The power of a smile!😁Not only he smiles so much more vibrant now, but looks younger too! 🤩✨ I had male patients hesitant to get smile makeovers because “men don’t need to look good like women do” but I absolutely disagree because EVERYONE deserves to have a set of nice teeth!🦷
Peg laterals combined with chromogenic stains has given a suboptimal smile to this patient. With the power of digital smile design, we did two mock-ups for him:
- Veneers modifying peg laterals
- Veneers from 4-4
Patient decided to proceed with 8-unit Emax veneers to better the smile arch as well as improve the shape of his other teeth.
To achieve this result:
In-office Dental Whitening • Smile Design • Mock-Up • Ceramic Veneers
The tricky part to the peg lateral prep is how far back should we extend the margins. We need to give adequate porcelain thickness for best aesthetic outcome as well as patient comfort (no one likes “winged” veneers, thanks to my ceramist’s teaching🙏), so we wrapped the margins a little pass contact point.
Since most of you have asked,I’m using EXOCAD to help with my digital smile design. As “digital” as we can go, it is still important to understand patient’s concern, as well as the essentials of a smile.
Credits go to the ceramist who did an amazing job at creating such beautiful characteristics as well as the translucency that I really REALLY love! 😍
Special thanks to my mentor @hakienoon for always guiding me to better smile makeover cases!
