She came in with one condition: only touch the front six.
Years of wear had aged her smile far beyond her years — and with it, the muscle tension that comes from a bite that’s been fighting itself for decades.
Before we ever touched a veneer, we did something most offices skip entirely: bite equilibration. By carefully balancing her occlusion, we allowed her jaw muscles to truly relax — producing a natural reduction in muscle bulk and tension, similar to what you’d expect from Botox. No injections. Just a bite that finally works the way it’s supposed to.
Then came the real challenge. In cosmetic dentistry, the “Social Six” — six upper front veneers — is one of the most common traps. Most people show 10-12 teeth when they smile. Stop at the canine, and you risk a result that looks finished in the front and foreign everywhere else.
Our in-house lab made the difference. Precision in shade, translucency, and shape allowed six restorations to disappear seamlessly into her full smile — achieving exactly what she asked for, while looking like it was always hers.
Younger. Natural. Hers.
