Myra Shah, a 45-year-old small business...
Myra Shah, a 45-year-old small business owner, noticed her front teeth gap gradually widening over the past five years, coinciding with increased stress and nighttime teeth grinding (bruxism). The gap made her feel unprofessional and prematurely aged. Her dentist explained that gum recession and occlusal pressure from grinding were causing the teeth to migrate. He recommended addressing the root cause with a night guard first, then closing the diastema with porcelain veneers for a durable, natural-looking result that would also strengthen the worn teeth. Myra was anxious about the permanence but proceeded. The treatment required two appointments: preparation and temporary veneers, then permanent placement. The recovery involved adjusting to the new feel of her teeth and managing temporary sensitivity. The outcome was excellent, restoring a youthful, cohesive smile. Emotionally, Myra moved from frustration about aging to feeling re-energized and confident in her appearance, seeing her new smile as an investment in her personal and professional life.
