Composite v.s. Ceramic Veneers, which team are you on? If you’re interested to see me share the clinical flow in my stories, lemme know down below.🤗
Patient had her pre-existing composite veneers done elsewhere, and requested for a change due to chipping issues & to better the appearance of the veneers.
Her composite veneers were pretty satisfactory in terms of appearance, but we decided to give her a fuller smile arch with gingivectomy & 8-unit Ceramic Crowns and Veneers.
To achieve this result:
Gingivectomy • Smile Design • Mock-Up • Ceramic Veneers
One of the question I get the most is when to decide whether to go for crown or veneer prep when the tooth is vital. My answer? Think like a ceramist. Imagine where your margins are going to end, and whether the ceramic thickness is adequate to achieve the tooth shape desired. (I’ve learned this from one of the best ceramist!)
In this case, we’ve done Emax crowns from her 12-22 due to multiple large interproximal restorations as well significant increase in tooth length. The rest are veneers as we intend to reduce her buccal corridor, hence minimal prep is achievable.
Ceramic veneers are definitely more time & energy consuming but the outcome is definitely more aesthetic & long-lasting than composite veneers! ✨In the end of the day, when a patient is able to smile happily, it’s all that matters!
