What was the patient’s concern?
This Bedford Dental Group patient, a woman with discolored teeth and two existing veneers that did not match the rest of her smile, wanted to refresh her smile. Her goal was a result that looked white but still natural.
What did the examination find?
Alongside the discoloration and the two mismatched veneers she came in about, Dr. Daniel Naysan’s examination found minor crowding that the patient had not mentioned.
What options were considered, and why porcelain veneers?
Dr. Naysan walked this patient through every scope of treatment, from the smallest change to the largest. They discussed teeth whitening combined with replacing the existing veneers to match, replacing only the two existing veneers, veneering the front four, eight or ten upper teeth, and extending treatment to the lower teeth. She chose 20 porcelain veneers covering ten upper and ten lower teeth, because she wanted every tooth in her smile zone to match.
How was the treatment carried out?
Dr. Naysan completed the 20 veneers (#4–13 and #20–29), made by Beverly Hills Dental Lab, in two main visits over about two weeks. The shade was chosen in a custom shade session with the ceramist that included the patient in the decision, arriving at a combination of 0M3 and 1M1. She also wore provisional veneers and gave feedback on the design before the final porcelain was made. See the full porcelain veneer process.
What made this case difficult?
Key point
Dr. Naysan considered this a straightforward case with no complicating factors.
The planning question was scope: how many teeth to treat so the two replaced veneers, the discolored natural teeth and the minor crowding resolved into one even smile.
What was the result?
Dr. Naysan describes the outcome of this case as mainly cosmetic. The two mismatched veneers were replaced and the discolored natural teeth were treated in the same plan, for 20 new porcelain veneers in total, in the shade the patient helped choose.
How long will it last, and what upkeep does it need?
Dr. Naysan expects these feldspathic porcelain veneers to last about 20 years. He recommends a night guard and an evaluation every six months. Lifespan varies from patient to patient with home care, bite forces and regular dental visits. Read veneer aftercare guidance.
How long did the treatment take?
This 20-veneer replacement case took two main visits over about two weeks at Bedford Dental Group in Beverly Hills.
Is this treatment right for you?
This treatment suits someone looking for a white, bright, natural smile whose existing veneers do not match their natural teeth. Someone who is happy with the color of their natural teeth may only need the mismatched veneers replaced, a smaller treatment Dr. Naysan also offered this patient. See how many veneers you may need.
