VENEERS

Patient was missing her lateral incisors (side front teeth). She previously had bonding on the adjacent teeth to close the gap. The bonding was beginning to chip and discolor. A more reliable option was veneers. When you are trying to close a space by restoring the neighboring teeth, you want to avoid having the teeth appear too wide. Attention was paid to the line angles of the teeth (the parts on the side edges of each tooth that are more prominent) so that when light reflects, the tooth does not appear too wide.
