This patient attended our Glasgow dental practice complaining of the poor appearance from his old NHS crowns. He was also unhappy with the shape, angle and alignment of other front teeth.

In addition to this the patient was extremely worried about the soft, brown areas at the bottom of his upper canines (eye teeth).

These are what dentists refer to as hypoplastic areas, often causes by an illness during tooth development as a child, before the teeth erupt into the mouth.

Dental Crowns and Porcelain Veneers

After a lengthy consultation, it was decided to replace the two old crowns with ceramic or zirconium crowns with a more cosmetically enhanced appearance to block out the ‘dead’ and dark substructure.

In addition to this, the patient elected to have four (minimal preparation) porcelain veneers on adjacent incisors and canines.

The Final Cosmetic Result

The veneers corrected the shapes and alignment issues highlighted by the patient at the consultation. The total cost of the cosmetic dentistry in this case was £2180 (two ceramic crowns plus four porcelain veneers).
