The patient was experiencing a number of issues, including:
- An number of failed fillings
- Unhappy with a denture that was installed following an earlier extraction
- Uneven wear of the teeth due to bruxism (unconsciously grinding the teeth)
- A high number of amalgam (metal) fillings
- Yellowing of the teeth
Despite a regular oral hygiene plan, the patient's oral health was poor, this resulted in a lack of confidence due to insecurities about their smile. The patient expressed a desire to create a smile that would return their confidence, requesting straighter and whiter teeth.
My aim was to restore function by recommending a treatment plan with number of options, including:
- Replacing all amalgam (metal) fillings with white fillings
- Dental crowns to raise the bite (alleviating the uneven wear), and produce a whiter smile.
- Extraction of the teeth that could not be saved, replacing them with dental implants
- Installation of a dental implant to replace the denture. My recommendation also included the cheaper option of a dental bridge. The patient opted for dental implants.
- Teeth whitening program using our Enlighten Smiles® treatment
- Bruxism bite guard to prevent teeth grinding and uneven wear.
The treatment plan was broken down into stages to maximise the chances of a stable long-term result. The staged process had many benefits, including the financial advantage of spreading the cost over a number of months, allowing the bone to fully heal post-extraction.

Dentists want patients to leave a few things behind in 2025 🦷✨ Fear of the dentist (modern care is far more comfortable than you think), waiting until pain strikes, outdated dental myths, “I’ll floss later” habits, and ignoring early warning signs. The healthiest smiles come from confidence, consistency, and preventative care - so let’s make 2026 the year you prioritise your smile 😁

Patient Before & After 📸
This patient had a gummy smile, known as excessive gingival display in medical terms. It’s when you smile and too much gum tissue shows above the top teeth. Genetics are often responsible for a top lip that is either hyperactive or too short.
Dr Ronette used muscle relaxant injections to temporarily paralyse the muscles in the patient’s mouth that raise her upper lip when she smiled. The treatment involves carefully positioned injections above the lip which will stop the lip from raising excessively and showing too much gum when smiling.
How often should you have this treatment? When you notice lip starting to climb again, Dr Ronette recommends having a top up every 6-9 months.
