From insecurity to a confident smile: transformation with zirconia crowns and veneers

A patient came to AM Estética Dental with a desire she had been postponing for years: to change the aesthetics of her smile. The problem was clear: the crowns and bridge she had were not satisfying her. The color, size, and shape were not ideal, and this made her close her mouth every time she smiled.\n\nIn a short time, we performed a comprehensive treatment that included zirconia crowns on the upper jaw, a zirconia bridge on teeth 23, 24, and 26, veneers on the lower jaw, and Z100 A1 composite to complete the harmony. The goal was to restore her confidence and the smile she deserved.\n\nThe result speaks for itself: a brighter smile with harmonious proportions and a natural color that allows her to smile freely. That change she postponed for years finally came, and in less time than she imagined.

Harmonious smile with 20 ceramic veneers in both arches

A patient came to AM Estética Dental seeking to improve the overall harmony of his smile. He had restorations from several years ago and crowding in the lower arch that affected the aesthetics of his front teeth. We created a personalized aesthetic plan that included tooth preparation and placement of 20 ceramic veneers in both arches. The result was a balanced, harmonious smile with a natural appearance. The treatment corrected alignment as well as color and shape uniformity, achieving the aesthetic transformation he was looking for.
