 2 appointments. Solid porcelain and metal-free porcelain bridges can yield the best in cosmetics and oral health results.
Carolyn
As we get older, our teeth get shorter and we loose support for our faces. The teeth actually get shorter in all dimensions as the enamel erodes from the front and back and the teeth and the teeth shorten from years of clenching, grinding, chewing and biting.
Carolyn
Old crowns with black lines at the gums, gum recession, tooth erosion, abrasion, crooked lower teeth were treated in about 3 weeks per arch by replacing her crowns with solid porcelain crowns. With perfect crown contours, her gums grew back without surgery.
Mitch
Beyond a full mouth reconstruction because it minimized his headaches and jaw pain as well! He wanted a totally natural smile without crooked teeth or an overbite. He wanted his upper teeth to show. He has a wider smile and a balanced bite with the damage caused by years of grinding eliminated.
Shaz
Her teeth did not fit together properly which made chewing very difficult. She wanted a healthy bit and jaw but also a beautiful smile. Her underbite was eliminated non-surgically and her facila shape and profile was improved.
Mathew
A deep overbite and years of tooth grinding resulted in the shortening of his face and thinning of his lips. With Face Lift Dentistry ® he had more than a full mouth reconstruction as his entire face was elongated, his jaw is stronger, and his lips are fuller. The results were achieved without surgery or chin implants.
Sarah
Eliminating one bad veneer for a totally natural and vibrant smile! She wanted a wider smile that showed more of her teeth and less of her gums. Her non-invasive porcelain veneers on the top perfectly match her natural teeth on the bottom.
Stacey
She had a miss-colored bridge that looked out of place with the rest of her teeth. Her teeth were short and out of proportion. With upper porcelain veneers and a new porcelain bridge her smile is now balanced and vibrant!
Josh
Non-Invasive Dentistry! Two badly shaped teeth that were too small and out of proportion. Only 2 teeth were treated with porcelain veneers. Prior to doing veneers, all of his teeth were whitened with a customized whitening system rather than Zoom, Brite Smile or Crest Strips.
Renetta
Face Lift Dentistry ® delivers dramatic improvements to the face and jaw without surgery. Dental implants under a denture or a partial denture give the denture retention and stability. The patient can chew and speak with confidence. Face Lift Dentures can improve the health and comfort of the patient.

Alice
The Dental Face Lift ®

No upper teeth were showing when she talked or smiled. As we age, our upper teeth get shorter and our upper lip can droop down. New denture, new partial denture, new fixed porcelain bridges were all replaced in just a few weeks for a dental face lift makeover.
Cynthia
Eliminating Tetracycline Stains

Dark tetracycline stained teeth were treated with porcelain veneers that required no grinding of her natural tooth structure. Crest whitening strips, Zoom II nor Brite Smile nor any other chemical teeth whiteners could accomplish the same results as the veneers.
Nancy
She needed porcelain crowns that were so perfectly fitted and designed that her gums would actually grow back naturally. The gaps and holes between her teeth were eliminated and the miss-shaped teeth now look beautiful and natural.
John
The patient looks 15 years younger since having the Face Lift Dentistry ® procedure! His teeth were worn down, his bite was out of balance, and his face had shortened making him look older then he should. His health is now improved, his teeth are whiter, and his face is longer which gives him a younger appearance.

The Face Lift Dentistry ® Procedure

Face Lift Dentistry - Before and After
Face Lift Dentistry - Profile

The Face Lift Dentistry ® procedure idealizes every facial characteristic to naturally improve your smile, profile, facial shape, jawline, and overall health. Thin lips can appear fuller without artificial fillers and implants because they are supported by the teeth. The face is permanently lengthened to smooth out wrinkles and minimze fine lines.  The teeth begin to support the cheeks for a younger and healthier appearance. The jawline is stronger or in better proportion to the rest of your face so that your look is improved from every angle.

Natural Facial Optimization


Face Lift Dentistry - Restoring the aging face

The aging face can appear naturally years younger by optimizing the teeth and coordinating the bite with the anti-aging dentistry treatments. Patients who look older than their actual age or even angry because of short and worn down teeth can reverse these signs of aging caused by a bad bite. Other patients suffer with a lower jaw that appears forced back and too small because of a deep over-bite but the Face Lift Dentistry ® procedure can help them too.

The teeth are idealized in every dimension to improve speech and TMJ comfort as well. The Face Lift Dentistry ® procedure enhances the patient's self-confidence, appearance and persona every single day for the rest of their lives. Dr. Muslin focuses on maximizing the health and appearance of his patients many of which will achieve their results without having to grind down their natural teeth.

Anti-Aging Dentistry

Anti-Aging Dentistry - Before and After

Natural aging and tooth wear can lead to a shortened vertical face dimension, resulting in wrinkles and thin, compressed lips that can make you look older than you are. The Dental Face Lift ® minimizes small wrinkles, and creates fuller lips simply by returning aging teeth to their more ideal height.

Aging and tooth wear are normal processes that lead to the loss of vertical dimension in your face. Basically, as teeth wear and shorten, the distance between the tip of your nose and the bottom of your chin gets smaller.  This type of tooth wear and grinding throughout the first forty or fifty years of life can leave you looking older than you should with premature wrinkles.

Dr. Muslin's non-invasive Dental Face Lift ® procedure reverses these effects, restoring a more youthful appearance without the need for painful cosmetic surgery or short-term  injections like Botox or Restylane.  The results are long term and they can take 15 years off of your face.

