Esther's Journey

This was an exceptionally complex case involving a congenital condition that left her missing multiple teeth. As a result, she had difficulty chewing comfortably and rarely showed her teeth when smiling or speaking. Her upper teeth were hidden behind her lower teeth and completely concealed by her upper lip, making it appear as though she had almost no visible teeth. After years of searching for answers, she had nearly lost hope.

At Sapphire Smiles, complex cases begin with possibility rather than limitations. Dr. Antoun and his multidisciplinary team carefully evaluated every aspect of her smile using advanced imaging, digital smile design, and facial analysis. Instead of recommending unnecessary treatment, they created a highly personalized plan that preserved every healthy tooth possible while designing a smile that complemented her facial features and restored proper function.

Her full mouth reconstruction combined dental implants for the upper arch with conservative porcelain veneers for the lower teeth, allowing each area to receive the treatment it truly required. Many practices would have removed all of her remaining teeth in favor of full-arch implants, but that was never necessary. By combining advanced surgical expertise with world-class cosmetic artistry, Dr. Antoun completed her transformation in fewer than six months and just four appointments, delivering exceptional function while preserving her natural teeth whenever possible.
