WHY THE PATIENT CAME TO US
Main Concern
A toothache brought the patient into our practice.
Patient Goal
"I want to keep my natural teeth for as long as possible."
After a comprehensive examination, we discovered the issue extended far beyond a single painful tooth.
After a comprehensive examination, we discovered the issue extended far beyond a single painful tooth.
THE CHALLENGE
Years of severe tooth wear had shortened the teeth and altered the patient’s bite.
Restoring one tooth alone would have placed excessive force on that restoration, making failure much more likely.
Imagine walking in one high heel. Everything becomes unbalanced. The same principle applies to your bite.
PLANNING THE NEW SMILE
Before treatment began, every tooth was carefully planned.

This allowed us to preserve the patient's natural teeth and create a healthy foundation for the reconstruction.
PHASE TWO

CLINICAL INSIGHT
Severe tooth wear affects far more than appearance. It changes the way your teeth meet, how you chew, and how long restorations will last.
Careful planning is the key to long-term success.
CONCERNED ABOUT WORN TEETH?
Early treatment can often prevent more extensive dental work later.
While most of our treatments are done by appointment, we understand that people have emergencies or sometimes a time slot becomes available unexpectedly so we will always try to fit you in when you call or walk in.
