This patient came to our office looking to enhance her smile. She had slight chipping and wear on her top row of teeth that showed when she smiled. She was also experiencing enamel wear, which gave the lower part of her teeth a translucent look.
After a thorough consultation with Dr. Guy Lewis, she decided to undergo a full smile makeover. Dr. Lewis used laser technology to perform a gingivectomy first. This helped remove the spacing where the patient's gums had pulled away slightly from her teeth. In the future, this will make it easier to clean her teeth during regular appointments. It helps prevent plaque build-up and degradation of the underlying bone structure. The patient also had veneers placed along her upper row of teeth.
As you can see from the images below, she now has a whiter, brighter, more uniform smile. She's very happy with her results and proud to show off her smile.
