ENHANCING SMILE WITH FULL MOUTH TREATMENT
Before Smile Transformation
Dr. Johnson, a renowned cosmetic dentist in Toronto, recently managed an extraordinary case that sheds light on the marvels of cosmetic dentistry. The case involved a patient with severely worn-out front teeth and missing molars, resulting in drastic impairment of dental function and aesthetics.
The patient presented with an intriguing dental conundrum. The lack of molar contact had forced him to rely heavily on his front teeth for mastication. Consequently, the front teeth had been worn down nearly to the nerves, exacerbating the need for immediate intervention. Furthermore, the missing molars were not just a cosmetic concern but also a functional disability that needed addressing.

Intraoral Picture of the patient with Deep Bite
Deep Bite
A "deep bite" is a type of malocclusion, or misalignment of the teeth, where the upper front teeth almost completely overlap the lower front teeth when the mouth is closed. This condition is also referred to as an overbite, but a deep bite specifically refers to a severe or extreme form of overbite.
Risks and problems associated with a deep bite include:
-
Tooth Wear: Deep bite can lead to excessive wear on the lower front teeth and can cause chipping or fracturing of the teeth. Over time, the tooth enamel can wear away, leading to tooth sensitivity.
-
Gum Damage: The lower front teeth can cause trauma to the gum tissue behind the upper front teeth, leading to gum recession, which in turn may lead to tooth sensitivity and periodontal disease.
-
Jaw Pain and Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMJ): An improperly aligned bite can put strain on the jaw muscles, leading to pain and potential TMJ disorders.
-
Speech Issues: Depending on the severity of the deep bite, speech difficulties may occur.
-
Aesthetic Concerns: A deep bite can affect the overall appearance of one's face and smile.
-
Difficulty Chewing: In severe cases, a deep bite might impact one's ability to chew food properly.
It's important to note that not everyone with a deep bite will experience these issues, and the severity of symptoms can vary from person to person. Treatment options are available and typically involve orthodontic intervention, such as braces, clear aligners, or in some cases, surgery. It's important to consult with a dental professional if you suspect you have a deep bite or any other type of malocclusion.

Dr. Johnson began the journey of this patient's smile transformation by first addressing the urgent concern of worn-out front teeth. A root canal treatment was performed, after which fiber posts were inserted to create new cores. The next step was to cover these cores with dental crowns to not only protect them but also to enhance the cosmetic appeal. The use of porcelain crowns, chosen for their excellent durability and natural appearance, allowed for a fantastic smile design, presenting a significant part of the patient's smile makeover.
But this wasn't the end of the patient's smile transformation. Dr. Johnson understood that to restore full dental function, it was necessary to recreate the bite function on the back teeth. He thus embarked on the pathway of replacing the missing teeth using dental implants. The technique involved the placement of screw-retained implant-supported crowns and bridges, customized to mimic the patient's original teeth.

To create enough space for the ideal function, it was essential to increase the vertical dimension of occlusion. This corrective measure not only helped reinstate the bite functionality but also contributed to the overall aesthetics of the patient's smile, bringing it a step closer to the dream of a perfect smile makeover.
Upon completion of the treatment plan, the patient's smile was entirely transformed. The beautifully crafted porcelain crowns and meticulously placed dental implants returned the functionality of his teeth, all the while enhancing his overall facial aesthetics.
In summary, this case report illustrates the power of advanced cosmetic dentistry techniques in providing comprehensive solutions for complex dental problems. By leveraging his skills and innovative approaches, Dr. Johnson, the leading cosmetic dentist in Toronto, offered a new lease on life to a patient with severely worn-out teeth and missing molars. It was indeed a remarkable journey from compromised dental function to a beautiful, fully functional smile.
