Before & After Transformation ✨
This patient is very special to me. He was referred by an orthodontist who felt they couldn’t help him due to occlusion. The amount of change and positivity I witnessed through his transformation is truly indescribable.
Initially, my treatment plan involved extracting all his teeth. But after reconsidering, I decided to preserve as much of his natural dentition as possible. We began by extracting the posterior teeth due to occlusal issues, which allowed me to test the posterior occlusion and estimate the proper vertical dimension (VDO).
I then performed crown lengthening on the six anterior teeth, initially just to guide implant depth — but to my surprise, the result provided enough healthy tooth structure to save them! And at his last appointment, I asked him if he was happy — his heartfelt response said it all 🤣
He was initially referred to me years ago, and he returned many years later to finally begin treatment.
🦷 Final treatment:
Anterior single crowns + posterior implant bridges. Beautiful lab work by
A huge thank you to oral surgeon Dr. Nate Cary for his incredible work with the posterior extractions, bone reduction, and implant placement. Teamwork truly made this transformation possible. after ̇cs
