Case Study: Composite Veneers

This patient presented with significant tooth wear, which not only compromised the structural integrity of their teeth but also contributed to a darker and uneven appearance. Tooth wear is often caused by factors such as bruxism (grinding or clenching of teeth), acidic erosion from diet, or age-related wear. Over time, the enamel becomes thinner, making the underlying dentin more visible, which results in a darker shade. Additionally, the wear had altered the natural shape of the teeth, creating an uneven and aged look.

How does Veneers treatment work?

Step #1 Teeth whitening

To address these issues, a comprehensive treatment plan was devised. The first step involved teeth whitening using custom-made trays. This method ensures that the whitening gel is applied evenly across the teeth, effectively brightening the smile by several shades. Custom trays allow for a more controlled and comfortable whitening experience, delivering optimal results.

Step #2 Composite veneers

Once the teeth reached the desired shade, the next step was to restore their shape and structure using composite veneers. These veneers were delicately crafted and bonded to the front surface of the teeth, enhancing both aesthetics and function. Composite veneers offer a conservative and minimally invasive option to restore the natural shape of the teeth while protecting them from further wear. The result was a whiter, more symmetrical smile that greatly improved the patient’s confidence.
