At our Anchorage dental office, we are committed to transforming lives by restoring smiles and improving oral function. That’s why we’d like to introduce you to Crawford, one of our valued patients. Crawford experienced a remarkable journey that not only enhanced his ability to chew but also gave him a brighter, more confident smile.
Reason for Treatment
When Crawford first came to see us, he was missing teeth. This, in turn, compromised his ability to chew food effectively, impacting his daily life and overall comfort. He needed a comprehensive solution to improve his bite and function while also restoring confidence in his smile.
Treatment Path
To begin his journey, Crawford underwent orthotic therapy to determine his ideal, healthy, functional bite position. Once this position was identified, we moved forward with a complete full-mouth reconstruction under IV sedation to ensure his comfort throughout the process.
The treatment included:
- Placement of a dental implant to restore the missing tooth.
- Placement of crowns and bridges on both upper and lower teeth to create a balanced, functional bite.
- Porcelain veneers as part of a smile makeover for a seamless, natural look.
Each step of the process was carefully planned and executed to ensure optimal results and patient satisfaction.
Advanced Technology
We used cutting-edge dental technology to deliver precise and efficient care for Crawford’s case:
- CBCT imaging for detailed diagnostics and treatment planning.
- K7 and TENS systems to accurately assess and achieve ideal jaw alignment.
- CEREC and Primescan technology to design and create custom crowns and veneers with precision.
- T-Scan to ensure Crawford’s bite was perfectly balanced and functional.
These tools played an integral role in ensuring his treatment was successful and comfortable.
Treatment Outcome
The results of Crawford’s full-mouth reconstruction were life-changing. He now enjoys chewing and eating comfortably, and his new, bright smile has boosted his confidence. His treatment journey is a powerful example of how advanced dental care can restore both function and aesthetics.
