Case Study 22
A super fun SMILE DESIGN and RESTORATION.
step one
step one
This patient presented to our office knowing she was in need of some dental work. She had a history of acid erosion as well as a bite dysfunction that caused her to grind and wear her teeth. She had a job that put her in front of a lot of people, and she wanted her smile to “POP and SHINE.”

step TWO
When we are building a patient bite, it takes some time to design the right FUNCTIONAL bite for her.
We began with restoring the upper arch. The patient was in temporaries on her upper arch only.
Once the upper arch was complete, we then finished with the lower arch.

Because of previous dysfunction, this patient will be placed in occlusal guards at night. The areas once affected by acid (reflux/heartburn) are now covered in porcelain, which is an acid-resistant material.
