Porcelain Laminate or Composite Laminate?
Why Are Color, Shape, and Symmetry Harmony Important in Dental Aesthetics? In smile design, achieving harmony in color, shape, and symmetry is key to creating a natural, balanced appearance. Discrepancies can make even healthy teeth look unattractive. Factors considered: • Matching the veneers or crowns to the natural tooth color and shape • Ensuring proportionate tooth sizes relative to facial features • Aligning teeth for overall symmetry This careful planning ensures the smile enhances the patient’s overall facial aesthetics.
A night guard is a custom-made device worn over teeth at night to: • Prevent tooth damage from grinding or clenching • Alleviate jaw tension and headaches related to bruxism Individuals with teeth grinding, jaw pain, or those who have had restorative dental work are often advised to use a night guard.
What Are the Early Signs of Gum Disease?
Laminate veneers may not be suitable for individuals with: • Severe tooth misalignment or bite issues • Insufficient enamel • Habitual teeth grinding (unless managed with a night guard) • Active gum disease A thorough dental examination is necessary to determine veneer suitability.
