At Smile Columbia, Dr. Adam Hahn and our team are fortunate to help patients like Rosa rediscover their confidence through life-changing dental care. Rosa came to us with concerns that she could no longer see her upper teeth when she smiled and wanted a more noticeable smile. She also hoped to achieve a rejuvenated look to reduce neck and chin wrinkles, a “facelift” effect from a beautiful, fuller smile.
Transformative Treatment Journey
Dr. Hahn began with a comprehensive neuromuscular workup, using advanced technology to create a treatment plan tailored to Rosa’s goals. Her treatment included a full-mouth reconstruction and TMJ treatment, addressing her smile’s functionality and appearance. The process involved digital imaging, Itero scanning, and smile design modeling in collaboration with Williams Dental Lab. This allowed Dr. Hahn to map out an ideal plan for Rosa’s smile makeover, preparing and placing EMAX crowns bonded with Bisco resin for durability and a natural look.
Rosa’s treatment unfolded in stages, starting with a fixed orthotic to realign her bite, followed by upper and lower arch restorations. For added precision, Dr. Hahn used TENS therapy to relax her jaw muscles and employed BioPak diagnostics to monitor and adjust her bite alignment, ensuring optimal comfort and function. These tools helped relieve her discomfort and set the foundation for a stable, lasting smile.
A Stunning New Smile and Renewed Confidence
The outcome of Rosa’s treatment has been nothing short of transformative. Her once-hidden smile now radiates naturally, showcasing a lighter, vibrant shade. Beyond the aesthetics, her corrected bite has eased discomfort, giving her more freedom to enjoy life without jaw pain or headaches. Rosa was thrilled when she saw her before-and-after photos—she beams with confidence and smiles more than ever, receiving countless compliments on her new look.
Dr. Hahn is equally pleased with her results:
“Rosa was a phenomenal patient. She knew what she wanted in her smile and trusted us throughout the process. I am extremely happy with the result and grateful for Rosa’s trust in us.”
Rosa’s Heartfelt Words
Reflecting on her experience, Rosa shared:
“After my husband passed away in June 2023, and beating breast cancer at the same time, my face showed the grief. My bite was off, which caused headaches, and I had chipped my front tooth or ground it down. After my consultation, I knew Smile Columbia was where I needed to be. They presented many options, and Dr. Hahn and the team walked me through the process, so there were no surprises. My new smile really makes me feel great. And I was so surprised when I saw the before and after photos. Incredible. I smile so much more—a LOT MORE. I haven’t smiled this much in such a long time. I get compliments on my smile all the time. I look and feel younger and happy. I can’t thank you all enough. Dr. Hahn’s team is AWESOME! Everyone was wonderful and knowledgeable. One of the best decisions I’ve made.”
