Porcelain Bridge and Veneers

Prior to treatment this patient was very shy and withdrawn due to her poor smile. These close-ups show a combination of Fortress veneers and Mirage bridge porcelain. Two very unique porcelain systems were used to create balance between these teeth. Many times when veneers and bridges are done together the final color match can be hard to achieve. The Fortress veneers used on these front teeth are the most "translucent veneers" available today. The transluceny of this porcelain creates the most lifelike looking teeth. Fortress Porcelain is the most esthetic, translucent porcelain available on the market, but only few labs can produce great results with it. Myron's Dental Lab in Kansas City produced this dental work to match so wonderfully. The missing tooth was replaced with a bonded Mirage bridge, reinforced by precious metal. When we cemented ("glued") these teeth permanently we paid careful attention to the color of the cement and the technique used to make sure that no changes in the color would be seen immediately, or after a few years. Stability is the key to making this dental work last a lifetime. The results are quite spectacular, as can been seen in the very alluring after photo. After her dental reconstruction, the patient's personal outlook and personality underwent significant change.... becoming more outgoing and smiling all day long. She even changed her hairdresser!
