Figure 48: The final result — not a bad smile for a guy who told
me he hasn’t smiled for the last 30 years. This type of patient really
does need some coaching to learn to smile again, and I encourage
them to practice in front of the mirror, as silly as that sounds. To me,
it’s not that different from physical therapy, where a patient needs
to re-learn a physical skill that they haven’t been able to do for an
extended period of time. With this patient, I am already wondering
what I will do if he wants to do the lower arch as well. I’m not a big
fan of doing full crowns on lower anterior teeth and typically prefer
veneers, but I’m not sure whether BruxZir veneers will block out
the dark shades. If he opts for this treatment, you will see it here.
Stay tuned! CM
