“This patient was extremely unhappy with his smile, primarily
due to the multiple diasthemas that had bothered him all his adult
life. We explored the possibility of opening his vertical dimension
as part of his treatment plan but after seeing diagnostic wax-ups
for diasthema closure with and without opening the VD, the patient
opted for the latter course of action. His teeth were prepared for
16 IPS Empress® veneers (# 14-13-12-11-21-22-23- 24-44-43-42-41-31-32-33-34)
crafted by Aurum Ceramic/Classic’s Advanced Esthetic (AE) Team.
Integrity temporaries were placed until the actual seating day. After
seating, this patient was also willing to wear a night guard to protect
his teeth if grinding re-occurred. This case was seated 3 years ago
and patient is extremely comfortable and satisfied with the result.
He says, ‘It's the best thing I ever did!’.”
