“This is the best gingival match I’ve ever seen with porcelain,” Dr. Antee shared. “He is ecstatic, and his dad said he now catches him smiling at himself in the mirror.”
After years of cleft lip and palate surgeries and extensive orthodontic treatment, this patient was ready to complete his smile in a way that still felt natural and true to him.
Dr. Antee carefully designed a temporary restoration so the patient and dental lab could preview the shape, color, and overall result before the final bridge was created. The finished porcelain restoration replaced the missing tooth while also recreating the surrounding gum tissue with exceptional care and detail.
Personalized cosmetic dentistry is about respecting each patient’s story and creating a smile that helps them feel more comfortable and confident being themselves.
