A cosmetic dentistry smile makeover simulation illustrating the use of teeth whitening, dental crowns and/or porcelain veneers.

Dental History: This person's picture gives the impression that their teeth and gums are healthy. It's simply the spacing between their teeth (especially the upper ones) that produces cosmetic disharmony.

Cosmetic Dentistry Treatment Plan: Our after picture illustrates how the placement of dental crowns (or possibly dental veneers) could be used to make changes with this person's smile. ( What is the difference between porcelain veneers and dental crowns? ) The size (primarily the width) of each of the center four upper teeth has been changed by the crowns so to fill in each diastema ("gap") that lies between them. This change gives this person's smile a more even appearance. We have also illustrated how placing a dental crown on one lower right tooth could also help to produce a more uniform look. (Of course the dentist performing the work would first have to evaluate this person's bite so to determine if what we have suggested would be possible.)
     The "before" picture possibly shows that there is a color discrepancy between this person's upper and lower teeth. If so this person might choose to perform an at-home teeth whitening process so to lighten the color of their upper teeth.
