Caitlin is passionate about health and wellness, and has always maintained excellent General Dentistry. As part of her health regimen, Caitlin drank glasses of lemon water throughout the day. At the time she didn’t know that this seemingly healthy habit was harming her smile.
Many of us don’t know that lemon water can have damaging effects on teeth. In Caitlin’s case, acid from the lemon was causing erosion to the back of her upper front teeth. These teeth were becoming worn and thin, and starting to chip.
Caitlin takes her health seriously. She looked to Dr. Pasha for help.
Dr. Pasha began by collecting detailed records of Caitlin’s mouth, including moulds of her teeth. After a full assessment, Dr Pasha created a 3-dimensional smile design that addressed the function and aesthetics of Caitlin’s new smile.
Dr. Pasha presented and explained the ideal shape and form of Caitlin’s teeth to help her understand and visualize the end goal. She approved the design and Dr. Pasha developed her mock up.
CaitlIn’s smile mock up let her “test drive” her new smile before the final veneers were crafted. Once she saw her new smile in place, she was thrilled, and couldn’t wait to get started.
Caitlin’s smile makeover required a gum lift and the placement of temporary veneers while her teeth were being treated. After Caitlyn approved the temporary veneers her final veneers were put into production.
Like earlier in the process, Caitlin had the opportunity to try her veneers prior to final placement. This ensured that she was pleased with the look and feel. After approval Dr. Pasha bonded the final veneers in place.
A few years since her treatment, Caitlin’s veneers are still in excellent shape. She continues to drink water throughout the day as part of her health routine, but after her recent experience with acid erosion, she keeps the lemon on the side!
