Artistic Porcelain Veneers: Dramatic changes
There are many cases where porcelain veneers can be used for functional and esthetic purposes. In this case, the veneers are used to change the appearance of teeth that are in the wrong place in the smile. There are missing lateral incisors in the photo below and the cuspids were moved into the space of the lateral incisors giving the patient an unattractive smile. The cuspids are large teeth with curves whereas the lateral incisors are smaller teeth with a flat surface.
Missing lateral incisors: cuspids in their place
Porcelain Veneers used for Smilemaker
This case and veneers were designed to recreate proper proportions of the teeth to each other and create the illusions that there were no missing teeth. The gums were also laser recontoured in order to be able to properly place veneers in different positions. Note the drastic improvment in tooth proportion and how it appears that this gentleman has all his teeth.
This case is one of the many ways that we use veneers to artistically and functionally provide smilemakeovers. The use of veneers is much more conservative than using porcelain crowns. Specialized training, such as advanced LVI Global, has enabled us to continually improve complex cases.
