To us, smile design is rarely about looking at the teeth in isolation.
In this case, the starting point included an existing discoloured bridge, a gummy smile and proportions that affected the overall balance of the smile.
Using Digital Smile Design, we planned the changes in relation to the patientโs facial features, smile line and existing tooth structure before treatment began.
Treatment involved:
โข Digital Smile Design and smile preview
โข Gum recontouring
โข Replacement of the existing bridge
โข Minimally invasive porcelain veneers
โข Careful consideration of tooth proportions, symmetry and overall smile balance
The aim was to preserve as much natural tooth structure as possible while working towards a more harmonious result.
Treatment by Dr Lily Taheri at The Applecross Dentist.
Treatment timeframe: approximately 16 weeks from the before to after photographs.
Every smile has different clinical considerations. Treatment options, risks, benefits, alternatives and suitability are assessed individually following a dental examination. Dental procedures carry risks, which vary depending on the treatment and individual circumstances.
Before and after images show the outcome of this individual case and are for educational purposes. Results vary between patients.
