  1. 1

    Starting point

    Worn, discoloured front teeth that no longer matched the patient's smile — and, found during focal screening, a chronically inflamed root-treated premolar. The hidden focus was removed with our biological protocol (ozone treatment) and the site regenerated with a PRF fibrin membrane.

    The full picture

    The retracted view shows the wear and uneven edges across the front region. The new smile was designed first: laser whitening set the target shade, a wax-up modelled the five front teeth, and temporaries let the patient live with the design before anything final was made.

    Pressed ceramic up close

    IPS e.max pressed ceramic crowns on the front teeth — metal-free, translucent like natural enamel — completed towards the premolars with metal-free zirconia restorations and a pressed ceramic onlay.

    The new smile

    A bright, natural front region in harmony with the face — protected long-term with a custom night splint.
