Question

I'm 51 and have a deep bite where my lower teeth have been worn down so much to a U shape. i have crowns on my back teeth, bridge on one side and implant on the other also #6 is impacted. I've been told by many I'm a case study. It would take 50,000. I hate to smile!!!! By teeth are wearing away....HELP....

This is a routine procedure that requires an extensive amount of training but can be done. I personally use the neuromuscular approach and diagnose the ideal bite/jaw relationship and then build the teeth to that perfect place which often corrects the deep bite and gives a long-lasting, beautiful smile.

It sounds like years of wear on your teeth has affected your confidence in your ability  to smile.   I would advise you to seek a dentist who is trained in full mouth rehabilitation.  From your description, the skill set needed to address your concerns is more involved than those who do "drill and fill" dentistry.    Patients of ours who have undergone treatment in rehabilitating their whole mouth not only look and feel better, they often comment of how they wish they had done this work sooner because of the new found confidence and ability to function that comes along with this kind of work.  Wishing you the best in your journey to find someone who can restore your smile to one you will love.
