20 years. One denture. One big transformation.
This patient had worn the same dentures for around 20 years. Over time they had worn down, collapsed the bite, and quietly changed his face shape and soft tissue support. It happens far more often than people realise. π«
I was asked to step in at the key clinical stages. Bite, secondary impressions, and try in. By rebuilding the correct jaw relationship and designing a fuller, more supportive denture that worked with his natural facial features, everything changed. π«Ά
We kept it natural. Even copying small details like tiny gaps between the teeth so it still looked like him, just healthier and more supported.
The best moment? His wifeβs reaction. She said it looked natural, fitted beautifully, and lifted his face. That is always the goal. π₯
If you have old dentures and feel your face has changed, it might not be age. It might be the dentures. π
