Vivian’s Smile Makeover—Jupiter, FL

Why Vivian Came to Juno Beach Smiles

Vivian’s oral health had declined to such a degree due to years of teeth grinding that it actually wasn’t her that reached out to Juno Beach Smiles—it was her mom. In addition to broken and worn down teeth, Vivian also had a serious infection that needed to be addressed right away. She required serious help, and Dr. Riley was able to come up with a plan to make sure that both her health and appearance received the attention they deserved.

How We Transformed Vivian’s Smile

For Dr. Riley, the biggest concern was Vivian’s health, so he referred her to a local endodontist (root canal specialist) so they could remove the infection before it could lead to bigger issues. Once her mouth was relatively healthy, Vivian had a few broken teeth removed, and then Dr. Riley was able to build up her remaining teeth and fill in the gaps with custom-made restorations, creating a cohesive, attractive look.

What Vivian Thinks About Her Experience at Juno Beach Smiles

Patients in Vivian’s position can easily become overwhelmed when there is a long list of things to be done. But to talk to Vivian, the process was easier than she could have imagined. “I was not in pain, I wasn’t here all day—it was (like) nothing that I ever could have imagined.”  Now, she can’t stop smiling, which she says is amazing because she didn’t feel that way less than a year ago.
