Smile MakeoverTM

Teeth In An Hour

Pre-treatment Smile
Post Teeth In An HourTM Smile

Radical makeovers of our bodies or our environments have become a fixture of the new century. But many factors can influence any individual's decision to seek out and embrace this dramatic form of self-improvement. In the following case study, the patient had reached mid-life before a dental crisis started him down the path to a profound physical transformation.

For most of his life, Bill had avoided any significant dental problems. He'd never endured chronic tooth pain or the embarrassment of discolored or unsightly teeth; he'd never undergone lengthy treatment.

He did have physical problems, however, including a heart murmur and high blood pressure. Thirty years of smoking more than a pack of cigarettes each day had also compromised his cardiovascular system. At 53, Bill finally underwent a triple-bypass surgery, after which his doctor had prescribed a blood thinner. According to Bill, "the prescribed medications caused a loosening of his teeth," with ensuing bone loss and dental abscesses. As Bill's ability to chew foods deteriorated. he sought advice.

Teeth In An HourTM uses pre-surgical three-dimensional computer planning allowing fabrication in advance of a highly precise final restoration.
Patient has a very active lifestyle. He is pictured here prior to Teeth In An HourTM surgery with his "Catch of the Day."
