Before
“I had stopped smiling in photographs years ago. My front teeth were worn and uneven, one was darker than the rest, and I assumed fixing it meant something drastic.”
The plan
The consultation found worn edges, an old discoloured root-treated tooth and mild crowding. The plan was staged: aligners to correct position, whitening, a crown on the dark tooth and veneers on four front teeth. A trial smile showed the result before anything was prepared.
After
“The first thing I did was take a photograph. It looked like me, which is what I had been afraid of losing. Six months later I forget the teeth are there, and that is the whole point.”
