Clinical cases

Not just before and after photographs. Each case is documented as a clinical story, from diagnosis to the limits of the result.

Detail photographs, used as a working tool: models, intraoral views and gingival contours. The result of one case is not a promise for another.

How I document a case

A before and after photograph shows an outcome, but not why that treatment was chosen or what the alternatives were. Every case on this page follows the same steps, so you can follow the reasoning.

  1. Diagnosis

    What I found at examination: the state of the teeth, gums, bite and joints, with photographs and radiographs.

  2. The initial problem

    What bothered the patient and what the clinical examination showed. The two do not always match.

  3. Treatment options

    The possible approaches, from the most conservative to the most extensive, with advantages and disadvantages.

  4. Why this treatment was chosen

    The clinical reasons behind the decision, in plain language.

  5. The stages

    What was done and in what order, including planning (wax-up, mock-up) and reversible phases.

  6. The result

    The situation at the end of treatment, using the same photographic angles as at the start.

  7. Limitations and maintenance

    What could not be achieved, which compromises were made and what needs to be monitored over time.

Start with a consultation and a plan

Every treatment begins with a diagnosis: clinical examination, photographs, radiographs and, where relevant, an occlusal analysis. Only then do we discuss options.
