Questions have arisen on which is better dental veneers or orthodontics? The questions has no simple answer and it varies from patient to patient.

Combining Orthodontics and Dental Veneers

There are certain times where a combination of both orthodontics and Dental veneers are in order. Cosmetic dentistry involves at times the use of several different modalities to treat each case. These tend to be complex cases that can take time but the outcome is worth it. In most instances the teeth are moved into their "ideal" position and then dental veneers are fabricated. As an example teeth stained by tetracycline can be very gray or brown in color. Teeth whitening or bleaching may or may not help. Dental veneers may be the best alternative.

Case Evaluation: C0smetic dentistry

The following case is one of the many cosmetic cases our Lone Tree dentists have addressed over the years. We use actual cases and not stock photographic files.

In the cosmetic dentistry case highlighted in this article there were many ways to address this situation and include but are not limited to:

• Do nothing i.e. leave as is
• Orthodontically move the teeth especially the central incisors over and replace the two front porcelain and metal crowns with all porcelain dental crowns
• Use Invisalign to move the teeth and restore as mentioned above
• Replace the front porcelain and metal crowns with all- porcelain dental crowns. This solution would solve the dark metal outline but the width of the two front teeth would be excessive.
• Take the space between the two front teeth and add with to the "lateral incisors" making the front teeth... the central incisors appear to be narrower in width.
• Utilize more that four (4) teeth to balance the spaces out (this was our choice)
  

As you can see in the photograph below there is a space between the two front teeth that was addressed with porcelain crowns many years ago. The cosmetic up -close look is less that ideal but was considered very acceptable for its time. What our Lone Tree cosmetic dentists decided to do was to widen the lateral incisors so filling in the space between the two front teeth would be more proportional. The space and color was extended over to the canine teeth to give a better blend.
