Brian's Smile Story

At 31, Brian was self-conscious about the effects of teeth grinding on his smile. He had considered going abroad for treatment but wanted somewhere in Switzerland where he would be understood and the final look would be taken seriously. Micro veneers and onlays restored his smile. This is how we approached it at our Geneva clinic.

Where Brian started

If you grind your teeth and have been weighing whether to travel abroad for treatment, Brian made the same calculation, and chose to stay in Switzerland. He wanted to be listened to, and he knew that in a restorative case like his the final look really matters. After his first appointment he felt he had found the right place. His story is for anyone in Switzerland who wants grinding-related damage restored without going overseas.

How we planned it

At Smile Design Boutique, aesthetics never come at the expense of biology or function. Because Brian grinds his teeth, the plan had to restore his smile and stand up to that grinding. Micro veneers and onlays were designed to rebuild the teeth conservatively while keeping the final look natural, planned around how his teeth meet. The case was planned digitally so he could understand the direction before treatment began, which mattered for someone who cared deeply about the result.

The Process of Designing Smile

Brian’s dental transformation was a blend of precision and empathy. Understanding his complexity due to bruxism, Smile Design Boutique crafted a tailored plan. Micro veneers and onlays were chosen to address his needs, carefully designed to restore his smile’s harmony and function while increasing his vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO). The result is a smile that not only radiates confidence but also reflects Brian’s generous spirit and newfound self-assurance.

The result

Brian’s smile is restored and he uses it with confidence, with a result designed to handle the grinding that affected it. As with every case, results depend on each patient’s oral health, habits, and care, and every plan is confirmed only after a clinical examination.

“I have always been conscious I would need to do something about my teeth grinding but refused myself to go overseas to do a treatment. I was looking for a place in Switzerland where I would be understood and listened to, as in restorative cases like mine the final look is very important. After my first appointment I felt I had found the right place and the right people and now I can use my smile confidently, it has changed the way I feel about myself for sure!”
