MISSING MANY TEETH
This patient was missing all her upper teeth and many of her lower teeth.
This prematurely aged her facial features, making her look older than she was.
Notice how the lips cave in and wrinkle.
Before
After
By placing dental implants her mouth was able to be fully restored. Besides improving her ability to chew foods that she missed, her youthful facial features returned.
This chapter from Amazing Smiles Through Cosmetic Dentistry explains or demonstrates missing many teeth as part of Dr. Albert J. Kurpis’s broader cosmetic dentistry approach to improving smile balance, appearance, and confidence.
The right treatment depends on the condition of the teeth, gums, bite, facial balance, smile goals, and a professional examination. Similar-looking smile problems may require different solutions.
Cosmetic dentistry is designed to improve the appearance of the teeth and smile. For many patients, a more balanced and attractive smile can also improve confidence in social, personal, and professional situations.
