Smile Gallery: Cosmetic Dentistry

In the before picture, it’s clear to see that the central incisors have lost most of the enamel due to erosion. The teeth are too short and an unpleasant colour, and they make up a disharmonious smile line. After treatment, you can see central incisors restored to aesthetic shape, shade and length with bonded ceramic veneers.

Veneers can dramatically change the look of the smile, as seen in the photographs. What’s more is that patients usually need just a couple of scheduled bookings with our dental clinic to improve the look of their smiles. Ceramic veneers are a durable tooth ...

This patient had developmental defective enamel on central incisors, giving the yellowed and unwanted appearance. We placed two ceramic veneers on the central incisors to correct the smile. The after photo, taken three years after placement, shows the final and long-lasting results.

The before image shows a discoloured resin veneer that is only a few years old. In the after shot, a bonded ceramic veneer is shown. Ceramic does not change colour over time.

As shown in the picture, veneers are made to blend in beautifully with the natural teeth because these wafer-thin tooth covers have a similar translucency to the natural teeth. They can be used to hide a discoloured tooth, as shown, as well as gaps and spaces between the teeth, fractures and chips, wear on the teeth from conditions such as teeth grinding, size discrepancies among the teeth as ...

This patient came to us because she was unhappy with her smile. Together, we decided to change the shape and colour of her upper anterior teeth. You can see the results of four bonded ceramic veneers on central and lateral incisors to give a more even appearance.

The before picture shows a lateral and chipped central incisor. The after picture shows a lateral incisor replaced by an implant-supported all-ceramic crown and composite resin on the central incisor.

Patients do not have to live with the poor aesthetics of a missing tooth or the poor function of having a gap in their bite. Filling in the space with a dental implant or other restoration not only improves the look of the smile, but it can also restore the chewing function. Leaving a gap in the smile also puts the remaining, healthy teeth at risk of shifting to fill ...

The before picture shows a discoloured central incisor and chronic infection that was caused by an old trauma to the tooth. The after pictures shows how root canal therapy and one bonded ceramic veneer hides discolouration and improves the uniformity of teeth.

Whether patients need only one veneer or several, they can hide a number of dental issues in addition to the discolouration showed in the photograph. Veneers are useful for camouflaging a tooth that is misshapen, chipped or gapped, and can provide a way to even out the smile, giving it a more cohesive look.
