A brand new smile!
This patient had several problems she wanted to address. She felt her teeth were too dark, too short and she showed too much gum when she smiled. She has had dental work as needed over the years and ended up with different materials and colors in her mouth (see upper right photo). At first, we decided to just restore the upper front teeth and then address some of the other discolored crowns later. We started with models and creating the new shape of the teeth in wax. I could also then plan for future work and make sure her bite was idea with this diagnostic work-up. After some minor gum re-contouring with a laser and 6 porcelain crowns, she is very happy with her new smile!
