This lady came to visit us on a recommendation. Her lateral incisor teeth had not developed on both sides, so she had two dental bridges fitted at age 18 to have a fixed measure in her mouth to mask her two missing teeth. The two missing lateral incisor teeth were bridged off with crowns held on by her canine teeth.
21 years on, she felt that the gum had receded over time, and she did not like the appearance of the grey line because of this. She also wanted her smile to be whiter, as she felt the shade of her teeth had darkened over time.
After in-depth planning and discussions with this lady, we started her case by whitening all her natural teeth using our high-quality tray whitening system. We then took off the old bridges and, using the art of smile design, replaced them with new cosmetic bridges that matched her whiter shade. To finish her smile makeover, we used composite bonding by adding to the upper right central incisor tooth to improve its overall appearance.
This lady was delighted with the results, saying that the finished result exceeded her expectations and that she has more confidence when smiling!
