Before
In his early 70s, this male patient had several missing front teeth. The gaps showed clearly whenever he spoke or smiled, and the missing support made the mouth area look less full.
He wanted the front teeth to look present again, but in a way that still felt natural for his face. A denture that looked too bulky or too bright would have stood out, so the tooth size, shade and bite support needed to be planned properly.
After
The new denture helped restore the missing front teeth, so his smile no longer looked interrupted by visible gaps. When he spoke or smiled, the front teeth appeared more even and present.
The denture was also adjusted for bite contact and daily comfort, not appearance alone. The tooth size and shade were kept natural, giving him a steadier smile without making the denture look obvious.
What’s the Secret?
For missing front teeth, the denture needs to look natural when the patient talks and smiles, while still feeling comfortable for daily biting.
In this case, Dr Elaine Lim planned the tooth position, shade and bite contact based on the patient’s front teeth gap. At dental clinic Sri Petaling, patients with similar concerns can ask whether removable dentures are suitable.
If missing front teeth are affecting your smile or bite comfort, you may contact Dr Elaine Lim to arrange a consultation.
