Barbara came into the office complaining about facial pain, neck pain, uncomfortable bite, speech that was less than clear and her chin felt like it was being pushed too far back when she would bite her teeth together. The patient did not like her facial profile as her lower jaw and chin looked too small so she decided to have a chin implant over a year earlier. She said it was very painful and did not improve her appearance very much. Barbara had seen Dr. Sam Muslin’s website while looking for the best cosmetic dentist in Los Angeles. The dramatic before and after full-face photos of his work helped her decide that Face Lift Dentistry ® had huge potential for her. As an aspiring actress, Barbara wanted to represent herself at the most favorable level possible so she called and made her appointment.

The Dental Consultation

Barbara explained her problems and concerns to Dr. Sam Muslin and was very hopeful that she could be helped. She had no idea how much Face Lift Dentistry ® would improve her life. Dr. Muslin discussed his goals regarding her care. He explained that her jaw position could be improved and actually could be more comfortable in a more natural position without surgery or loss of work. He also explained that she could achieve whiter teeth, better-balanced teeth, a wider smile, less facial and neck pain and clearer speech all in one dental treatment plan. The best part of all was that Barbara did not have to have her natural teeth ground down. Barbara was excited and ready to start.

The Treatment

In order to test for the best possible jaw position, Dr. Muslin made Barbara a removable appliance that fit to her upper teeth. Her new jaw position and bite could be established and tested for function and comfort. After only 2 days Barbara was so relieved of her facial pain that she called the office and wanted to start treatment immediately. The first visit took only 2 hours and on her second visit a couple of weeks later the incredible results were obvious. Barbara was shocked at how easily the treatment was rendered and she was especially thrilled with results.

Dentistry Improves Speech

Many patients do not understand that clear speech is attainable with teeth that are shaped and angled in harmony with the patient’s lips, tongue and speech patterns. Many people loose clear speech with age because their teeth are too short or the bite is in the wrong position. Deep overbites and uneven edges contribute toward speech that is slurry or lacks clarity. Barbara had no idea that dentistry could improve her speech.

Face Lift Dentistry ® Supports the Face

Facial support and lip support is possible with the best level of dental care. The bite is idealized to improve the patient’s facial profile while the length and angulations of the teeth support the lips and the cheeks. Patients can look years younger with a new revitalized self-image that radiates self-confidence for the rest of their lives.

Every Patient is Different

Face Lift Dentistry ® requires many years of experience in order to develop the optimal level of dental care for the individual parameters and characteristics of each person. The dentists needs to understand the latest in dental technologies, have extensive experience in TMJ problems, three dimensional jaw repositioning ability, and pure artistic talent to develop the patient to the maximum level. With over 30 years of experience, Dr. Sam Muslin has treated patients of all ages and ethnic backgrounds and sincerely thanks these patients for giving him permission to show their faces.

For those potential patients interested in dentistry that optimizes their health and appearance please call for an appointment.
