Failing Porcelain Veneers - Part 1

This patient came to see us concerned about the appearance of her 10+ year old porcelain veneers. She did not like the shape or color. Note the staining around the edges. This is a pretty realistic example of what cosmetic dentistry looked like in days gone by. Can't wait to get this case treated and see how beautiful we can make her smile! CLICK PHOTO TO SEE MORE...

Great Smile Makeover - Part 2

So we are ready to take the next step and get this case started. We had the patient come back for the preparation appointment. At this appointment, we had her approved the diagnostic waxup, which is a simulation on the final result done on a model of her teeth. We did the prep work on her teeth which involved some light sanding and roughening of the enamel surface. We then took impressions of the teeth and placed temporary veneers. We had her come back a few days later to check size, shape, length and alignment of the temporaries.

Another fun case to see...Pt 2

Well, you are never too old for a smile makeover! This sweet little lady drove 2 hours to see us. She told me that she wanted her teeth fixed for the last time, and that she did not want teeth that went in a jar at night! I think we can help! We planned for a full mouth reconstruction with porcelain veneers, porcelain crowns and bridges. She's ready to start, so check back soon.....
