This gentleman had resin veneers applied 7 years ago and over time they had become very stained and the patient had become very unhappy with the look of his smile. He also wanted to see if it was possible to improve the shape and colour of his teeth so that they gave him a natural whiter smile.

- Restoring Discoloured Veneers
Before: Stained Dental Veneers
After: Clean bright smile
We spent time with the patient carefully planning his treatment and making sure that we understood exactly what it was he wanted once the treatment was complete. 10 porcelain veneers were used to restore the upper 10 front teeth.
About the Treatments that Created this Shiny Natural Looking Smile
Our patient had already experienced resin veneers and because of lifestyle decisions was concerned that they may not be the right solution for him. After careful consideration, Dental Care Professionals worked with the patient to create a treatment plan that would work in with his personal commitments and get him the results he was after.
The final treatment options chosen by the patient were a combination of porcelain veneers and porcelain crowns. This gives our patient a smile that will maintain its shine for 15 years, with greater resistance to staining.
Porcelain Crowns
Porcelain crowns were selected to ensure that the overall smile of our patient maintained the same even natural shine over time as the dental work aged..
The porcelain crowns were applied to the individual teeth that had damaged portions above the gum line and needed to be repaired to give the appearance of whole teeth.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers were chosen for their shine and ability to give our patient an easy to maintain youthful glossy smile that’s longer lasting.
Porcelain veneers need some preparation of each tooth before they can be fitted. Each veneer needs to be custom made to fit each of your teeth exactly which can make this treatment slower to get the overall result you want. It’s also why you’ll need to work with your dentist to establish a treatment plan that fits in with your schedule.
It is important to note that this is a non-reversible procedure, which is why your dentist will want to ensure that you are clear on the dental procedures and how you need to care for your teeth during and after treatment.
Information for You
