Multidisciplinary Smile Rehabilitation

From Gum Troubles to a Balanced, Restored Smile By Dr. Arman Barfeie – Specialist in Prosthodontics

This patient presented to our London clinic with multiple restorative and aesthetic concerns. She was dissatisfied with her gummy smile, suffered from an unstable occlusion, and had a failing lower bridge. Her gingival tissues were inflamed, and previous dental work had resulted in asymmetry, over-preparation, and compromised predictability. Clinically and emotionally, she was ready for a full reassessment and long-term solution.

Pre-OP

What We Did

We developed a multidisciplinary treatment plan, addressing both functional and aesthetic parameters in a structured, staged approach. The goal: restore balance while preserving biology.

• Periodontal Phase Our Periodontist initiated care by managing the inflammation and stabilising gingival health—laying the foundation for all future prosthetic work.

• Endodontic Phase A failing maxillary anterior tooth was successfully treated by our Endodontist, preserving a key abutment and avoiding unnecessary extraction.

• Orthodontic Phase Invisalign was prescribed to decompress the arch and re-establish a more stable occlusal relationship. This mild alignment allowed for improved anterior guidance and restorative positioning.

Pre-OP

What We Did

• Surgical Phase Crown lengthening surgery was performed in the upper anterior zone to correct the excessive gingival display and redefine the smile line.

• Prosthetic Phase – Lower Arch The failing lower bridge was removed. Canine positions were optimised, and a conventional anterior bridge was placed—designed for symmetry and hygiene access.

• Prosthetic Phase – Upper Arch Final restorations included custom porcelain crowns and veneers, layered to blend with natural dentition and deliver optimal shade, contour, and emergence profile.
