Veneers

Veneers

The primary concerns for this patient included crowding and surface irregularity of the upper teeth. Multiple attempts were made to correct the surface texture of the front teeth, but none was satisfactory. The patient did not want orthodontic treatment (braces), and so the solution presented was to place a porcelain crown on the protruding front tooth and to align the other front teeth with the use of five porcelain veneers.
