Clive has been a patient at our office since he was just 4 years old…
At our office, we believe that every patient’s smile tells a story, and Clive’s journey is one of thoughtful planning, artistic dentistry, and a commitment to lifelong dental health.
From an early age, it was clear that his dental needs would require long-term care and planning. Clive was congenitally missing both of his permanent upper lateral incisors – the adult teeth located on either side of the two front teeth.
This strategic solution not only restored balance to Clive’s smile but also avoided the need for implants or bridges. The result is a natural-looking, confident smile that Clive can wear proudly – one that reflects years of dedication, expertise, and personalized care.
Thanks to a collaborative treatment approach, Dr. Linscott worked closely with orthodontic specialist Dr. John Freeman to create the best possible outcome. Dr. Freeman expertly aligned Clive’s teeth, and together, they determined that the upper cuspids (canines) could be carefully guided forward (mesially) and reshaped to resemble the missing lateral incisors.
