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

Dental History: The alignment of this person's teeth is irregular, to the extent that it gives their teeth a ragged appearance. Additionally, the biting edges of the teeth are worn. Some even to the point where they have become thin and have chipped. And then finally, the color of this person's teeth is very yellow.

Cosmetic Dentistry Treatment Plan: The goal of this simulated cosmetic treatment plan will be to lighten the color of the teeth and then give them a more uniform and even appearance. The first step should be some sort of teeth whitening treatments. These could either be performed by the patient at-home or else by their dentist in their office. Whitening treatments should always be performed first so the dentist can know what color the dental work they create will need to match. After a color has been established, the dentist can then place dental crowns (or possibly just porcelain veneers). They will perfect the apparent alignment of the teeth and give them an idealized shape.
