Case #2
Treatment Details::
10 Non- Metal Crowns
Cosmetic Laser Gum Sculpting
4 Metal Free Restorations
Smile Lift (Non-Surgical Face Lift)
Desires and How We Did It:
Lynn had a bad childhood with dental experiences, and would like a beautiful smile. “It has to be natural. That’s very important to me. I do not want to change too much because my husband loves me just the way I am”.
Realizing the patient wanted a change but not too much, we had her test drive and wear her new temporaries (which were shaped to her liking) to get her approval. Next she met with the ceramist (lab technician) personally. We crowned all teeth in her smile zone using Empress (non-metal) crowns to achieve her cosmetic goals. Upper cosmetic (esthetic) gum contouring was achieved to level soft tissue architecture with our gentle laser. Other detailed smile design objectives were to close spaces, align teeth and create a fuller smile by filling out the sides of her smile (buccal corridors) with her newly fabricated esthetic crowns. We used a harmonious aesthetic color blend to achieve a warm natural appearance and anatomy (texture) to refract the light properly.
Testimonial:
After so many unpleasant dental experiences as a child, I kept putting off having the smile I’ve always dreamed of. A friend had recommended me to Dr. Koeppel. I did some research on my own and agreed that I would be in good hands with Dr. Koeppel. Now that my treatment has been completed the only regret I have is having waited so long.
