Overview of Case: This wonderful patient was unhappy with her smile and wanted to change it for many years.

When this patient arrived at the office for a cosmetic consultation, she was already unhappy with her smile, yet didn’t know what her options were. Initially, looking at her discolored and worn teeth the idea was to place porcelain veneers. Unfortunately, after taking a chair side intraoral scan and digital pictures, utilizing landmarks, we realized that there was not enough room to use porcelain veneers and that to fully give her the smile she never had, we would have to open her bite to place the appropriately sized teeth. Opening the bite on a patient is a workflow that we use consistently, the protocol we established is followed by the patient for 2 days to 3 weeks and gives us the pathway to the correctly sized teeth. Once the digital smile design is produced, we can transfer that to the mouth and test drive it. Once the patient approves, it becomes a simple choice of final color for her new smile design. The final result fits her face and gives her the smile she always wanted. We are so happy for her and that she trusted us to deliver the spectacular results!
