Often patients who come to see Dr. Waldman may have a clinical situation where more than one type of treatment is needed to provide optimal results for both beauty and long-term successful function.

Dr. Waldman is a strong believer that a “short cut” to treatment is not always the best route to take, and many of Dr. Waldman’s patients are people who have previously taken the “short cut” to a nicer smile and have experienced either dissatisfaction with their results or that the work may not be as long lasting as anticipated.  These people may  be experiencing a host of problems from chipping, breakage, discolouration, or even jaw problems.

For many of these patients the best place to start is with aligning the teeth into their ideal positions with respect to their bite and appearance prior to restoring these teeth with veneers, crowns or implants. This will also help to improve the strength of the individual teeth as they will not require extensive preparation to create the illusion of correct tooth positioning.

While these combined therapies may increase treatment time, they will also significantly extend the life of the teeth and restorations.  Some of these patients who have received orthodontic re-alignment of their teeth prior to restoring them can be seen below.  For these patients, the level of satisfaction at the conclusion of their treatment is the highest possible.
