The smile

03 — Work

The smile

Porcelain is a material. The gum is the frame.

What it is

Most failed veneers fail at the gum, not at the ceramic. Dr. Tetri is a periodontist who also finishes the teeth. Contour is designed with Digital Smile Design, tried in as a mock-up, then cut in feldspathic or zirconia porcelain in the in-house laboratory. If the bite is wrong, porcelain will crack again. We fix the bite first.

For

  • 01

    Wear, chips, or a color that no longer belongs to the face.

  • 02

    Crowns or veneers from elsewhere that the gum has rejected.

  • 03

    A smile that needs length, not only brightness.

  1. 01 — See it on the face

    A digital design, then a mock-up you can wear. Nothing is committed until the lip agrees.

  2. 02 — The gum

    If the frame is uneven or inflamed, it is treated. Veneers are not placed on a red margin.

  3. 03 — The porcelain

    Minimal preparation where the tooth allows. Ceramic that takes light the way enamel does.

Length and light

Brightness is easy. Belonging to the face is the work.
