Before and Afters
Full Mouth Rehabilitation
Before
This patient had a history of bulimia and severe bruxism (tooth grinding), which had significantly worn down her dentition. As a result of this, the teeth appeared very 'short', and coupled by her gummy smile, our patient needed a solution to restore both function and aesthetics to her smile.
After
Full mouth rehabilitation with all-ceramic restorations. This case was restored with a combination of gum surgery, porcelain veneers, dental crowns (a mixture of partial crowns, full coverage crowns) and a dental implant.

Dental Crown
Before
Existing composite restorations were unaesthetic, teeth appeared 'short' and uneven along the incisal edges. Patient wanted to improve the overall aesthetics of her smile, seeking a nice and natural smile makeover.
After
A course of teeth whitening was completed to improve the shade of the teeth, and then 4 porcelain crowns were fabricated to reinforce strength, and improve the aesthetics of the upper anterior (front) teeth
