Composites

J J, was a 42 year old woman who presented after wanting something done to her front teeth. Although they had never given her problems, they were unsightly and slightly crooked. Her main concern was that she didn't want crowns as she didn't feel comfortable having her teeth ground down. The cost of crowns also put them well out of her reach. We decided that composite veneers would be the most practical option in her case.
This shows the case before any work was carried out. A thorough examination was carried out, including radiographs (x-rays) and study models. This is to make sure that the teeth are healthy enough for cosmetic treatment and that the bite was suitable for the placement of veneers. If the bite interferes with the veneers, they won't last as long.
After the composites are placed, polishing and shaping of the composites is carried out. The picture on the right shows the composite veneers after placement but before polishing. Although the picture quality is poor, you can see the added bulk of the composites in place.
This picture shows the veneers after polishing. If you are interested in finding out more about veneers a question and I'll try my best to answer your query!
