Angi’s first priority was getting out of pain, so we focused initially on TMJ splint therapy followed by equilibrating her bite. After relieving her TMJ related symptoms and establishing a healthy bite we were able to concentrate on restoring health to the back teeth with a root canal treatment and crown and bridge procedures on various teeth.

The foundation had been laid for a healthy oral environment, so then it was time to address her cosmetic concerns. Options were discussed and it was determined that the most predictable and esthetically preferred outcome would best be accomplished with porcelain veneers. Five teeth received Empress Porcelain veneers, one tooth received an all-porcelain crown, and a three-unit bridge was later replaced to finish the esthetic makeover.

Not only is Angi enjoying a healthier mouth now, but she is also smiling a whole lot more these days!
