Smile Transformation with Porcelain Veneers and Whitening
A Case by Dr. Ilaty at Surrey Dental Spa
Before and after results from one of our smile makeover cases, completed by Dr. Ilaty at Surrey Dental Spa. This treatment beautifully demonstrates how combining porcelain veneers with professional whitening can restore harmony, brightness, and confidence to a smile affected by misalignment and discolouration.
Initial Presentation
The patient attended Surrey Dental Spa seeking to improve the appearance of their smile. Their main concerns included:
• Misalignment: Uneven positioning of the upper front teeth disrupting overall symmetry.
• Discolouration: Long-term staining and dullness resistant to standard whitening methods.
• Aesthetic refresh: A desire for a more youthful, balanced, and natural-looking smile.
After a comprehensive consultation appointment and digital smile design, a tailored treatment plan was put together to address both aesthetic and functional needs while maintaining a conservative approach, which the patient wished for.
Treatment Approach
To achieve an optimal and lasting outcome, the treatment plan included:
• Placement of ten tailor -made porcelain veneers on the upper arch to refine alignment, shape, and shade.
• Professional whitening of the lower arch to enhance brightness and ensure a consistent colour balance across the entire smile.
Each veneer was crafted to complement the patient’s facial features, resulting in a natural and proportionate enhancement.
Clinical Process
1. Smile Design and Assessment:
Digital smile analysis was carried out to determine the ideal proportions and alignment before treatment commenced.
2. Wax up and visual try: Where the patient gets to try on their new smile before the real thing is cemented
3. Tooth Preparation:
Minimal enamel reduction was performed to preserve natural tooth structure while creating the perfect surface for bonding.
4. Provisional Stage:
Temporary veneers were placed, allowing the patient to preview their new smile and provide feedback on shape and appearance.
5. Final Veneer Placement:
The ten porcelain veneers were custom-fabricated and bonded using advanced adhesive techniques, providing strength and durability.
6. Lower Arch Whitening:
A professional whitening treatment was applied to lift the shade of the lower teeth, completing the transformation with a bright, even finish.
Outcome
The completed smile displays exceptional symmetry, improved alignment, and a naturally radiant tone. The veneers integrate seamlessly with the surrounding teeth, creating a refreshed yet subtle aesthetic.
This case exemplifies Dr. Ilaty’s commitment to delivering outstanding cosmetic dentistry through meticulous planning, precision technique, and a focus on long-term beauty and function.
