INVISALIGN • KOR WHITENING • CROWN LENGTHENING
When this patient first came to us regarding her concerns with her smile, she believed that veneers were her only option. Many dentists would jump at the chance to complete a lengthy, costly treatment plan. However, here at Dentist of Walnut Creek, Dr. Stephenson believes that sometimes the most conservative options are the best!
Invisalign as an entry point can make a case go from good to great in just a few months. By positioning the teeth properly, we were able to preserve the integrity of the patient’s natural tooth structure while keeping the cosmetic changes as conservative as possible.
After discussing our patients goals, we realized that the teeth themselves were not the complaint, but rather the asymmetric gingival margin (gum line).
It turned out that simple, painless crown lengthening following the 3 months of Invisalign treatment allowed us to fix the asymmetry and give her the smile she’s always wanted!
Using advanced, high-end materials such as the microscope, alongside a sterile technique translates to long-lasting esthetics while saving our patients time and money!
