Asema, from Dover, MA, came to our Wellesley clinic desperate to fix a failing bridge, missing front teeth, and ongoing gum issues that were hurting her comfort and confidence. She sought not just beauty, but long-term health and a smile that looked natural.
When Asema first visited us, she was suffering from a defective upper anterior bridge replacing both lateral incisors, severe gum inflammation and bleeding, caries under the ill-fitting bridge, and a generalized chronic periodontal problem.
Her chief complaints were poor aesthetics, discomfort, lack of confidence, and persistent gum bleeding.
At our Wellesley Smile Design Clinic — the first certified Smile Design Clinic in the U.S., with 25+ years of experience and an in-house Master Ceramist — we began by taking full diagnostic records and creating a digital smile design.
We then treated her gum disease comprehensively with scaling and root planing, preventive therapy, and home care, followed by re-evaluation.
Once her gums were stable, we used our facially guided design protocols to plan and deliver three hand-layered porcelain veneers to correct shape and shade discrepancies, along with a custom three-unit porcelain bridge to replace her missing lateral incisors.
The result is a beautifully natural, balanced smile: her front teeth now match in proportion, shade, and contour, her gums are healthy and inflammation-free, and she smiles with confidence — all achieved through minimally invasive, high-quality, predictable cosmetic dentistry.
If you’re struggling with old dental work, missing teeth, or gum issues that affect your smile and confidence, our Wellesley team can help. Schedule a consultation today and experience the difference of world-class smile design with long-term, natural results.
