Doris

Doris has a tooth grinding habit. She grinds her lower jaw back and forth. Look at what  happens when you grind your teeth, back & forth!  The upper front teeth are knife edge thin.  The lower teeth are badly worn downward in an unattractive shape.  both upper and lower front teeth are worn through the enamel into the inside of the  teeth.  

Doris had two choices in treatment.  One, she could have all of her upper  and lower teeth crowned. Or, two, she could crown the upper front six teeth, remove the lower incisors, drop the bite down there, place two implants and make a lower front porcelain bridge.  This is the treatment plan that Doris chose. 

Doris  now has two lower jaw implants that support the lower front  porcelain bridge.  Doris  has 6 upper anterior zirconia crowns.   She also has a lower right  jaw implant for the replacement of her  missing lower right side first molar. 

Doris loves her  new smile!     Doris helped design her smile  her way!  Dr. L. and Doris give "thumbs up" to the Doris's   new smile!
