Steve, moved to the area and was referred to Innovative Dental and Orthodontics by one of our Patients. Steve had experienced a devastating dental bridge failure after extensive dental work and the bridges were already coming loose.
We addressed Steve's goals to regain his smile, eat comfortably, and restore his self-confidence. Here we showcase the complexity of the case, including the strategic placement of dental implants and the final outcome.
When Dr Sejal saw her for a consultation, she wanted to address her spacing with the goal of improving her smile and was wondering if veneers were an option. In addition to these concerns, she also had few missing teeth, which led to those overall spaces. After reviewing her options, she agreed to move forward with orthodontic treatment first to idealize the space prior to replacing the two missing teeth by prosthodontists. This was the most conservative approach without altering her beautiful, existing, healthy teeth.
