Joanne got a life changing smile transformation with cosmetic dentistry, as is very obvious from the before and after photos of her smile. "My daughter said that my new teeth make me look twenty years younger," she said.
Joanne from Mission Viejo was a smoker and had been for over forty years. Her smoking had worsened her gum disease, causing the teeth around her bone to deteriorate, her gums recede and exposing the roots of her teeth. It was very obvious to Joanne that her smoking had also discolored her teeth pretty bad, especially around the roots. On top of all of this Joanne had a significant amount of decay and was already missing several teeth. She came to our cosmetic dental practice to “get her teeth fixed.”
It was important for us to find out why she was finally motivated enough to do something about her teeth. Joanne said, “It’s because I just had to have another tooth pulled, several more are getting looser and I don’t want to end up getting false teeth like my parents!”
We took some photos of her teeth so that we could discuss each of them, including all treatment options. Joanne was devastated! “I know my smile looks bad but I never realized how bad I have let my teeth get,” she said. “Is there anything you can do for me to help prevent dentures?”
After thoroughly examining Joanne’s teeth we actually had the answer that Joanne wanted to hear. “Yes, we can treat your gum disease and restore your smile. It’s a lot of work, but it can be done,” we assured her.
Skipping all the details of her treatment, we did do full mouth reconstruction for Joanne with multiple porcelain crowns and three porcelain bridges. As is very evident from the before and after photos, the results we achieved for her were amazing. Undeniably, Joanne got an unforgettable life changing smile transformation with cosmetic dentistry! In her own words, “My daughter said that my new teeth make me look twenty years younger.”
