Case Study: Porcelain veneers

This patient tried whitening and Invisalign to enhance her smile, but she wasn’t really happy with those solutions. Ultra-thin porcelain veneers were ideal for her, restoring the wear and tear the teeth presented, allowing for a fuller, vibrant smile with minimal preparation and no damage.

How does Veneers treatment work?

Step 1: Diagnosis

The patient had previously undergone whitening and Invisalign treatments at another practice but remained dissatisfied with her smile. Upon her first appointment with us, we identified the issue—significant wear on her teeth. After listening to her concerns, we concluded that restoring her teeth with ceramic veneers would provide the best long term solution.

Step 2: Mock up

After we digitally designed her smile, our technician created a “wax-up” – a physical model of what the veneers will look like. This model is then transferred onto the patient’s teeth, which is the best way to visualize the final result before we even begin the procedure. The patient loved the vision of her future teeth.

Step 3: Ceramic veneers

With the end result always in sight, the dentist can then prepare the teeth in a super conservative way, without causing any damage. The very thin veneers are then manufactured by a world class technician

Step 4: Bonding the veneers

Three weeks after the preparation, we are ready to fit the 7 veneers. We begin by trying them on to ensure the patient is completely satisfied with the look and feel. We kept some of the asymmetries of the teeth as the patient desired a natural appearance. The result is a beautiful, rejuvenated smile, whilst the teeth are fully protected from further damage.
