He stopped covering his mouth in photos.
At 42, Agoston traded a lifetime of worn, discolored teeth for a full set of zirconium crowns, designed and fitted across two visits in Istanbul.
Before“For the first time in years, I laughed and actually felt my own cheeks move.”

What Agoston’s treatment involved
Twelve teeth, worn down by years of grinding, needed root canal treatment first. All 28 teeth were then prepared for crowns, and Agoston left with a temporary set the same day.
In a second visit, permanent zirconium crowns were fitted across all 28 teeth, upper and lower, completing a full-mouth restoration in 134 minutes.

The smile he kept reinventing himself to get
Agoston had spent years avoiding group photos, his teeth shortened and discolored from grinding, and quietly self-conscious about microdontia he could not hide.
Small, uneven teeth and years of grinding had shortened and discolored Agoston’s smile. He kept his mouth closed in nearly every photo, instinctively, without thinking about it anymore.
He arrived at Vera Smile already partway through reinventing himself, here for a hair transplant alongside the dental work, ready to change more than one thing at once.
The teeth were the part he wanted fixed most: the part that had kept him quiet in every photo for years.
With a full, even smile, Agoston said that when he laughed, he felt his own cheeks again, for the first time in years.
