Younger Rejuvenated Smile with Porcelain Veneers

Helen was a bit "age sensitive". Although only in her 40s she felt her smile made her look older than she really was. Her teeth were discolored, she had a old crown on one of her front teeth that didn't match her other teeth, her gums had receded and she had a small gap between her front two teeth.
She was "fed up" and came to see Dr. Huefner to discuss her options with cosmetic dentistry.

Helen felt her smile made her look older than she really was.

Dr. Huefner listened carefully to Helen as she explained her concerns and expectations. Basically she wanted a younger looking smile with whiter teeth. That brought up a very important point....how white did Helen want her teeth to be? Her answer was, "definitely whiter and brighter, but I still want a smile that looks real and doesn't fake or unnatural."
After looking at the photo above with Dr. Huefner, some other points came out. Her teeth were very skinny at the gumline and irregular in proportion to one another.
In order to give Helen the kind of smile that she wanted Dr. Huefner suggest replacing the crown on her front tooth with an all-ceramic crown and then doing porcelain veneers on the other teeth visible in her smile. By doing her cosmetic dentistry that way all the visible upper teeth would be the same color and Dr. Huefner would have the most control over achieving a well proportioned and even looking smile!
Helen agreed with Dr. Huefner's treatment recommendations and her cosmetic dental treatment was completed in three appointments.
