Could your smile be changing the way your entire face ages without you realizing it? Most people think cosmetic dentistry begins and ends with creating attractive teeth, but Dr. Jerome Cha explains why jaw position, skeletal support, muscle function, and tooth dimensions can all influence facial appearance. Could addressing the foundation change both how your smile functions and how your face looks?

Dr. Cha explains his approach to dental facial volume compensation, sometimes called a dental facelift, and how adding dimension to the teeth can support the lower face without relying solely on traditional aesthetic treatments. He also shares the case of a young patient who developed jaw pain and chipped teeth after previous extractions and orthodontic treatment, plus an example of a patient whose facial symmetry changed immediately after her jaw imbalance was addressed.
