Case Summary:
Jenny, a 35-year-old female patient from the United States, chose to place her trust in International X Dental for a smile makeover. Her selection of our clinic was based on the success cases she found on our website, particularly the transformations achieved with dental veneers.
Before she arrived at International X Dental, Jenny had explored alternatives at other dental clinics. During her previous experiences, she had undergone dental procedures on her central teeth, which exhibited dull crowns and urgent leakage, necessitating immediate replacement.
Challenges and Symptoms:
During the initial diagnosis, Jenny expressed her desire to correct dental misalignment, enhance the aesthetics of her smile, and address issues with her teeth. Problems with the fit of the crowns on her upper central teeth, cavities in molars and premolars, and metal fillings with leakage were identified.
These dental challenges were significant and harmed her dental health, self-esteem, and confidence in smiling.
Treatment Plan:
The treatment Jenny received has had a profound impact on her life. Following a 15-month orthodontic process that extended beyond mere aesthetic improvement, she now boasts a perfectly aligned smile with a radiant whiteness, reflecting her optimal dental health and restoring her confidence to smile freely and without reservation.
This orthodontic process set the stage for a dental cosmetology intervention completed in four days. The result is a new smile that enhances her appearance and underscores her dental health and emotional well-being.
The treatment plan focused on smile design for eight units in her upper teeth and the restoration of molars with crowns due to worn-out metal fillings. While the initial proposal included a complete transformation, it was adjusted to align with Jenny’s budget.
Proposed Options:
Initially, a complete smile design for a total dental enhancement was considered. However, a partial design for the central and upper lateral teeth was chosen due to budget considerations. This allowed for a balance between aesthetics and Jenny’s budget.
Tools Used:
Self-Ligating Orthodontics:
We utilized state-of-the-art self-ligating orthodontics. This technology enables more efficient and comfortable tooth movement. Unlike traditional braces, self-ligating brackets require fewer adjustments, meaning less discomfort for the patient. Furthermore, their aesthetic design minimizes the impact on the patient’s appearance during treatment.
Root Canals:
Root canals are procedures used to treat and save damaged or infected teeth. In Jenny’s case, root canals were performed on the teeth necessary to preserve her dental health. This process involves the removal of damaged pulp and the disinfection and sealing the tooth, effectively allowing for its preservation.
Digital Scanning:
Digital scanning allowed for detailed and precise images of Jenny’s mouth and teeth. This three-dimensional technology provided a comprehensive representation of her dental anatomy, which was essential in the planning and execution of her treatment. Additionally, patient comfort was increased, as traditional, uncomfortable molds were not required.
CAD CAM Digital Software:
CAD CAM (Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Manufacturing) software was crucial in designing Jenny’s veneers and crowns. With this tool, we could plan and customize each dental restoration precisely and aesthetically. This ensured a perfect fit and a natural appearance in her teeth.
Veneer and Crown Milling Machine:
We used a state-of-the-art milling machine to create veneers and crowns personalized for Jenny. This process is exact and efficient, ensuring the quality and durability of the restorations. The milled veneers and crowns are highly aesthetic and fit perfectly to the patient’s dental anatomy, achieving an exceptional final result.
Restoring Smiles and Lives:
The combination of advanced technology and personalized care played a crucial role in the astonishing success of this case. Thanks to digital scanning, potential flaws in the fit of crowns and veneers were eliminated, minimizing the margin of error in the laboratory. This ensured Jenny could enjoy secure, comfortable, natural crowns and veneers.
