Many patients have gum recession that has caused unhealthy and damaged teeth. This case shows not every case needs to have full mouth gum grafting for long term health Dr. Konig shows how his smile designs can be utilized to correct the bite and create this beautiful and healthier smile!

In this case, no TMJ symptoms were noted, the bite was off so some minor bite balancing was completed with the porcelain veneers to ensure long term stability. Rather than grind down these teeth to the recession, Dr. Konig added to the worn areas then designed the veneers over this, a much more conservative way to design this treatment. Note how the veneers go to the gumline as opposed to placing them under the gumline.

This smile makeover with advanced porcelain veneer designs reflects how artistry and planning can transform cosmetic dentistry.
