Treatment completed at Lush Dental Studio, Sacramento. Individual results vary.
A crack, and a small gap
A line in a front tooth is hard to ignore, especially if there is also a small gap. In the close-up, one of the two front teeth has a visible crack. There is also a small space between those teeth, and the four front teeth do not share one shade or a smooth edge line.
Porcelain veneers can cover cosmetic craze lines. They are not a treatment for a structural crack in the tooth. If a crack is deeper, we plan around that first.
Why this smile used four veneers
Treating only the cracked tooth can leave a single new tooth that does not match the three next to it, and it would not close the gap in proportion. For this smile, four porcelain veneers let Dr. Khan cover the line, close the space, and even the shade and edges as a set. The canines in these photos are the patient's own teeth.
