Aesthetic restoration of front teeth with discoloration, old restorations and tooth wear
Complaints:
Irregular shape of the front teeth, uneven enamel color, and the presence of old restorations that disrupted the overall harmony of the smile. Increased wear of the anterior teeth was also noted.
Diagnosis:
Aesthetic defect of the anterior teeth: enamel discoloration, outdated fillings, altered anatomical shape and proportions of the teeth, and increased wear of the anterior teeth.
Treatment:
A comprehensive diagnostic examination was performed, including a photographic protocol, digital tooth scanning with a 3Shape scanner, and computerized occlusal analysis. Based on the findings, a digital smile design was created according to the patient's expectations. After approval of the tooth shape and color, minimal tooth preparation for ceramic restorations was performed, and temporary restorations were placed for the adaptation period. At the final stage, permanent E-Max ceramic veneers were fabricated and bonded, restoring the anatomical shape and proportions of the anterior teeth, eliminating enamel discoloration and the effects of old restorations, and creating a more harmonious, natural, and symmetrical smile.
