How to pictures: Oral rehabilitation dental reconstruction smile makeover. This Wall Street executive suffered from dental fear phobia. Total treatment time was about nine hours in two visits during one business week: Monday (four hours) and Friday (five hours). This patient hid his dental condition for over a ten years by hiding his smile. In the first row of photos, note that the teeth bite occlusion was over-closed due to a prior history of a bulimia eating disorder, now controlled, and a current teeth grinding habit. An Oral Surgery consultation with panoramic x-ray (second row) was performed prior to treatment to evaluate opening the dental bite. The third row shows x-rays taken after the Endodontist completed eight root canal treatments on the first day on teeth #'s: 6 - 11 and 14, 15. The fourth row shows the dental lab-processed 11 teeth provisional temporary dental bridge and the cast gold post and cores (with Kaitlyn loops) for the root canal treated teeth. The fifth row shows the cast gold post and cores after being placed with dental cement. The sixth row shows the lab-processed temporary teeth bridge in place after the Oral Surgeon extracted teeth #'s: 3 - 5 and 12, crown lengthening gum surgery was performed on teeth #'s: 6 - 11, and a distal wedge was performed on #15. The patient will have a final porcelain-metal teeth bridge - attached dental crowns - made after the gums heal. Dental implants may also be placed in the upper right posterior. A bite plate night guard is also necessary to try to mitigate the force of teeth clenching grinding. Referral for pharmacological management of anxiety is also worthwhile.
