Patient Story 1: Comprehensive Bite Restoration
One of Dr. Wolberg’s most memorable dental veneer transformations involved a patient who had significant occlusal wear and TMJ joint problems. Her teeth had become almost flat over the years due to clenching and grinding.
“This patient’s transformation was not just about aesthetics but also about restoring her bite to a healthy position using crowns and veneers,” Dr. Wolberg explains.
The journey was challenging, especially since the patient had considerable dental anxiety. Facing the prospect of getting about 15 crowns and veneers for her entire upper arch, she was understandably nervous. However, with the help of Ativan, which Dr. Wolberg prescribed for her dental appointments, she was able to move through each dental appointment without fear or anxiety.
After the transformation, not only did this patient’s bite improve, but her smile was restored to its natural beauty. A family member even remarked that her smile looked just like it did in high school, affirming the natural and youthful appearance of her new smile. She even brought in a high school photo to show the similarity, a moment Dr. Wolberg recalls as “pretty cool to see.”
Patient Story 2: Porcelain Veneer Transformation
Another patient’s journey of dental transformation began before she decided she wanted to pursue porcelain veneers. Before coming to Dr. Wolberg for dental veneers, she underwent comprehensive orthodontic treatment and gum surgery. Completing this orthodontic groundwork, she came to Cedarwood Dentistry ready for the final touch to her smile, which Dr. Wolberg achieved through the use of porcelain veneers.
Prior to the veneer application, this patient proactively whitened her teeth to ensure the veneers matched her desired shade. The result was a seamless and beautiful transformation.
Dr. Wolberg recalls her excitement, “She was so happy with her new smile, she’s already planning to return for the bottom veneers.”
Patient Story 3: Single Veneer for a Darkened Tooth
In a unique case, a patient was self-conscious about a darkened tooth that always stood out to her in photos she saw of herself. The tooth itself was a little crooked and cast a shadow whenever she smiled for the camera, creating the appearance of a darkened tooth.
Investigating the issue, Dr. Wolberg recommended a dental veneer transformation in which he would craft a single porcelain veneer to correct the appearance of the tooth.
“We aimed for a solution that was both aesthetic and minimally invasive,” he explains.
The patient was involved in the decision-making process and chose the veneer path for a quicker and less invasive solution compared to other treatments. Dr. Wolberg also performed a chairside mock-up using composite material, giving her a preview of the final result during her consultation. The patient’s satisfaction with the final result was evident, showcasing how a single veneer can significantly enhance a person’s smile and confidence.
