Results and Patient Experience
Before and After Gallery
View natural-looking cosmetic improvements and functional bite changes that support comfort and confidence.
This case shows how a bad bite had caused worn teeth, gum disease, and a crooked and aged smile. Rather than just fix the teeth, Dr. Konig aligned his jaw and facial muscles first then corrected the bite and smile, achieving a long-term stable bite and healthy transformative smile makeover!
This lady had been advised she needed jaw surgery to correct her underbite that was damaging her teeth, impeding her speech, and was unesthetic and had a lack of upper lip support. With advanced non-surgical jaw realignment, we were able to correct all these issues and give a her healthy and beautiful smile.
Treatment consisted 3 conservative porcelain veneers and a new ceramic crown to replace the existing crown that was unsightly. We had the patient whiten his teeth prior to treatment so as to design the veneers a more attractive shade. The veneers and crown were mapped to artistically blend in with his natural teeth. Note the layers of shading and translucence along with striations in the veneers.
This gentleman had TMJ pain and headaches and a deep overbite with severe crowding. His misaligned jaws were contributing to these issues. Non-surgical overbite treatment were utilized to correct and eliminate the TMJ problems and create a healthy smile and improve his facial esthetics, essentially a non-surgical facelift.
Comprehensive esthetics: gum lift for less gummy smile, wider smile, missing tooth and smile line that follows the lips … Konig Smile Designs. More than just cosmetic dentistry.
Overbite causing worn and broken teeth. Non-surgical overbite correction and a beautiful smile.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a cosmetic dentist and a general dentist?
A cosmetic dentist focuses on appearance and function together. Training centers on smile design, materials, and bite harmony so results look natural and feel comfortable in daily life.
Can cosmetic dentistry and TMJ care be planned together?
Yes. Many patients see improvements in comfort and esthetics at the same time. Planning is guided by diagnostics so each phase supports both appearance and function.
How do I know if my jaw pain is related to TMJ?
Common signs include jaw soreness, headaches, clicking, or limited opening. A focused exam with bite analysis can confirm the cause and outline the best next steps.
Do you offer nonsurgical treatment for TMJ?
Yes. We begin with conservative therapies such as a custom orthotic, bite refinements, myofunctional therapy, and home care coaching. Surgery is considered only when appropriate after evaluation.
How long does a smile makeover take?
Most plans are completed over several visits. Timelines depend on goals and case complexity. After your consultation, you will receive a clear sequence and estimated time frame.
Are veneers the best option for crooked teeth?
Sometimes. Minor alignment and shape changes can be managed with veneers or bonding. For larger movements, we may recommend clear aligners first, then finish with conservative esthetics if needed.
Will TMJ treatment change how my teeth look?
TMJ therapy focuses on comfort and function. If your bite or tooth wear needs restorative support, we will review options that can also improve appearance.
Do you treat patients from across Houston?
Yes. Many patients visit us from River Oaks, Memorial, The Heights, West University, Galleria, Midtown, and Bellaire.
