Ethan had used mouth guards to minimize his discomfort and to control the damage to his teeth caused by his teeth grinding. The extent of his dental breakdown was fairly significant causing enamel loss and exposing the underlying dentin. Ethan was not only concerned about how his teeth looked but was also experiencing quite bit of sensitivity from hot and cold due to his enamel and dentin loss. The solution was full-mouth reconstruction for Ethan which included vertically opening his bite by minimally prepared crowns. We created a smile that was both natural and aesthetically pleasing, and made it possible for him to be comfortable enjoying his food, no matter the temperature. Notice how completely natural his new smile looks; it is as if he was born with it. That is what we call improved quality of life.
