Patient Background
Rena had been a longtime patient of Dr. Ueckert and had a history of teeth grinding, which caused visible wear patterns and attrition over time. In addition to the grinding damage, she had minor crowding that required Invisalign before veneer placement. She wanted a natural, refined smile that wasn’t too bulky, aiming for a softer, more youthful appearance.
Course of Treatment
- Invisalign Treatment – Aligned her teeth and corrected crowding before veneer placement.
- Bite & Wear Analysis – Evaluated grinding patterns to ensure long-term protection of her new veneers.
- Custom Veneer Design – Designed thin, natural-looking veneers to enhance tooth shape and symmetry without bulkiness.
- Porcelain Veneer Placement – Applied durable, stain-resistant veneers to restore a youthful, polished look.
Results
Rena was thrilled with her transformation, experiencing:
- A brighter, youthful smile with natural proportions.
- Stronger teeth, resistant to future grinding wear.
- A more symmetrical, refined appearance.
- Boosted confidence with a vibrant, refreshed look.
