Anna had worn her teeth down over the years and was increasingly becoming self conscious about her smile. Her teeth also had spaces between them and they were much darker than when she was younger. She is a successful businesswoman and realized that her appearance is important when dealing with people. What could she do to improve her smile and look younger and more professional?
Anna's smile and teeth before cosmetic dentistry
When a new patient comes in for a cosmetic dentistry consultation the most important thing that a cosmetic dentist can do is carefully listen to their concerns. What is it they want? What don't they like about their teeth and smile? Why are they wanting cosmetic dentistry? Why do they want it now, as opposed to earlier or later? What color teeth do they want? How does their teeth and smile effect them with business or interpersonal relationships? Do they only want a minimal improvement or high expectations, wanting an absolutely perfect smile? There are many questions that are asked to the new patient and Dr. Huefner spent considerable time discussing these things with Anna.
It was ultimately realized that Anna wanted a younger, more feminine smile. Teeth that would help her look her very best. And yes, she did want a "perfect smile" if that could be achieved.
Weighing all her conerns and the condition of her teeth and mouth, Dr. Huefner recommended porcelain veneers for Anna's upper and lower teeth. He strongly felt that would be the most conservative way of achieving her goals of obtaining a "perfect smile". At that time she wasn't sure if she wanted to do all her front teeth, so left being undecided. She felt this was a big decision, so she consulted with several other cosmetic dentists before deciding to go forward with Dr. Huefner's recommendations.
Anna's new smile after porcelain veneers and cosmetic dentisry by Dr. Huefner
Dr. Huefner treated Anna in three phases. First the upper front ten veneers were placed. The second phase was doing the lower ten veneers. The final phase was restoring several of her back teeth. The end result for Anna was excellent, as all her objectives were achieved and she was extremely happy with her new smile.
