Cosmetic dentistry requires knowledge and artistry to mimic mother nature. In the before and after pictures in cosmetic dentistry and above, the patient was interested in fixing one front tooth, and match the exact color. One front tooth is one of the most challenging tasks in cosmetic practice.
Our Beverly Hills master ceramist was able to match not only the shape but also the color perfectly. The preparation of the tooth, by the cosmetic dentist, is of utmost importance to predict the room required for the aesthetic dentistry lab to complete the restoration to perfection, and at the same time conserve tooth structure.
The art of performing these procedures requires an experienced cosmetic dentist to know about macro aesthetics and micro aesthetics and have the goal in mind prior to starting the preparation of the individual teeth.
The width to length ratio of each tooth must be measured, the relation of each tooth to the adjacent tooth must be kept in mind.
The ideal ratio must be 1.6:1 so the smile will look pleasing, in most cases the width of each individual tooth must be 75 to 80 percent of the length, the emergence profile of each individual teeth must be so that the upper teeth follow the lower lip, and the color of the individual teeth must be pleasing to the skin tone, and the whites of the eyes.
The gaps must be corrected so teeth do not look wide or narrow, symmetry and also imperfections must be designed, keeping the individuality of each tooth to participate a role to design a pleasing smile as a whole.
As you can see above, the smile design was done so a mediocre smile was turned into a perfect smile. The color of the smile is discretionary, and the patient above requested to have a natural pearly smile with translucency.
The smile was perfected with feldspathic porcelain veneers customized with incisal translucency to mimic a naturally white smile. The overall result and the emotional lift for the patient were priceless.
