Enamel Defects

Smile Case J R

Jens R After Makeover

This patient was not happy with his smile. His chief complaint was that when he smiled, he didn’t show many teeth and was embarrassed about it. He displayed very short, small, discolored, misaligned and worn down teeth. He had cavities and enamel loss due to grinding of his teeth. He also lost a lot of vertical dimension which caused him to have a “reverse smile” effect. He felt that his smile was uneven and worn-out and he wanted a change.

By using 10 porcelain veneers and 4 porcelain crowns, I was able to open his bite and lengthen his teeth. By opening his bite by 1 mm, I had more space and increased his vertical dimension. I gave him longer teeth with a fuller, whiter, straighter, and gorgeous smile with porcelain veneers and porcelain crowns. Therefore, this improved his function, health, and esthetics. I was able to address his chief complaint and gave him an amazing outcome! His brand new smile increased his self-confidence and now he loves his new dazzling smile!

Smile Case S R

SR After Smile makeover

This lovely patient said she had always struggled with the aesthetics of her smile. She had seen several dentists and was never really satisfied with their work. She had old bondings that didn’t look natural and were worn down. She didn’t like the gap between her front teeth and her old faulty bondings. Also, she had discolored, short, and misaligned teeth.

She didn’t like the shape and size of her teeth as well. I gave her a fuller, whiter, straighter, and gorgeous smile with 8 super minimal prep porcelain veneers. Her new smile improved her overall self-confidence. She loves her new smile makeover. Now she gets compliments on her beautiful smile all the time!

Smile Case V W

Vanessa W Removed Puffy Gums Left Canine After

This lovely patient had white spots (fluorosis), enamel defects (enamel hypoplasia) and multiple gaps between her teeth. Also, the size of the teeth were not proportional to her face. Because of all these issues, she was unhappy with her smile.

I was able to correct all these problems with 8 super minimum prep emax porcelain veneers (0.3 mm reduction) to fix decay, discoloration, white spots (fluorosis) and enamel defects (enamel hypoplasia). I did this in 2 simple painless visits.

This after photo was taken right after cementing upper super minimum prep porcelain veneers. The gums are still irritated and inflammed. They needed more time to heal.

The patient was very happy with the final results. She was extremely satisfied with how I was able to fix her issues efficiently and painlessly. She loves her new dazzling smile.
