Face Lift Dentistry ® - Beyond a Full Mouth Reconstruction
Bite Collapse and Anti-Aging Dentistry
His upper teeth were worn down so badly that they were not very visible when he smiled. When he would speak his upper teeth did not show at all and this is typical of patients in their 50's, 60's and 70's. The bottom line is that younger people show upper teeth when they speak and older people show lower teeth when they speak. For this patient even when his upper teeth did show they were worn down flat, chipped and yellow.
He had suffered a full bite collapse and he needed a dentist that could go beyond a full mouth reconstruction. He knew that his family dentist could not give him the care that he needed so he started looking for the best dentist in Los Angeles. One of his children told us that he actually found Dr. Muslin on the internet after searching for the best cosmetic dentist. Dr. Muslin was honored with "LA's Best" cosmetic dentist award in 2008, 2009, and 2010.


At his consultation it was clear that his bite was worn down and out of balance. He was way over-closing causing his chin to stick out in profile. His teeth were no longer supporting his face and soft tissue so his upper lip appeared sunken into his mouth. His upper teeth were completely hidden when he spoke and barely visible when he smiled. All of this was making him look much older than his actual age.
Dramatic Profile Improvements

His profile looks so much better because his bite is supporting his lips and his jaw is positioned ideally for his health. Even the fine lines around his eye are minimized.

Face Lift Dentistry ® was the best treatment plan that could go beyond a full mouth reconstruction to achieve results for his entire face. Typical bite reconstructions do not improve your jaw position so most patients do not see improvements to their profile or facial proportions. Dr. Muslin's treatment non-surgically helps your jaw position while reconstructing your bite in one coordinated plan. While this patient needed a bite reconstruction, it was Face Lift Dentistry ® that improved his upper lip and jaw position making him look 10 years younger.
His profile is dramatically improved because his jaw is now positioned ideally, his teeth are supporting his lips, and the overall length of his face has been restored. In his profile view you will see a significant reduction in the wrinkles around his eyes in his after photo. Now that his jaw and teeth are supporting the soft tissue of his face, all of the fine lines are minimized and smoothed.
The entire treatment was completed quickly without any days off from work and his entire face saw great results.
