Instant Orthodontics with Porcelain Veneers to Correct Crowded, Yellow Teeth by Dr. Huefner

Crowded teeth can many times be corrected with cosmetic dentistry, rather than braces.
John, a gentleman in his 70s, is a great example. He had very crowded and discolored teeth, but had never gotten around to doing anyting about it. Now it was time for him to do something to give him a better and little younger looking smile.

BEFORE

The big questions he asked us was “would we have to pull any of his bottom teeth?” and “would he need braces?” The answer to both questions was “No!”, which was an answer that thrilled him. Here is the result was got for John with porcelain veneers on his lower teeth, and porcelain veneers and a bridge on his upper teeth.

AFTER

Note that no lower teeth were removed. The crowding, color and shape of his lower teeth was corrected with some simple gum recontouring with laser and ten porcelain veneers, which we sometimes call "instant orthodontics". Since his teeth had worn and shortened over the years, we also made his upper teeth a little longer, resulting in a smile that made him look younger.
As you can clearly imagine, he was extremely pleased with the results that we achieved for him and now he beams a great smile everywhere he goes!
