Gillian came to us feeling very self-conscious about her smile. She often found herself hiding her teeth and avoiding smiling altogether. During her consultation, we discovered that she had lost her back teeth over time, which meant her front teeth were taking on more force than they were designed to. This had led to significant wear of her front teeth and changes in how she felt about her appearance.
Our approach was to restore her bite in a way that gave her both comfort and confidence. We began by replacing the missing back teeth with a removable denture to support her bite properly. Once her bite was stabilised, we restored her front teeth using composite veneers to rebuild the shape, form, and harmony of her smile. These restorations were carried out using the injection moulding technique, which allows us to create natural, minimally invasive improvements while still having the flexibility to make adjustments as she adapts to her new smile.
In the future, Gillian may choose to replace the removable denture with dental implants. We believe in giving patients time to settle into their new bite before making more permanent decisions, ensuring long-term comfort and stability.
