Joan – Wallingford, CT
Smile Design: Full Mouth Reconstruction using Porcelain Crowns & Porcelain Veneers
Joan: “The art of dentistry is demonstrated in the quality work performed by Dr. N. Summer Lerch. Four years of my life were spent repairing my jaw and my teeth, after which Dr. Lerch began the arduous task of correcting my bite and placing my teeth where they belong. Throughout the process, Dr. Lerch demonstrated fortitude, professionalism, and determination, and she assured me that my teeth would be perfect when she finished. She spent long hours making sure that my bite, my jaw and my facial muscles were perfectly balanced. I owe my very existence to Dr. Lerch for enabling me to chew solid foods which I had previously avoided. Because of my time with Dr. Lerch I now have a truly beautiful smile.”
Dr. Lerch: “Joan came to us after years of suffering from an unbalanced jaw / mismatched tooth relationship, resulting in inefficient chewing and painful nights with dizziness, headaches and ringing in her ears. After successful jaw realignment therapy in NYC, Joan and I began the complicated and precise process of restoring her teeth to match her now balanced bite and facial musculature. We used a combination of porcelain crowns, porcelain veneers and splint therapy. Joan is an amazing woman, who truly gave her confidence to us as she moved through her different appointments. Within four months of starting Joan’s rehabilitation she was stable, her bite solid and her headaches and dizziness gone. I am thrilled to have been a part of her healing.”
