The Rediscovery of a Smile: Overcoming a Lifetime of Wear

After decades of severe bruxism and bite misalignment, this patient's teeth were heavily worn down, leading to a collapsed bite and a loss of facial support.

The Challenge

The primary goal was to reverse a lifetime of structural damage in a very short timeframe. This required more than a cosmetic fix; we had to rebuild her vertical bite height and reset her oral health foundation to ensure her new smile would be both comfortable and durable against future grinding.

Our Approach

We moved quickly to restore her hope with a comprehensive rehabilitation. We first secured the health of her teeth with endodontic retreats and strong core build-ups. After stabilizing her occlusion to protect against further wear, we placed custom-designed ceramic restorations. These high-quality ceramics restored the natural length, brightness, and translucency she had lost over the years.
