Diagnosis and Treatment Plan
After a thorough examination, we diagnosed Rogelio with advanced periodontal disease. His condition required a multi-phase approach to stabilize the health of his gums and teeth, and ultimately, restore the aesthetics of his smile.
Our treatment plan at Clove Dental included the following steps:
- Periodontal Treatment:
- Scaling and root planing to clean below the gum line and remove bacteria.
- Laser treatment to disinfect and promote healing in the affected gum tissues.
- Lower Front Teeth (Teeth #22 to #27):
- Due to the severity of damage, his lower front teeth were extracted.
- A fixed dental bridge was placed from teeth #22 to #27 to replace the missing teeth, improving his ability to chew and enhancing his overall appearance.
- Upper Front Teeth:
Four porcelain veneers were bonded to his upper front teeth, closing the gaps and restoring the fractured and worn-out teeth. This gave Rogelio a more cohesive and aesthetically pleasing smile.
The Results
The transformation was remarkable. Rogelio’s smile makeover not only improved his appearance but also his oral functionality. The fixed dental bridge restored his ability to chew properly, while the porcelain veneers gave him a brighter, more uniform smile.
Key Improvements:
- Stabilized gum health through periodontal treatment.
- Enhanced functionality with the lower fixed bridge, improving chewing capacity.
- Aesthetic enhancement of the upper front teeth with porcelain veneers, closing gaps and giving a uniform, natural-looking smile.
