Cosmetic Dentistry is Not EnoughCosmetic dentistry generally addresses the superficial aspects of a patient’s mouth. When considering cosmetic work, it is crucial to tackle any dental health concerns before starting treatment. Cosmetic dentistry can usually make you look better, but the results won’t last long if there is an underlying gum disease, severe bone loss, dental decay, bad bite or bite collapse. |

Bite ReconstructionCosmetic dentistry alone could not achieve the results Sherlene needed to improve her health and comfort. In order to make her upper teeth appear longer and better balanced, Sherlene needed to have her bite completely reconstructed. Treatment involved dental implants and fixed porcelain bridges to replace her missing teeth, porcelain crowns, non-surgical gum treatment plus periodontal surgery for her health. Her upper teeth lengthened and the lower teeth shortened. Sherlene’s bite was raised to physically lengthen her face and support her lips. Her entire face is revitalized and now has a wider, fuller smile, white teeth and balanced facial dynamics. Completed TreatmentSherlene relayed a story about being at a dinner with a long time male friend who thought she looked great but could not figure out what was different. He asked, "You look so great, what did you do?" She said, "Well, I just went to the hair dresser and maybe she over did the highlights." "That’s it, that’s it," he says, "you look so great you should always keep your hair that color!" She laughed to herself, knowing her hair is exactly the same color and thought, “Thank you Dr. Muslin”. |
