John’s case was a very common scenario caused by age-related wear and tear. Over time, his teeth had begun to crack near the gumline, shift slightly, and lose their youthful brightness. He also experienced gum recession and an uneven bite, which created disharmony during chewing. These issues not only affected the look of his smile, but also led to discomfort and increased stress on his teeth and jaw joints.
At Sapphire Smiles, every smile makeover begins with world-class planning and artistry. Dr. Antoun and his expert team gathered high-resolution images, digital scans, and facial measurements to design a smile that fits seamlessly with John’s features. Dr. Antoun considers facial midline, skin tone, cheek structure, and overall balance before any work begins, ensuring results that enhance both appearance and comfort.
John’s treatment began with gum grafting to cover exposed root surfaces on his left side, creating symmetry between both sides of his smile. Once this foundation was restored, Dr. Antoun placed 22 porcelain veneers in a conservative, non-surgical approach. These veneers opened John’s bite and created a stable vertical dimension, allowing him to eat comfortably again while delivering an anti-aging transformation with minimal drilling.
