This patient, a very busy and successful physician, was dissatisfied with his front crowns that were recently placed by another dentist. His stressful career had contributed to his habit of clenching and grinding, as evidenced by worn teeth and failing restorations. The new crowns were uncomfortable to his bite, and he had several complaints about their form.
The solution required a comprehensive approach. In order to make the teeth feel more comfortable, it is sometimes necessary to rebuild the bite entirely. By restoring all of the teeth, we were able to create a handsome, more youthful smile and achieve a more comfortable bite.
