Ernie's Story: Dental Crowns and Veneers
Cosmetic Dental Treatment
My Experience with Dental Crowns and Veneers
All of my life I had had spaces between my teeth and had difficulty pronouncing some words. My teeth had worn down quite a bit because I am in my early sixties. I have all of my teeth including my wisdom teeth and I was not having any pain. I was pleased with the work Dr. Hemingway had done improving my wife's smile so I had a consultation with him. He explained that I was suffering from "bite collapse" due to excessive wear on my teeth but that he could use Neuromuscular Dental Technology to find my proper bite position. He said the muscles that support my lower jaw have a comfortable preferable position that could be found and then the teeth could be lengthened and contoured to support my jaw in that position. We found that my comfortable muscle position allowed my worn down teeth to be lengthened a total of 9 millimeters. Dr. Hemingway made a computer simulation of me with a new smile and made a wax mock-up of my teeth on models to show me how handsome my teeth could be in the new position. I was excited about the changes. I had the total treatment completed: all 32 of my teeth were fixed to the new jaw position. From my before and after pictures you can see a major difference in my smile: the gaps are closed, my teeth are longer, lighter and younger looking. My smile is relaxed and comfortable. I am no longer self-conscious about smiling. People tell me I look 10 years younger. The difficulty I was having with word pronunciation is gone. Thank you Dr. Hemingway for the exceptional dental care you have provided for me.
