Laser technology was used to remove existing porcelain veneers! This process takes more time but being able to conserve all that tooth structure underneath is key and worth every minute for my patients! This will result in more enamel for better bonding and restorations that will last longe.
This patient had two sets of veneers done previously. If I had traditionally cut off her veneers, the restorations would have most likely turn into crowns due to the amount of tooth structure already taken off before! Hand-made porcelain veneer restorations were placed on her upper teeth to improve aesthetics and give her a wider and more youthful look!
Dental architecture ABSOLUTELY influences the jawline! These bones are preserved by the pressure and stimulation of chewing and blood supply to the teeth. If you lose your natural teeth it WILL AFFECT your jawline! That is why CONSERVATION of tooth structure is so important!
This patient had work done by ONLY 1 previous dentist who completely shaved all her teeth to little nubs which required her to need multiple root canals. In addition, the patient had recurrent decay and open margins which required her to go through gum surgery and need crown lengthening.
The patient was placed in custom provisionals for approx 3 months to allow gums to heal. And an additional 3 weeks needed for gums to fully heal after these crowns were placed.
