Smile Makeover: Gum Lifting and Porcelain Veneers & Crowns
This kind realtor lady came to us feeling unhappy with the look of her smile. She had older, porcelain veneers on her two front teeth that they partially de-bonded resulting in bacteria leaking under them causing discoloration and decaying her natural teeth. In addition, they didn’t blend naturally with the rest of her teeth, and the surrounding teeth were drifting slightly inward, making her smile look narrower. She had excessive gum tissue covering her teeth making her teeth look small. Her gumline was also uneven, with one front tooth appearing shorter than the other, and the edges of her front teeth were chipped and worn, giving her smile an aged appearance.
To restore balance and create a more youthful look, we performed surgical crown lengthening from tooth #5–13 to even out the gumline and improve her gum-to-tooth ratio. After healing and maturation of her gum while she had Provisionals on her teeth, we designed and placed custom veneers from tooth #5–13 and an implant crown on tooth #4. This not only enhanced the symmetry of her smile but also widened her arch, reducing the excess gum display and creating a fuller, more harmonious appearance.
The result is a brighter, more balanced smile that looks both youthful and natural.
