Bite Reconstruction
Years of Dental Neglect
Many patients go by years without worrying about their dental care. Oral health can deteriorate slowly… eventually, the appearance of their teeth becomes less and less attractive and the bite begins to collapse. Bite collapse is the shortening of the bite due to tooth loss and teeth wearing down with age. Many patients experience bite collapse and are totally unaware of the problem because it happened slowly over a period of years.
Bite Collapse and Facial Collapse
Most people (including some dentists) do not realize that the teeth play a major role in your facial dynamics and appearance. The teeth support the length of the face, the lips and the cheeks. When teeth are lost or the bite wears down, the entire face begins to shorten. Look at the shape of this patient’s face in the "before" photo. His face is short and round. The older we get, the shorter, and rounder, our faces become, which is why we look older.
Looking Younger & Feeling Healthier
Patients who are considering cosmetic dental treatment to reverse the signs of aging should begin the process by analyzing their bite. By restoring your bite, you are reestablishing harmony and balance with your jaw joint, which makes you healthier and more comfortable. The improved appearance is an added bonus. The goals of Face Lift Dentistry ® are complete and total optimization of the patients’ health and appearance. Face Lift Dentistry ® is the only dental procedure that can accomplish this; it is a complete bite reconstruction that also affects (and can improve) facial dimensions. It is important to note that bite reconstructions vary widely from dental office to dental office in terms of goals final results. Some bite reconstructions can change your bite without affecting your face.
Tom's Story
His family was encouraging him to get his dental health improved. Tom could not find the right dentist. He did not want to spend hour and hours in the dental chair and months getting the work finished. When he heard of Dr. Muslin while watching TV, he was convinced that he found a dentist with the skills to deliver his care quickly and efficiently. After his treatment was completed, Tom was thrilled. He appreciated how fast and how easy his treatment was completed. His family was very excited about the level of improvement in his health.
