Bite Collapse

Beyond a Full Mouth Reconstruction
His upper teeth were worn down so badly that they could not be seen which is typical of patients in their 50's, 60's and 70's. Many of our patients complain that nobody can see their upper teeth unless they make the biggest smile possible. For this patient even when his upper teeth did show they were worn down flat and yellow.
He had suffered a full bite collapse and he needed a dentist that could go beyond a full mouth reconstruction. He knew that his family dentist could not give him the care that he needed so he started looking for the best dentist in Los Angeles. One of his children told us that he actually found Dr. Muslin on the internet after searching for the best cosmetic dentist. Dr. Muslin was honored with "LA's Best" cosmetic dentist award in 2008, 2009, and 2010.

At his consultation it was clear that his bite was worn down and it was out of balance. He was way over-closing and his teeth were no longer supporting his face and soft tissue. His upper teeth were completely hidden when he spoke and barely visible when he smiled. Dr. Muslin pointed out, using his profile picture, that his upper lip was also sunken in and that his lower jaw was protruding. All of this was making him look much older than his actual age.

Dramatic Profile Improvements
Face Lift Dentistry ® was the best treatment plan that could go beyond a full mouth reconstruction to achieve results for his entire face. While he needed his bite restored, it was the correction to his upper lip and jaw position that made him look 10 years younger.
His profile is dramatically improved because his jaw is now positioned ideally, his teeth are supporting his lips, and the overall length of his face has been restored. In his profile view you will see a significant reduction in the wrinkles around his eyes in his after photo. Now that his jaw and teeth are supporting the soft tissue of his face, all of the fine lines are minimized and smoothed.
The entire treatment was completed quickly without any days off from work and his entire face saw great results.
