Missing Incisor Teeth Replacement
Congenitally missing incisors is a fairly common anomoly within the area of dental defects that are
congenital in origin.

Our young patient had a history of conventional orthodontics in an attempt to move her teeth closer.
In this particular case orthodontia cannot move teeth into the missing incisor area.

This patient, a mere 14 years old, was committed to having Dr. Halmaghi implement a specialized treatment plan he had created and managed to use her own personal finances to fund the treatment. Our patient's long term goal, as she becomes older, is to have premium dental implants to fill the void.

Encore vs Maryland
The popular treatment of using a Maryland Bridge would create the current cosmetic goal of having a full smile but would also involve significant invasive alteration of adjacent tooth structures... which she did not want.

Dr. Halmaghi's treatment plan incorporated the use of an Encore Bridge which is constructed with a fiber reinforced polymer framework with a porcelain veneer. The absence of metal eliminates the typical metallic "shine through" associated with Maryland Bridges.

The polymer framework (patented unidirectional glass fibers) is completely bondable and therefore does
not require invasivepreparation of abutment teeth.

The cosmetic result exceeded our patient's expectations. She now has the smile she wanted which will endure for years without the possibility of acquiring the "metallic-look" that is commonplace with ordinary bridgework.

There are indeed alternatives to even the most standard of treatment plans. With today's advancements in dental technologies and materials, Dr. Halmaghi is able to create a choice of treatment plans to meet just about any type of unique need related to genetic abnormalities in dentition for his patients.

Dramatic Smile Transformation
Meet Larry. He had a tough dental problem, as you can readily see in the photo here.
Larry wanted some new teeth and of course a smile so gorgeous that he wouldn't ever want to hide it.

Although certain budgetary constraints existed, Dr. Halmaghi was able to develop a treatment plan that was financially feasible and produced results that were very dramatic.

This particular solution included a 4 unit Bridge along with one crown.

As you can see in the above photo, Larry obtained the results he was looking for. A great looking smile, renewed confidence and improved dental function that didn't break the bank!

Let us show you the many ways we can give you a vibrant, youthful, attractive smile that everyone will notice!

Extensive Bridgework with Adjunctive TMJ Treatment

Dealing with Compound Dental Issues Sometimes Mother Nature is not kind to all of us. This lovely patient complained about her teeth her entire life. Her overbite and years of neglect had caused serious problems to her oral health. She had daily headaches and jaw pain. It took us several months to treat her basic dental needs: gum disease, cavities, infected roots, etc. We did not make any referrals to specialists as all of her care was handled in our office, minimizing patient expenses and number of visits. Before Bridgework After Bridgework Treating TMJ Problems Soon after, a 14 unit fixed bridge was placed on her upper jaw. This bridge was fabricated as one unit in order to provide stability to her weak teeth and give us a strong foundation for treating her TMJ problems. It was necessary to "solder" all of her upper teeth together to give us the required strength and stability. The cosmetic result was very good as you can see in the close-up photos. The teeth are actually made as a one-piece bridge, even though they appear to be individualized. TMJ STABILIZATION AND OCCLUSAL REHABILITATION This final step of the puzzle was accomplished by fabricating 2 Bridges on her lower jaw in order to provide the proper jaw to jaw relationship and eliminate the TMJ and jaw pain that she was experiencing since childhood. She was completely pain free within 2 months of finishing treatment. Notice how we fabricated the upper jaw work. This is necessary in order to provide proper foundation for the lower jaw, which uses the upper jaw as guidance and control for its function. Lack of upper jaw guidance is responsible for a majority of facial pain, including migraines and headaches! Proper reconstructive work requires in-depth investigation and diagnosis of all jaw and facial components. Our advanced Neuromuscular program encompasses a variety of techniques required to properly balance dental work with a person's muscles, jaws, ligaments, nerves, and other structures in order to provide the most harmonious relationship for proper function.
