Kate’s Results

Kate’s* teeth served as a constant reminder of her battle with bulimia. After overcoming the debilitating eating disorder, she wanted her mouth to reflect her healthier lifestyle and brighter future. Due to the effects of acid erosion, Kate’s teeth needed to be restored and protected.

Solution

Prior to our consultation, Kate had been told that all her teeth needed crowns. At her young age, crowns would have compromised the strength of any remaining tooth structure. My conservative approach used resin restoration to protect her exposed teeth. This was one component of a more comprehensive treatment plan.

Outcome

The treatment enabled Kate to keep her teeth safe and avoid root canal therapy while we completed her aesthetic dental work. We erased the reminder of her struggle with bulimia and Kate was able to pursue her goals of improving her bite and smile.
