Patient came to the office seeking help for sleep apnea. He hated the machine he had at home. He complained about TMJ pain, tension grinding and clenching of his teeth. He had a lot of old restorations, such as mercury fillings and metal crowns, and also had a lot of wear and cracks on his teeth. We performed a full mouth reconstruction, placing porcelain restorations on all his teeth. Not only did we lengthen his teeth, we also allowed him to show his upper and lower teeth when he smiles. In addition to that, he traded in that machine he hated for a sleep apnea appliance. He couldn’t believe the results. He is very happy with his teeth and absolutely loves his new smile.
Amina came to us complaining of TMJ pain, headaches and some facial, chin asymmetries. Amina also mentioned that she was not happy with the way her smile looked. A comprehensive exam and TMJ work up was performed and we determined that through severe grinding, Amina wore down her teeth significantly which caused bite changes that led to joint issues and the lower third of her face to become asymmetrical. We spoke to Amina and decided to go through the phases of treatment, where we started with a neuromuscular orthotic to rebuild her bite and help with her symptoms. Then a full mouth rehab was performed to restore her smile and improve her facial symmetry. Upon completion Amina couldn’t believe her eyes on what a transformation we were able to accomplish. Amina is thrilled with the results and can’t stop smiling.
Patient came to River Edge Dental looking to improve her smile. Patient stated that she wanted to brighten her teeth. An examination was performed and patient’s concerns were discussed. Through conversation patient recognized that she had a bite/space issue and in order for cosmetic work to last space needed to be created through a bite rebuilding phase. Patient agreed and work was started. Space was created and bite raised through orthotic therapy and then cosmetic work of porcelain veneers was completed to give the patient a beautiful smile and improved facial features. Patient was super happy with the results!
