A Complete Smile Transformation: Health Meets Confidence

By October 8, 2024October 14th, 2024No Comments

At Cary Family Dental, we know that a great smile is about more than just appearance—it’s about feeling confident in the health and strength of your teeth, too. Recently, we had the pleasure of helping a patient who wanted to improve her smile’s esthetic and functional aspects.

She came to us with concerns about the shape, color, and position of her teeth. Like many of our patients, she wanted her smile to reflect her confidence, but she also wanted to ensure that her teeth and gums were in top shape.

This case was unique in that we took a comprehensive approach, addressing both the longevity of her dental health and the esthetic appearance of her teeth.

Patient’s Concern: Appearance and Health

Our patient didn’t just want a prettier smile—she wanted a healthier one too. She had concerns about the color, shape, and position of her teeth, but equally important to her was making sure her teeth and gums were healthy.

 

The Treatment Plan: Step-by-Step Transformation

Her treatment spanned several years and involved a combination of procedures designed to achieve both esthetic beauty and long-lasting health:

  • Whitening: We started by whitening her teeth, brightening her smile as a foundation for the next steps.
  • Orthodontics: Over the course of 1.5 years, orthodontic treatment was used to align her teeth into the correct position.
  • Crowns and Bridges: Once her teeth were properly aligned, we used crowns and bridges to reshape and rebuild her smile, giving her a natural, polished look.
  • Cavity Repairs and Cleanings: Throughout the process, we made sure to address any cavities and maintain her gum health with regular cleanings.

Patient’s Worries: “Will My New Teeth Look Fake?”

One of her biggest concerns was that her new teeth might look artificial. She wanted to make sure her smile didn’t feel or look “fake.” On the day she received her new teeth, she looked in the mirror and said: “They’re better than I ever expected!” Her smile looked and felt natural, giving her the confidence she’d been searching for.

A Healthier, More Confident Smile

This case was about more than just esthetics—it was about health and confidence. By focusing on both the structure and foundation of her teeth, we were able to provide a smile that not only looked beautiful but was also built to last.
