The Art of Matching Porcelain Veneers

Perfectly Matched Porcelain Bridge and Porcelain Veneers!
Her wedding date was rapidly approaching and she wanted a beautiful smile for the big day. She disliked her bridge that looked fake and miss-matched and she felt that her teeth were too dark. A whiter smile and a bridge that looked natural was what she hoped to achieve.
Re-Proportioning Teeth for a Balanced Smile
After discussing her goals with Dr. Muslin he also recommended re-proportioning some of the teeth to achieve better balance. Her gumline was uneven and too low on some of her teeth which left them looking too small. Re-proportioning teeth can add symmetry to your smile that is more aesthetically appealing.
She decided to replace her bridge and re-proportion all of her upper teeth with veneers. There were a few places where her gumline was too low on the tooth. As a consequence, those particular teeth appeared short and uneven. To create a more level transition from the gum to the tooth, Dr. Muslin did a minor gum surgery that raised the height of the gumline. This made her smile less "gummy" and more symmetrical.
Matching Natural Lower Teeth to Porcelain Upper Teeth
After selecting a much whiter color for her upper teeth her lower teeth had to be included in the treatment plan. Her lower teeth were already sized fairly well so she was able to leave them natural. To achieve a color match between the porcelain veneers and the lower natural teeth she completed a custom bleaching system. This allowed her to keep her healthy lower teeth intact and still have a beautiful smile.

In just two office visits, Dr Muslin created a bridge that looked totally natural and that met the gumline perfectly. The porcelain of the upper teeth and the color of the natural lower teeth are a great match. Her smile is now balanced and vibrant!
