Smile Transformation Stories

Lauren

Lauren came to us concerned about years of clenching and grinding that had left her teeth worn, translucent, gray, and beginning to chip. She also struggled with enamel thinning, lower crowding, and upper lateral incisors that appeared undersized next to her front teeth. After a thorough evaluation, we confirmed that her bite and tooth proportions required a carefully staged plan to restore both function and esthetics.

Lauren's Smile Transformation Story

Treatment Highlights

  • Our Signature Digital Smile Design protocol with comprehensive functional analysis
  • Facially guided pre-cosmetic Invisalign® (one of our signature treatments) to align teeth and stabilize the bite before final aesthetics — completed in just 4 months
  • Professional in-office whitening + customized at-home system
  • Eight (8) minimally invasive porcelain veneers — one of our signature treatments — crafted by our in-house Master Ceramist
  • Periodic therapeutic neuromodulator injections in the masseter muscles to relieve muscle tension and symptoms from heavy clenching
  • Clear retainers and back-up duplicates to safeguard porcelain and prevent relapse
  • Periodic retainer and bite checks at every hygiene visit
  • Maintenance: Airflow® hygiene visits and comprehensive exams every four months

Her Result
Today, Lauren’s smile is brighter, balanced, and strong. By correcting proportions, relieving muscle tension, and rebuilding worn, chipped enamel with porcelain veneers, we created a natural, confident smile designed to last.
