Bite Collapse ®

Our teeth wear down as a natural aging process.  As the teeth get shorter, our faces also shorten.  The wear on the teeth generally contributes to a bad bite.  Bad bites result in TMJ pain, headaches, sore jaws and many other problems.
Extreme Dental Makeover ®

Extreme makeovers are not good enough for most of today’s patients.  They want perfection instead of just an improvement.  Our patients are able to decide the style of their teeth because just about all of us have seen big fake white teeth that do not look natural.

John - Smile Makeover and Mouth Reconstruction

"I Can Not See My Upper Teeth. It Looks Like My Upper Teeth are Missing!"

John had a mouth reconstruction done well over a period of many years. But, many of his crowns were in his mouth for over 20 years and it was time to begin a replacement process. He had crowns on his upper teeth and his lower teeth were worn down with years of wear. He went to the dentist regularly and took good care of himself. Yet, it was difficult for him to show upper teeth during normal function or in photographs.

Is What Happened to John Normal?

Normal becomes a difficult word to use, but many people in their fifties, sixties and seventies have significantly worn down their teeth. As the teeth wear down, the face begins to collapse, as there is not enough tooth structure to support the face. Face length and lip support are the result of the height of the bite. Short bites yield to short faces and thin lips. As the bite is lengthened, the facial support is improved and the patient looks younger and more vibrant.

Grand Children can be Brutal!

Grandpa, where are your teeth? Grandpa, do you have teeth? Grandpa, why are your teeth so yellow? Yes, sometimes, grand children can be brutally honest when they see an aging face. John, is not the “Hollywood type of person” as he is concerned with his health, but he doesn’t’ want to look like an old man before his time. John discussed his options with Dr. Sam Muslin, as he wanted to know if his health and appearance could be achieved while replacing the necessary crowns.

Bite Stress and Facial Stress

Even though the teeth are healthy, the bite can contribute to facial, neck and lower back symptoms. Stress reduction is the key to a healthy life and when the teeth are worn down, stress can be a factor. John doesn’t know he has a lot of stress in his face but after the completion of his treatment, John has had his health improved significantly. His jaw is more comfortable, his health is ideal and he has a natural looking face and a younger appearance.

Bite Reconstruction vs Mouth Reconstruction

Both a bite reconstruction and a mouth reconstruction are essentially the same thing with just a different emphasis. The jaw is generally pushed back towards the ears called centric relation and the bite is idealized. Generally, the face is not addressed and the height of the bite is not increased. The focus is the reconstruction of the teeth and not the face.

Face Lift Dentistry ®

With Face Lift Dentistry we are trying to achieve the ultimate jaw position, facial support, clear speech and also perfect the dynamics of occlusion. The entire facial structure is improved and the height of the bite is lifted, the lips are supported and the plane of the bite is changed for total functional harmony. The patient is revitalized in every dimension and his health is significantly improved.

Sam Muslin DDS sincerely thanks John for giving him permission to show the results of his work, and emphasizes that the photos are untouched and unaltered. For those patients interested in achieving results that are life style enhancing, call for an appointment.
