What do you do when your teeth are worn down and you want to improve your smile?
This gentleman had exactly that problem. The usual solution was fairly complex dental work including rebuilding the height of the teeth with crowns.
I was contacted by the dentist (Kostas Papadopoulis in Harrogate) who tackled this major rebuild as the crooked lower teeth were complicating the solution. The most crooked tooth was removed and I fitted a fixed brace to straighten the rest and also to make a bit of space for the new crowns.
This is one of an increasing number of cases I am treating where either braces or crowns on their own would compromise the result and a combination treatment is needed. It took about 10 months of orthdontics. Kostas has almost finished the treatment, I understand that the current crowns are not the final ones, but the result is amazing and the patient is getting used to having a full smile again.
