Laser gum reshaping and porcelain veneers

Karen: Karen presented with a common situation that we see among many people seeking smile makeovers. Her teeth were crooked, she had some spaces or gaps and she did not like the color. After examination, Dr. Canto also noted that Karen had what is called a reverse smileline. A great smile should follow the curve of the lower lip and fill in the space surrounded by the lips or what we call the buccal corridor. This is what gives those full “Hollywood” smiles to the stars. Dr. Canto first spent the time to get to know Karen’s desires and evaluate her personality traits, facial structures and simply connect with her to successfully design the smile that would fit Karen individually. After minor Laser gum reshaping to ensure the best results, Dr. Canto prepared the 8 upper teeth for porcelain veneers. On the day of preparation our patients leave with gorgeous, hand sculpted temporaries made by Dr. Canto, that simulate what the final veneers will look like. Karen was so excited to look incredible the same day of treatment and that she could “test drive” her new smile. Once the veneers were skillfully and artistically made by one of our Master Ceramists (please see information regarding our laboratory team), Dr. Canto bonded the veneers with top materials for greatest success. By straightening, lengthening and whitening her smile with porcelain veneers, Karen now enjoys the radiant smile that truly fits her age and personality.   Before After
