Stacy had gaps in between her front six teeth that were filled in with dental bonding. Due to the fact that the bonding was under contoured, her gum papilla (the triangles) were always too big. Also, she wasn’t showing enough teeth in the corners of her mouth resulting in negative space.
Whiten teeth, remove all bonding and replace with porcelain veneers.
At our Lincoln Park dental practice we whitened all of her teeth and then removed old bonding, replacing this with veneers on her front eight teeth.
Note, gum triangles were decreased to more appropriate sizes, teeth were whiter, and the negative space was reduced by building out the canine and premolar teeth. Note the subtle characterizations created in the porcelain to make the teeth lifelike.
