A dramatic improvement

Dental Implant Cases
Single-Tooth Dental Implant for Smile Restoration
Patient concern
The patient presented with a missing upper front tooth, which caused functional challenges while eating and speaking, as well as significant aesthetic concerns. They expressed a desire for a permanent solution that would restore both functionality and confidence in their smile.
A step-by-step treatment plan was developed to
- Place a titanium dental implant securely into the jawbone to serve as the tooth root.
- Attach a custom-designed dental crown to match the natural teeth in color, size, and shape.
- Ensure a seamless restoration for optimal function and aesthetics.
The procedure was carried out in two phases
- Implant Placement: The implant was surgically placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia. The site was allowed to heal and integrate with the bone over several months (osseointegration).

A remarkable transformation
Before: The visible gap significantly affected the patient's smile and oral functionality.

The recommended treatment
For individuals with similar dental issues, multiple tooth implants are recommended as an effective solution. They offer durability, improved oral health, and a natural appearance, making them an ideal choice for long-term restoration.
Multiple dental implants were strategically placed to replace the missing teeth. This involved surgical insertion of titanium posts into the jawbone, followed by the attachment of custom-designed crowns that matched the natural teeth in color and shape.
A whole new smile
The implants provide a natural-looking, complete smile and restore full functionality. The patient reported a significant improvement in both chewing ability and self-esteem.

The patient presented with concerns about the appearance of their smile, including unevenly shaped teeth, discoloration, and minor misalignments. They desired a solution to achieve a brighter, more harmonious smile.
Upon examination, the patient’s teeth showed discoloration resistant to whitening treatments, mild crowding, and uneven edges. Dental veneers were recommended as the ideal solution to address all aesthetic concerns comprehensively.

Crown Lengthening Cases
Crown Lengthening for an Enhanced Smile
Patient concern
The patient presented with a concern about the appearance of a "gummy smile," where excess gum tissue covered a significant portion of the teeth, affecting their overall smile aesthetics.
Clinical examination revealed excessive gingival tissue covering the crown of the teeth, making the teeth appear shorter than their actual length. This condition was diagnosed as requiring crown lengthening to achieve a balanced smile.
The recommended treatment
- Reshape and remove the excess gum tissue.
- Expose more of the tooth structure to create a proportionate tooth-to-gum ratio.
- Enhance the aesthetics of the patient’s smile.
Transformative results
Before: The teeth appear shorter, with the gum line covering much of the crowns.
After: The gum line is elevated to reveal more of the teeth, creating a balanced and harmonious smile.

Crown Lengthening for Improved Dental Proportions
Patient concern
This patient came to us with concerns about short-looking teeth due to excessive gum coverage. The uneven gum line was impacting the overall symmetry and aesthetics of the smile. The aim was to achieve a more balanced appearance by exposing the natural tooth structure.
The recommended treatment
For individuals experiencing similar issues, crown lengthening is recommended as an effective solution to enhance smile aesthetics. It not only improves the visual balance but also contributes to better oral hygiene by allowing easier cleaning of the teeth.
A crown lengthening procedure was performed to carefully reshape the gum tissue, revealing more of the tooth surface. This involved precise removal of excess gum tissue and, if needed, minor contouring of the underlying bone to ensure optimal results.
A positive outcome
As shown in the "after" image, the patient's smile is now more proportionate and aesthetically pleasing, with a well-defined tooth-to-gum ratio. The procedure effectively minimized the appearance of a gummy smile, boosting the patient's confidence.
This case illustrates the significant impact of crown lengthening in refining smile aesthetics. The procedure successfully addressed the patient’s concerns, resulting in a more harmonious and attractive smile.
Gum Grafting Cases
Gum Grafting Transformation
Patient concern
The patient presented with noticeable gum recession, which exposed the roots of the teeth and contributed to increased sensitivity and aesthetic concerns. The goal was to restore the gum line to a healthier position and enhance the patient’s smile.
Procedure
A gum grafting procedure was performed, where tissue was sourced from the palate and grafted onto the affected areas. This technique aimed to cover exposed roots, reduce sensitivity, and improve the overall appearance of the gum line.
Outcome
The "after" image shows a significant improvement. The gum tissue now covers the previously exposed roots, providing a symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing appearance. The patient reported reduced sensitivity and increased confidence in their smile.
