“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’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!’.”
