Fig 4 Fig 8 Fig 5 Fig 9 The initia l point of contact wa s recorded and mounted models made for a full assessment. After assessment some minor tweaks demonstrated that with some composite addition and slight adjustment, the interferences could be removed. We also discussed the crowded lower arch and the slight imbalance to the gingival margin caused by the slightly misaligned upper centrals however the patient did not want to align these teeth. This was disappointing as it is known that the narrowing of the lower arch will likely get worse with time. This was highlighted to the patient before commencing treatment and would have corrected the slight gingival discrepancy but again this did not concern the patient. After discussion with the patient it was decided that with the occlusal adjustments, some new veneers (all materials discussed including composite and Emax veneers were opted for) following a good protocol would give the result the patient was looking for. Stage 1 Fig 6 Fig 10 Fig 7 Fig 11 Fig 12 12 MAY 2018 // dentaltownuk.com A diagnostic wax up (via facially generated treatment planning) was made allowing for a 'trial smile' in the mouth to ensure the patient was happy with the proposed cosmetics. Once this was correct a simple alginate was taken (although today I would likely take a Trios scan or similar). This allows the laboratory to know the final aesthetic result desired for the final veneers. This is an important stage to ensure that the dentist, the lab and the patient know the proposed shape of the final restorations before you have begun. Much conversation was had with the patient about the finish to her veneers since her natural teeth have multiple white patches and individual characterisation. The patient however specifically requested not to mimic these aesthetics in her new veneers. This was another benefit of the trial smile as it allowed her to have a better idea of what the proposed finish would look like.