Underbite Correction Without Surgery


Underbite Correction Without Surgery

The patient is biting her teeth together in both photos. The Face Lift Dentistry ® procedure can dramatically improve your life by idealizing the proportions of the teeth, improving your profile, and creating a healthy bite.

Underbites generally involve a difference in jaw sizes. In this case, the patient has an oversized lower jaw and an undersized upper jaw. She was told by approximately 4 dentists or TMJ experts that the only solution was a very invasive surgery that would cut down the size of her lower jaw and also try to split the upper jaw to make it wider. She was very unhappy with this option, until she found Dr Sam Muslin who had a non-surgical overbite correction procedure.

Overbite Correction and the Shape of Our Faces

Teeth play a huge role in the support of the our face. The shape of our faces and our bites were formed as we develop between ages 6 to 13. During that time we were growing and after that time we continued to grow. Our bites were formed randomly and without any precision. The shape of our faces is directly related to the type of bite that, by chance, we grew into.

Overbite Correction

Some of us have a deep overbite that contributes to a short lower face, while others have a short lower face attributed to years of grinding and the natural wear. The problem in both scenarios is that the tooth enamel and height is not sufficiently supporting our bites and our faces.  The Dental Face Lift® restores the height of the teeth to rebuild the bite, resulting in better chewing ability, increased facial height, and a more youthful face.

Overbite Correction - Before and After

The goal of the Face Lift Dentistry ® procedure is to treat the entire face, the balance and function of the bite, and the overall health of the body.   By maximizing the potential of the patient's teeth to support the face, lips and cheeks a more refreshed and youthful appearance is restored.

Cosmetic Dentistry or the Face Lift Dentistry ® procedure

Cosmetic dentistry can make us look better but it generally does not address health concerns nor the shape of our faces. Yet, bite reconstruction dentistry combined with cosmetic dentistry and TMJ or jaw joint dentistry can transform the entire face.

Conventional cosmetic dentistry focuses mainly on enhancing the appearance of a person's smile so the results are not realized unless you are smiling.  In general, people smile only about two percent of the time, while the other 98% is spent speaking or at rest.  Face Lift Dentistry ® delivers results for your face and profile all of the time.

Better Profile – Improving Weak Chins or Protruding Lower Jaws

Dr. Muslin's Dental Face Lift ® system of assessing and treating facial cosmetic issues goes far beyond "Just the Smile". The dental face lift treatment actually lifts and permanently lengthens the entire face while improving the profile and jawline. Cosmetic dentistry alone cannot offer this result.

Jaw Alignment Without Surgery

Some patients suffer from a weak chin while others feel that they have a protruding lower jaw.  The Face Lift Dentistry ® procedure can improve the proportions of your entire face and profile without surgery.

Jaw Alignment - Before and After

Jaw Alignment: The patient on the left needed her weak chin and jawline moved forward and strengthened.  The patient on the right needed her chin and jawline moved back to improve her facial profile!

The most important aspect of the the Face Lift Dentistry ® procedure is the geometrical, functional and three-dimensional analysis that Dr. Muslin develops for each patient.  A live motion camera system allows patients to observe themselves on an in-office television monitor from all angles including profile. This is one of many technological tools that Dr. Muslin utilizes to communicate with his patients.  We find that most patients are not aware of how they look while they are speaking, or which teeth even showing.  

The Best Cosmetic Dentist and More

Face Lift Dentistry requires highly specialized equipment, many years of experience and the ability to think "outside the box" which cannot be taught in dental school.  In order to acheive the very best results for the patient the dentist must have the vision of an artist along with the technical capacity to move accurately and quickly.
Each person presents a different set of health and aesthetic problems and every patient wants a unique look. With over 28 years of dentistry experience in Santa Monica Dr. Muslin offers his patients the latest technology and superior artistic skills for results that are natural looking and as functionally comfortable as possible.

A Totally Custom Look For You

You will notice that every single one of Dr. Muslin’s patients looks different.  Each patient has a unique color, shape, and style to their smile and this is all by design.   Each of Dr. Muslin’s patients is a major participant in the aesthetic decisions that are made so that results are what the patient wants.

When you look through Dr. Muslin’s patients on this site you may think that one patient chose a color that is too white for your taste.  You may also prefer the shapes and style of one patients’ look over another and this is a good thing.  All of Dr. Muslin’s patients get their own unique look based upon their individual taste.  This level of customization is what you can count on to make sure that you can achieve the look you desire.

Sure we will offer you guidance and advice as to which color and shape would compliment your facial features the best but ultimately the decision is all yours.  Some patients want a totally natural and subtle look while others are trying to achieve a brighter and more impactful smile.  Take a look at the two patients below that clearly have different aesthetic goals.

Both of these patients achieved the look that they desired!  He chose a very natural color and anatomically based shapes while she chose a more youthful and vibrant color in more idealized shapes.  Coming to Dr Muslin gives you the opportunity to make these kinds of decisions for yourself.

How Is the Face Lift Dentistry ® procedure Actually Done?


Jill - Mouth Reconstruction

All of the old fillings, crowns and decay are removed and the teeth are cleaned. Specialized and customized porcelain veneers and porcelain crowns are artistically crafted to function as an organized system.  This system is three dimensionally designed by Dr. Muslin to support your soft tissue, enhance your profile and optimize your facial shape.  Once the porcelain is bonded into place the results are evident and long term.

With biologically compatible dental materials and all infection removed the health of the patient is improved. The porcelain can add color and luster to your teeth while still looking completely natural. Some porcelain technologies are better adapted to certain dental situations. The dentist has to understand the advantages and disadvantages of all of the porcelain systems available today in order to give the patient the best possible technology and durability.
