Smile Evolution
By Dr. Wally Renne
"About 4 years ago I did 3D printed no prep (ZERO Prep) veneers on this patient. The day I placed them I felt they were a bit bulky — back then printers needed 300 microns thickness. But she loved them.
Fast forward 4 years later and we took some follow-up photos. I talked to the patient and explained that she was coming close to the end of the lifecycle of the printed veneers (we tell patients ~5 years). So we converted them to minimum prep zirconia veneers!
She was thrilled, but the pressure was high because she truly loved her printed veneers. We also made some changes to the shape — she wanted “sharper, pointier teeth” and we created the classic shovel-shaped laterals.
What do you guys think?
