Porcelain Veneers: Discover the Secret of Perfect Teeth

Wafer-thin porcelain veneers are coverings for your natural teeth, which help to improve, colour, shape, appearance and inclination of anterior teeth.

The patient below was not happy with his teeth for several reasons:

• The inward inclination of his teeth
• The colour and shape of the veneer on his top left second incisor tooth
• The fact that his teeth did not show when he smiled

Dr Little placed temporary veneers on his front teeth and adjusted them to fit in with his smile, which was naturally higher on one side (photo 2).

When both Dr Little and the patient were happy with the aesthetics, and function during speech and chewing of the temporary veneers, the replacement permanent porcelain veneers were made to match.
