Desire to reduce the gap between the upper front teeth
Treatment Type: Four Emax Veneers in upper front teeth
Background
Mr T came to us for help before his daughter’s wedding. He had a gap in his front teeth, which he wished to make smaller while retaining this part of his character.

Treatment Plan
Time was of the essence here. An impression of Mr T’s teeth was taken, and this was immediately sent to the dental technician for making his new teeth in wax. Mr T was rescheduled to see the wax models in a matter of days, which then gave him the opportunity to visualise the look of his new teeth.

Mr H came to the Surbiton Smile Centre ® initially with the problem of a loose bridge. He avoided smiling as his teeth had been damaged in a rugby game several
