Female patient presenting with tooth wear and consecutively disturbed by her short teeth. Patient is a type B personality – hectic. Clenches, therefore resulting in loss of tooth volume. Challenge is to treat healthy teeth in a fully non-invasive approach, eg to not ”touch” or drill them at all, yet to withstand bite forces.
Occlusal surfaces of the posterior are cleaned and primed to help bond with hard composites
With the aid of bonded composites, space is created between upper and lower front teeth. This space is used for the intended elongated veneers. With this manner no drilling is applied
Hybrid composite restorations facilitate maintenance of ideal length. Ultra sensitive and sophisticated protocol employed to secure minimum thickness and to combine robustness and aesthetics in a no-cut-no-drill approach. Patient senses even contacts on her new elongated teeth
New synthesis is considered pleasant and sensual.
Patient is thrilled with her new teeth, whilst her practitioners are a little …restrained, as usual!
