How does Smile Makeover treatment work?
Step #1 Initial Smile
The patient’s teeth were chipped and worn down, giving her smile an aged appearance.
Step #2 Smile with Lips Retracted
Visible gum recession contributed to an uneven gum line and further discomfort.
Step #3 Upper Jaw, Initial Situation
Wear had also affected the palatal sides of the teeth, leading to sensitivity.
Step #4 Gum Grafts and Temporary Repairs
We performed gum grafts to cover the recession and applied temporary composite veneers.
Step #5 Mock-up of Veneers Design
A mock-up of the future veneers was created, allowing us to study the shapes and visualize the final outcome.
Step #6 Porcelain Veneers on Master Casts
The final veneers were fabricated, showcasing precise craftsmanship and attention to detail.
Step #7 Veneers Fitted
The veneers were fitted perfectly. With healthy gum architecture and excellent work by the dental technician, the aesthetic result was remarkable.
Step #8 Occlusal View of Final Veneers
Not only did the veneers restore the appearance of the teeth, but they also restored function by covering defective areas on the palatal side.
Step #9 Final Smile (Front View)
The patient’s new teeth were natural-looking, with anatomy and shade that blend seamlessly.
Step #10 Final Smile (Lateral View)
A lateral view highlights the perfect optical integration of the ceramic veneers, ensuring a harmonious and aesthetically pleasing result.
