Dental Veneers provide an excellent opportunity in order to enhance a patients smile through correction of shape, form and colour. Veneers are mainly of two types..
1.Composite Veneers
2. Ceramic Veneers.
In this case ceramic veneers were chosen as they are known to be more colour stable and life-like over the long run.
Emax or Lithium Disilicate with cut-back and layering approach was used and cemented using Calibra Veneer -Translucent cement which is light cured thus providing complete control of the bonding process.
A biologically oriented tooth preparation was carried through the created mock up in order to maximize the preservation of tooth material.
Bonding to enamel always provides a better chance at long term success of veneers.
The restorative approach is shown through the photographs from shade selection, mock up and final smile..
