Aging and tooth wear is a natural progression and the loss of vertical dimension of a patient's face is the consequence. The face collapses along with the wear on the teeth. The life expectancy of our generation has increased to almost 100 years of age. Teeth can date faces.

The patient is healthier when all of the old mismatched crowns and fillings are replaced. Conflicting metals and crumbling tooth structure are replaced with biologically well-matched porcelain materials. Decay is removed for maximum health and the bite is rebuilt. Eventually, the bite is typically flattened with wear. Cusps are worn down and facial height is lost. Rebuilding the bite restores the cusp tips for better chewing and facial height to restore a more youthful face. The dentist's skill and knowledge are the most critical element in Face Lift Dentistry. Superior training combined with artistic ability is a necessity. All of the three dimensional components, technical elements and functional components such as speech and chewing must be dynamically balanced and biologically harmonized.
