CERAMIC VENEER REPLACEMENT |
INITIAL VISIT
|
   |
When this patient entered Esthetic Associates, she was displeased with her smile. She initially received six porcelain veneers which have signs of failure due to fracture.
Patient Objectives:
- Replace fractured veneers
- Increase tooth length and fullness
- Maximize brightness
|
| |
DIAGNOSTIC WAX-UP
|
  |
After establishing correct tooth length, a wax-up was fabricated improving esthetics while adjusting for functional characteristics.
|
| |
PREVIEW
|
 |
Before tooth preparation, a mould was made from the wax-up and placed in the mouth using tooth colored filling material for final patient viewing. This allowed the patient to critique tooth alignment, brightness, character, and incisal effects.
|
| |
FINAL VIEWING
|
   |
Dr. Lasseigne and the patient were able to critique the completed laminates on a solid model prior to cementation. The above photo illustrates the extreme thinness of the veneer thus allowing us to utilize the patients tooth color resulting in a more natural look.
