Cosmetic Dentistry Case Study
The patient was not happy with the look of her existing four veneers
Treatment Type: Replacement of old veneers with eMax Ceramic veneers
Background
Ms C had four porcelain veneers fitted to her upper front teeth several years ago, by another dental practice. Unfortunately, over this period of time, her gum line had receded, exposing the surface of her teeth. She was recommended to visit the Surbiton Smile Centre ® for an initial consultation.
Before
Treatment
During her first appointment, we gave Ms C a detailed assessment in order to provide her bespoke advice and a quotation for the work. Once the treatment plan was agreed, the existing veneers were removed, and the surfaces of the teeth were tidied up. Impressions of the top and bottom teeth were then made, which were sent to the dental laboratory. Also detailed photographs were taken to convey information to the laboratory regarding face shape, lip volume and position, skin tone and features in the neighbouring teeth.
In the meantime, around two weeks, Ms C was given a set of temporary veneers, made by us in the dental surgery. These were made to fit in with Ms C’s existing teeth, both in terms of shape and colour. Finally, at the second appointment, the actual veneers were finally placed, checked for fitting and bite. Note if the veneers are all correct, they will be finally cemented in, but if there is a need to ascertain comfortability when biting they can be temporarily cemented in to allow for any final adjustments.
After
Outcome
Ms C was thrilled with the work carried out and made the comment that she thought she was smiling more fully now.
