A Fresh Take On A Familiar Smile

This patient had four veneers placed about thirty years ago. After their orthodontic treatment left gaps between their front teeth. The four veneers served them well but gradually the gap-spacing returned as a dark triangle between their two front teeth. 

This patient’s main concern was that their teeth were the first thing they noticed in pictures. They felt that the veneers started to look square and they were unhappy with the colour. The goal was a brighter, fuller smile with a softer shape. A smile that still looked like their own.

Treatment and Results

For their treatment, we replaced their four original veneers and added four new ones alongside them for eight porcelain veneers total. Extending the width of this patient’s smile lets us brighten the colour evenly from one side to the other and soften up the square edges into a more natural shape. 

The newly placed veneers reduced the gap between their front teeth, and since these photos  were taken, their gums have now begun to heal and fill in the remaining space. The best part? This patient has their confidence back when they smile.

Your Smile, Your Way

A lot can change in thirty years, including your smile. Your teeth can start to drift, your gums can recede, and veneers that once matched can start to look discoloured next to everything else.

At The Assembly, we look at your existing dental work alongside your gum health before recommending a path to move forward with. If older veneers or restorations no longer feel comfortable, book your consultation with Dr. Smith or Dr. French.
