ABC.

Align. Brighten. Contour.

The alignment was already done. We handled the rest.

This patient came to us after completing Invisalign elsewhere. His teeth were straight, but he wasn’t completely happy with their proportions.

We took care of the rest:

Take-home whitening followed by six composite veneers.

This allowed us to address the shape and proportions of his teeth while keeping the changes conservative and natural.

Sometimes the goal isn’t a new smile. It’s simply a better version of the one you already have.

Invisalign, whitening and veneers.

The goal here: to bring balance and brightness, while still making it feel like her smile.

How we got there:
1. Invisalign first, to close the spacing and improve the bite
2. A round of whitening once the teeth were aligned
3. 10 upper veneers — a mix of no-prep and minimal prep

Aligning the teeth before any veneer work means we can be far more conservative with the enamel we touch. The result is natural, healthy, and built to last.

What makes a restoration look natural?

It’s more than just the shade.

Shape, translucency, surface texture, contours and the way the restoration interacts with light all play a role.

ABC- Align. Brighten. Contour

This patient had already completed Invisalign with his regular dentist but didn’t like the spacing, and shape of his teeth. After talking through his goals, we mapped out a plan: professional whitening to brighten, then composite bonding to fill out the shape and close the gaps.

No drilling, one appointment- conservative, additive work to give him the smile he’s always wanted.

Whitening followed by six porcelain veneers.

Designed to enhance what was already there, while preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible.

Often, the most conservative dentistry is also the dentistry that stands the test of time.

Whitening + 6 porcelain veneers.

This patient came in with four older composite veneers that had seen better days. They sat too far forward, threw off the balance of her smile, and just didn’t fit her face anymore.

Here’s how we approached it:

1. Whitening to establish a bright, natural base shade (you always want to whiten before placing veneers so everything matches).

2. We removed the dated composites and replaced them with six conservative porcelain veneers that are designed to sit properly, complement her lip line, and suit her smile.

The result: Teeth that look like they belong to her- brighter, better proportions, and way more natural than what she walked in with.

Two patients.

Two very different reasons for a broken tooth.
- In one case, a young patient unfortunately fell and fractured her front teeth.
- In the other, a porcelain crown fractured.

Both repaired the same day they walked through the door.

Not every broken tooth needs a crown, a veneer, or multiple appointments.

Resin bonding/composite veneers.

Composite veneers doing their thing. 4 teeth, one appointment, no heavy drilling. Helping people love their smile is the best part of the job.

Same day Fix.

Unfortunately our patient broke her tooth while eating. In a situation on like this no one likes to roam around with half a tooth missing. We free hand built up her tooth in an hour to make sure she could go back to living her life. Next is to fix the old composite on the neighbouring tooth.

The after photo is immediately after treatment- in 72 hours this will look even better as the tooth rehydrates.

Six composite veneers.

Everyone defaults to porcelain when they hear “veneers”, but composite is a great option that deserves more consideration.

Chip, uneven edges, and discolouration all handled in one appointment. Still your smile- just the polished version.
