Mike, a 60-year-old tech executive from Dallas, was frustrated with the appearance and condition of his front teeth. They had become shorter, worn down, fragile, and prone to chipping and breaking—often feeling sharp and uncomfortable. Beyond the functional issues, this also made him self-conscious about smiling.
Mike also had an excessive display of gum tissue when he smiled. To improve both esthetics and balance, a crown lengthening procedure was performed to make his upper front teeth appear longer and more natural. We then opened his bite, allowing us to redesign all of his teeth with a taller, more proportionate, and youthful shape—effectively turning back the clock on his smile.
At the conclusion of these types of treatments, a custom night guard is provided to protect your new smile. Worn only while sleeping, nightguards help preserve your investment and keep your smile looking great for decades to come!
