Smile Makeover • This patient started with a white smile, but we used veneers to improve upon more than just color.

She had existing #veneers on the front teeth. Unfortunately the proportions were off and there was no balance in the smile. With gum contouring and 10 #porcelainveneers, we enhanced her natural #beauty with a fuller smile that’s in harmony with her facial structure.
