This patient had naturally good teeth throughout her life and reached her early 70s before seeking cosmetic dentistry. After thoroughly researching her options, she chose us with one clear goal: results that looked completely natural.
Our treatment plan included subtle rotations in the ceramic on her lower teeth to preserve authenticity, as well as addressing her crossbite by properly aligning the upper and lower teeth. She wanted to enhance her smile to look and feel her best – a transformation we were thrilled to provide.
A closer look reveals a classic example of being “long in the tooth.” While upper teeth are typically about one-third larger than lower teeth, recession on her bottom teeth made them appear disproportionately large. To restore balance, we carefully adjusted her bite by shortening the lower teeth and lengthening the upper teeth while preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible. By showing more of her upper teeth, her smile now appears youthful and vibrant, reflecting the best version of herself.
