Gap between front teeth

Porcelain Laminate Veneers.

Case Study 5

Problem:

• The large gap between the central incisors is the focus of the face and smile causing embarrassment and a reluctance to smile.

• Simply adding material to the central incisors would make these teeth look too wide creating an unesthetic appearance.

Solution:

• A temporary tooth coloured material is placed in a matter of minutes to allow visualisation of the smile without a gap prior to initiating treatment.
  
  
• A diagnostic cosmetic waxup is completed to establish proper tooth size and to function as a prototype of the final treatment.
  
  
• Provisional veneers are placed to confirm the accuracy of the cosmetic waxup and any necessary adjustments are made.
  
  
• Four porcelain laminate veneers are placed. The spacing is natural and the smile beautiful.
