This patient hated having short, dark teeth, a gummy smile, and old porcelain bridges on the back teeth.   A cosmetic gumlift and in-office teeth whitening were performed prior to all-porcelain veneers on the upper six front teeth.   These handcrafted veneers were artfully created by our German master ceramist, Cornelia Ferenschuetz.  In fact, the veneers were so thin that no temporaries were necessary.  Our own periodontist and implant specialist, Dr. Mark Margolin, who was voted Texas Best by Texas Dentists, performed the cosmetic gumlift procedure and placed the dental implants to provide seamless, comprehensive care.  After the old, failing bridges were removed, dental implants replaced the missing teeth with new, individual porcelain crowns to give a more natural feel.  A carefully assembled combination of various types of porcelain restorations planned in conjunction with this patient's gum and implant surgeries and teeth whitening allowed for a gorgeous smile makeover.
