Severe Restorative Breakdown

Posted in Cosmetic Dentistry
Posted on January 30, 2019 by Dr. Gerald Marlin

With several missing teeth, many teeth that were severely decayed, and a dramatically collapsed bite, this patient was in danger of losing her remaining upper teeth and having to wear a denture. By opening her bite and creating crowns that more naturally match to her very attractive lip line, we were able to return her pretty appearance and take many years off of her presentation to others. In this case, we were able to salvage her dentition without implants.
