Face Lift

Face Lift Dentistry - Neuromuscular and Reconstructive Dentistry

As people age, normal wear and tear on our natural teeth slowly but surely reduces the height of our normal bite. This is a normal phenomenon.... regardless of how well established our oral health habits are.

One of the most amazing recent advancements in dentistry, a facelift, is a revolutionary procedure, performed with computer technology. Sagging jowls, collapsed faces, skin crevices, muscle pain and TMJ pain can result from worn teeth and malpositioned jaws. By correctly aligning the bite and then creating beautiful restorations, we help our patients to achieve the most functional and beautiful smile they have always dreamt of. Most of our patients are free from head and neck pain for the first time in years. It's amazing how much better the quality of life is for a person who has experienced what the forefront of dentistry has to offer.

Teeth wear, collapsed bite and facial shortening can be extremely frustrating to most patients; our patients learn that one's smile and face can be transformed with stunning and life changing results.

            
You can observe how the decreased lip space and forshortened lower face that adds wrinkles can creates an older appearance for most patients. (photo on the right, pre-treatment)

We've seen our patients' lives change dramatically after neuromuscular, aesthetic and facelift dentistry. They gain the renewed confidence and a freedom to smile again.

 
For all our facelift dental patients, we conduct an intensive study with the help of an articulator (device for assessing bite occlusal relationships) to recreate a normal bite.


Digital imaging and computer aided design techniques, coupled with reconstructive dentistry components through 3I Innovations Dental Labs produced the solution of permanently implanting new teeth for the patient.

The post treatment photos demonstrate an excellent interocclusal relationship and full support  for the upper lip, enabling the normal lip movement when smiling. We can also observe a very broad smile with lots of teeth showing and an extremely natural curvature of the smile line. 

Most of our patients are very very happy with the outcome: they are able to regain their normal bite, can eat just about anything they want now, can smile and speak with confidence. To say the difference between the before and after picture is easy to see... is an understatement. The impact of change and improvement has gone way beyond just getting new teeth.

Facelift dentistry for denture wearers.

Hating to wear poor fitting or improperly designed dentures is nothing unusual. Some denture wearers eventually elect not to wear dentures .... and wrestle with the difficulties of being endentulous, or toothless.

Meet our patient here in the adjacent photo. He hated his dentures. He simply couldn't get used to wearing his upper plate.Through the years of this preference to be toothless, our patient's bite collapsed (normal event) which has the unattractive result of making anyone appear older than their actual age. Other structural changes occur also which are not helpful for maintaining good oral health.

At the time our patient presented in our office, he was excited to learn that with today's advanced technologies and treatments, he could solve her problem with treatments that would give him the cure he always wanted - new teeth without having to take them out every night.
