The chip you see at rest
A chip on a front tooth can show even when the lips are relaxed, not only in a wide smile. The relaxed-lip photo is where this chip shows most clearly: a front edge is chipped and uneven, and it shows in conversation, not just in a posed smile.
Dr. Khan treated this smile with eight porcelain veneers, from premolar to premolar. The lower teeth were not veneered.
Why this smile included eight teeth
Eight veneers are not always the better plan. Some chips are treated with bonding, or with veneers on fewer teeth. For this smile, stopping at the four front teeth could have left a jump in shade or length at the corners. The canines and first premolars were included so the upper teeth you see when you smile could be designed as a set.
The three photos show a full smile, a close-up, and the relaxed lip line where the chip was most obvious.
