Susan's Smile Makeover
Rebuilding a Beautiful Smile with Veneers, Crowns, and a Dental Bridge
Susan had spent years living with worn teeth, missing teeth, and an aging smile that no longer reflected how vibrant she felt. Eating had become more difficult, older restorations were failing, and she found herself smiling less in photos.
She wanted more than cosmetic improvements—she wanted a smile that looked beautiful, functioned properly, and would last for years.
After a comprehensive evaluation, Dr. Brad Mouritsen developed a personalized treatment plan to restore both the appearance and health of her smile.
The Clinical Challenge
When Susan visited Mouritsen Dental Studio, she was experiencing:
-
Severely worn and aging teeth
-
A missing tooth affecting her smile and bite
-
Old dental work that no longer matched
-
Uneven tooth size and shape
-
A smile that made her appear older than she felt
The goal wasn't simply to make Susan's teeth whiter—it was to rebuild a healthy, balanced smile that looked completely natural.
The Treatment Plan
To achieve a seamless result, Dr. Mouritsen combined several restorative and cosmetic procedures:
✓ 6 Porcelain Veneers
✓ 5 All-Ceramic Crowns
✓ 1 Custom Dental Bridge
✓ Comprehensive Smile Design
✓ Completed in Just 3 Visits
Every restoration was carefully designed to match Susan's facial features, bite, and natural tooth proportions for a smile that feels as good as it looks.
Why This Combination?
No two smile makeovers are alike.
Some teeth only require thin porcelain veneers to improve color and shape. Others need full ceramic crowns because of wear, fractures, or large existing fillings. Replacing a missing tooth required a custom-crafted dental bridge that blended seamlessly with the surrounding teeth.
By combining these treatments into one coordinated smile design, Dr. Mouritsen was able to create a result where every tooth works together naturally.
Could You Benefit from a Smile Makeover?
You may be an excellent candidate if you have:
-
Missing teeth
-
Worn or broken teeth
-
Old crowns or dental work
-
Teeth that are stained or discolored
-
Uneven spacing or shape
-
A smile that no longer reflects how you feel
-
Whether your needs are primarily cosmetic or require more extensive restorative treatment, your treatment plan should be customized specifically for you—not copied from someone else.
