Combo Crowns & Laminates

 

This patient came to us with noticeable gum recession affecting their upper front teeth. They had already been advised that they needed periodontal (gum) surgery, which would improve their oral health but could lead to even more gum tissue loss. After the gum treatment was completed and healing had occurred, we created a plan to restore both the health and appearance of the patient’s smile.

To do this, we placed crowns (full tooth coverings) on the upper right molar and two nearby premolars (#3, #4, and #5), as well as the upper right canine (#6). On the left side, we restored the two upper premolars (#12 and #13) with crowns as well. For the five front teeth (#7–#11), which are most visible when smiling, we used porcelain veneers—thin, custom-made shells that cover the front surface of the teeth.

At the following appointment, all 11 restorations (6 crowns and 5 veneers) were carefully placed and bonded. The result was a healthier, more beautiful smile that addressed both function and esthetics.
