Smile Transformation Stories

Jocelyn

Jocelyn, from the Wellesley–Weston area, came to our clinic concerned about her smile and oral health. She had eight existing crowns that looked opaque and unnatural, ongoing pain in her upper teeth, gum asymmetry, an uneven smile, and crowding on her lower arch. After our signature diagnostic protocols and Digital Smile Design planning, we confirmed that her bite needed improvement to provide both functional stability and the right spaces for optimal esthetics. Her narrow arches and lower crowding were also contributing to gum irritation and making hygiene more difficult.

With a carefully phased plan, we combined alignment, whitening, and porcelain reconstruction to restore both health and beauty to her smile.
