"Lisa never liked the appearance of her teeth, and as a result it was difficult to coax a "before" smile from her. She did not like to be photographed, due to a long-term childhood aversion to showing her teeth. Orthodontics was not an option when she was younger, and she vigorously declined a referral at this time.

Lisa was pleased with the color of her teeth following home-tray whitening, and with the appearance of the posterior teeth. A lower cuspid was reshaped, and then four Porcelain Veneers were used to create a more harmonious smile. A full diagnosis and evaluation was first done, which was necessary to accomplish this “instant orthodontics” result.

Lisa works in the tourism industry, and she is now easily prone to display a wider, more relaxed and natural smile. Her broader, more confident smile has developed much more over time than in the one-week post-op photo enclosed. Lisa remains excited about the change this has made in her life."
