This patient had been living with missing molars. Before treatment, the dentist observed a shorter-looking lower face, more prominent wrinkles and an older-looking appearance.<\/p>\n<p>At Harue Dental Clinic, molar height and the occlusal vertical dimension were restored alongside cosmetic treatment of the front teeth. The dentist described a younger-looking, slimmer appearance and a lifting-like change after treatment. This article preserves those clinical observations while distinguishing what is visible in the photographs from causes that cannot be determined from photographs alone.<\/p>\n<div class=\"hc-box hc-question\">\n<h2>Can restoring tooth height change facial appearance?<\/h2>\n<p><strong class=\"hc-emphasis\">Changes in the occlusal vertical dimension can affect the shape of the lower face and the tissues around the lips.<\/strong> However, facial appearance also depends on expression and photographic conditions.

The dentist described an overall restoration that considered the relationship between molar height and the lower face, in addition to cosmetic treatment of the front teeth.<\/p>\n<blockquote aria-label=\"Case description provided by the treating dentist\">\n<p>In the pretreatment appearance of a patient who had left missing molars untreated, the lower face appeared shorter, with more wrinkles and an older-looking appearance. After treatment re-established molar height and restored the vertical dimension overall, the patient appeared much younger and slimmer, with a lifting-like effect visible.<\/p>\n<p>For patients who have lost molars or whose vertical dimension has decreased because of tooth wear, appropriate adjustment of the vertical dimension can therefore improve facial form and create a younger-looking, rejuvenation-like appearance.<\/p>\n<p>This patient underwent implant treatment together with cosmetic treatment of the front teeth. The photographs of this case were taken on the same day. Such overall restoration can offer changes beyond those of dental treatment alone.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"hc-box\">\n<h3>Restoring vertical dimension and a lifting-like change in appearance<\/h3>\n<p>The original description uses \u201clifting effect\u201d and \u201crejuvenation effect\u201d to describe the clinical impression of a younger-looking, slimmer appearance after treatment. These photographs do not demonstrate reversal of skin aging itself or an effect equivalent to a cosmetic lifting procedure.<\/p>\n<p><strong class=\"hc-emphasis\">The clinical decision to restore missing teeth and vertical dimension is described alongside the changes in appearance visible in the photographs, without treating the two as the same finding.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"hc-stage-grid\">\n<section class=\"hc-stage\">\n<h3 class=\"hc-photo-title\">Actual before and after \u00b7 Lower face and smile<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"hc-compare\">\n<figure><span class=\"hc-photo-label\">BEFORE \u00b7 Before treatment<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"hc-photo-panel hc-before\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/harue.co.kr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/harue-occlusal-vertical-dimension-face-before-after.webp\" width=\"2086\" height=\"754\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Frontal lower-face view before vertical-dimension restoration after molar loss, with lips closed\"><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<figure class=\"hc-after-figure\"><span class=\"hc-photo-label\">AFTER \u00b7 After treatment<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"hc-photo-panel hc-after\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/harue.co.kr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/harue-occlusal-vertical-dimension-face-before-after.webp\" width=\"2086\" height=\"754\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Frontal lower-face view after implants and anterior cosmetic treatment, smiling with teeth visible\"><\/div>\n<\/figure><figcaption class=\"hc-photo-caption\">The upper photograph shows the patient before treatment with the lips closed; the lower photograph shows the patient smiling with the teeth visible after treatment.

Combining implants with cosmetic treatment of the front teeth<\/h2>\n<p>The patient underwent implant treatment together with cosmetic treatment of the front teeth.

This describes a general group for clinical consideration; it does not add a diagnosis of tooth wear in this patient.<\/p>\n<div class=\"hc-box\">\n<h3>Same-day photography and treatment duration are different facts<\/h3>\n<p>The dentist\u2019s record states that the photographs of this case were taken on the same day.<\/p>\n<p><strong class=\"hc-emphasis\">The overall implant treatment duration or detailed treatment sequence cannot be determined from the photography date alone.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"hc-stage-grid\">\n<section class=\"hc-stage\">\n<h2 class=\"hc-stage-title\">03.

Distinguishing observed appearance from further assessment<\/h2>\n<p>What can be confirmed is that the lip shape, mouth corners, lower face and smiling appearance look different in this patient\u2019s before-and-after photographs. The dentist described a younger-looking, slimmer appearance and a lifting-like change after treatment.<\/p>\n<p>However, these photographs alone cannot quantify the actual increase in vertical dimension, changes in wrinkle depth, the duration of the changes or the proportion attributable to restoring the vertical dimension.

No unprovided materials, implant counts or values for the increase in vertical dimension have been added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Do the blue arrows measure actual facial length?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"hc-answer\">\n<p>No. They are explanatory markers showing the area being observed from beneath the nose to the chin.<\/p>\n<p>The photographs lack a calibrated measurement reference and matching expressions, so the increase in vertical dimension cannot be calculated from arrow length alone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>If both photographs were taken on the same day, was treatment completed in one day?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"hc-answer\">\n<p>The photography date alone does not establish that the entire treatment was completed in one day.<\/p>\n<p>The dentist\u2019s record states that the photographs were taken on the same day, but overall implant treatment duration and photography timing are different pieces of information.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Are the paper\u2019s 79.7% and 81.2% treatment success rates?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"hc-answer\">\n<p>No. They are the proportions rated as looking younger in that study.<\/p>\n<p>The 79.7% figure reflects respondents\u2019 self-assessment; 81.2% reflects independent assessors\u2019 evaluation of the photographs. They cannot be used as functional success rates or to predict an individual\u2019s treatment effect.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What photographs are needed to compare facial changes?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"hc-answer\">\n<p>It is preferable to compare before-and-after photographs taken under matching conditions with the lips gently closed in a relaxed position.<\/p>\n<p>Smile photographs should be compared separately. Matching camera angle, distance, magnification and head position as closely as possible helps reduce the effects of expression and photographic conditions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"hc-intro\">\n<h2>Understanding dental restoration alongside facial harmony<\/h2>\n<p>Re-establishing molar height and appropriately restoring the vertical dimension can provide an opportunity to assess lower-face and smile harmony beyond simply filling missing-tooth spaces. This case, as described by the dentist, documents overall restoration combining implants and cosmetic treatment of the front teeth.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, a change in photographic appearance must be distinguished from the isolated effect of vertical-dimension restoration. Treatment methods, the required vertical dimension and visible facial changes vary with each person\u2019s oral condition, expression and treatment circumstances.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"hc-wide hc-references\">\n<h2>References<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Mohindra NK, Bulman JS.
