complex reconstruction case 1880 before after 2An attorney from Washington, DC, who frequently speaks in front of juries, judges, lawyers, and business professionals, was seeking a cosmetic improvement with this smile.

For years, he had been a very severe teeth grinder and had worn down all his teeth with a significant reduction in the height of his bite, which was greatly impacting his appearance as well as his oral health.

The Elite Prosthetic Dentistry team worked with this patient to develop a treatment plan to restore his smile. The team essentially had to estimate where his teeth originally appeared to help them match his facial structure and lip line while opening his bite to create a more youthful appearance.

This patient’s results speak for themselves. “The result that I came out with was absolutely excellent,” he says, noting that Dr. Marlin and the Elite Prosthetic Dentistry team worked with him to accommodate his busy work schedule while completing his treatment.
