Before

After
By placing dental implants in her upper jaw, the maxillary teeth were easily restored.
Her lower teeth were restored with porcelain fused to metal crowns and a partial denture.
This chapter from Amazing Smiles Through Cosmetic Dentistry explains or demonstrates advanced dental breakdown 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.
