Saw an interesting case a few days ago. Lady had been told by a local ‘cosmetic’ dentist she needs a slew of veneers and was looking for a second opinion. She didn’t like the spacing or positioning of her teeth and was concerned with the difference in the level of the gum tissue around her front teeth. After examining and photographing her teeth I determined there was NO reason to have veneers. The teeth were perfectly healthy with no fillings or excessive wear. They were the correct ’size’ and proportion. A few months with Invisalign braces, a trip to the gum specialist for a slight alteration in her tissue heights, and some whitening (or bleaching) is all she needed. She’s heading to see the orthodontist to get started!
How many times would she have been told she needs veneers, when some ‘minor’ tooth movement is all that is necessary?
