Unbelievable Smile Makeover with Porcelain Veneers for Gerald by Dr. Huefner

Gerald is a very shy, kind and soft-spoken man. He was at a point in his life that he realized that it was time for some self-improvement and his teeth and smile were some of the things that were holding him back. He was changing careers and dating and realized that he had to get his smile in shape. A year ago Dr. Huefner had done a smile makeover for one of Gerald's friends, and Gerald wanted to consult with Dr. Huefner to see if he was a candidate for cosmetic dentistry and porcelain veneers.

BEFORE COSMETIC DENTISTRY: Gerald knew it was time that he did something about the appearance of his teeth and smile.

At his cosmetic dentistry consultation Dr. Huefner asked Gerald what he wanted to change about his smile. His answer was that he wanted a great smile, and would leave it to Dr. Huefner to create the best smile possible for him. Usually patient's aren't as trusting as Gerald and want more input into the design of the porcelain veneers.

One of the things that Dr. Huefner had to find out from Gerald was "how white" did he want his teeth? After all, his teeth were very dark and Dr. Huefner wanted to make sure that Gerald would feel comfortable having his teeth made several shades whiter. Again, Gerald said he would leave it up to Dr. Huefner.

Dr. Huefner said he appreciated Gerald's confidence, but he had to make sure that Gerald approved of the color before doing his cosmetic dentistry. The solution to this was for Dr. Huefner to create temporary veneers of Gerald in the size, length, shape and color that Dr. Huefner thought would look best. Then Dr. Huefner would place the temporary veneers, or "trial smile", on Gerald's teeth and let him "test drive" the new smile before fabricating the permanent porcelain veneers for him. This was done and Gerald loved the design created for him and the permanent porcelain veneers were then crafted by Dr. Huefner's master ceramist Dave Stohlman.

As you might imagine, Geral was absolutely thrilled with his smile makeover with porcelain veneers. Not only did he look healthier and more professional, but people also commented that he looked 10 years younger!
