Congenitally Missing Teeth
Smile of the Month

November 2017

After enduring most of her high school years with an imperfect smile, Chelsea had one hope: for her orthodontic treatment to be completed in time for her high school prom and graduation. She was recommended to Dr. Mohr. After years of going to dentists who just didn’t know where to start with her problematic case, Dr. Mohr evaluated her smile, occlusion (bite) and knew he would be able to solve her problem with his “Dream Team” of specialists.

Her smile issues were far more complex than most teens’ orthodontic needs. Chelsea had congenitally missing teeth -- or missing teeth from birth -- in addition to significant issues with the alignment of her bite. Like most teens, she was dealing with low self-esteem due to the appearance of her smile.

Because Chelsea was a young patient, Dr. Mohr had to take the growth and development of her jaw and oral structures into consideration. Dr. Mohr worked with the trusted orthodontist on his “Dream Team” to realign her bite as well as with a talented periodontist who placed two dental implants to take care of the missing teeth.

It wasn’t a short process. In fact, Chelsea refers to the 2 year treatment process as more of a journey. And in the end, our team was able to give this bright young girl the teeth she was missing from birth, correct the alignment of her bite, and boost her self-esteem immensely. Just in time for her high school prom!

Chelsea says she was most impressed by the “professional and detail oriented” treatment she received from Dr. Mohr as he spearheaded her treatment with his team of experts. She also appreciated that she felt not just like a patient, but a friend every time she visited the office -- and she could really tell that our team is truly passionate about our work.

Read what Chelsea has to say about her experience in her own words. She may only be in high school, but her writing really speaks volumes:

“Hearing that other professionals wouldn't trust their own children with anyone else or that Dr. Mohr was the best had always reinforced my decision. Regardless, the results speak for themselves. For those considering a dentist or any type of cosmetic dentistry, Dr. Mohr and his staff are the best there is -- taking dentistry to a whole new level with this practice.”
