Smile Transformation Stories

John

John, a successful executive, first underwent a full upper arch porcelain reconstruction with Dr. Cardenas more than 15 years ago at her former Boston location. His upper arch has remained strong and stable over time, a true testament to the longevity of our protocols. When Dr. Cardenas opened her Wellesley practice, John followed her care and decided it was finally time to address his lower arch.

After a comprehensive examination and our signature diagnostic protocols, we developed a treatment plan to correct years of heavy grinding that had caused significant wear, shortened teeth, and multiple discolored repairs. The goal was to restore proper function and esthetics by stabilizing and opening his bite through a full lower arch porcelain reconstruction.
