Cosmetic Dentistry is an artform. The astute cosmetic dentist will have training with more than one type of porcelain veneer and understand how to utilize these in different types of cases.
Dr. Konig explains, ” No two smiles should be alike. When planning cosmetic dental care, the most conservative plans should be discussed with the patients. In some cases, prep less or no-prep veneers can be used. This requires a thorough evaluation that includes lip form, size of the teeth, gum line, and even lip posture.”
The following case shows how this can be accomplished and the beautiful results.
After: Custom veneer design: no prep porcelain veneers
Before: side view, note the irregular and chipped teeth
Note how beautiful results can be acheived with prep less veneers, no grinding and no shots. The teeth were designed to create a natural appearance with translucence as desired by the patient. The front teeth were lengthening to proper lip composure and display of the teeth during his smile. The contours were designed for a more masculine smile, this includes the texture on the veneers.
The texture and anatomy on the veneers helps create a natural light reflection.Many times the side view is overlooked, Dr. Konig shapes and designs the teeth to look natural from all directions.
