Gold Restoration Removal - Veneer Frenectomy Lasing

This young businessman was tired of having gold restoration material show in his smile.

The gold edging on his anterior teeth, along with the wide gap diastema, he felt, was affecting him in his high visibility career.

His goal was to have evenly sized teeth in his broad smile, with no gaps showing and with no gold present.

Over recent years, especially with the popularity of makeover, celebrity style smiles that the ABC TV Makeover program successfully promoted on television, the patient felt it was time for a change.

The adjacent photo shows very healthy tooth structures that have a large gap between the two main anterior teeth, along with asymetrical gum tissue that is affecting the overal esthetics of other anterior teeth.

The patient's cosmetic goal was to have evenly spaced teeth with gum tissue structures that were harmonious and provided a nice esthetic result for his smile.

Before Picture Gold Restoration Removal Dental Lasers The patient wanted all of the gold restorative material removed which would be replaced with premium porcelain restorative materials that would match the rest of his teeth.

Frenectomies for Adults

During the consultation it was discovered by Dr. Sanderson that the patient could risk problems with his gum tissue pulling away from the new veneers he wanted placed.
