Worn Teeth Fixed with Composite Veneers

Poor aesthetics can relate to poor function. The aim in all reconstructive dentistry is to develop treatment plans to help to solve both our patients’ functional needs and aesthetic desires.

Teeth wear can occur at any age. We call it TSL (tooth surface loss), and a combination of abrasion, erosion and attrition generally causes it. Erosion usually dominates due to the acidic nature of our diet. The increase in carbonated beverages has resulted in excessive amounts of tooth loss in as young as 15-year-olds, compromising the structural integrity of their teeth.

step

Approximately 30% of the population brux (grind) their teeth. The cause is unknown. However, it has been attributed to stresses of life and sleep disorders, when most of the tooth grinding occurs.

The best management is to identify the cause and prevent further damage. A thorough diagnosis is required to assess the cause. If it is not treated, underlying tooth loss will continue undermining any tooth restoration.

step

We achieved this treatment by using composite veneers; this meant there was zero tooth invasion (no teeth cutting), and the patient's natural teeth were intact.

The patient wished to improve the colour of her teeth and their overall aesthetic appearance. She had become self-conscious about her teeth. The top teeth were spatially shorter and had a worn appearance due to bruxism or grinding. The appearance of the top six teeth was particularly compromised, especially during speech and smiling. The short, worn teeth had created a flat smile line.

step

Several options were presented to the patient, who opted to undergo non-invasive composite veneers. We used minimally invasive techniques to transform her smile in only one visit. She had the top 10 teeth treated with composite veneers. The bite was also improved for an optimal outcome.

step

The patient reported that she loves the colour and symmetry of her new smile and naturally appearing teeth to complement her.
Complementing dentofacial aesthetics is the aim of our One Visit Smile Lift.

Dr Sarkis is the maestro of cosmetic dentistry….for years I suffered with 2 slightly darker front teeth due to a childhood accident. I’ve had composite veneers before but nothing compared to the composite veneers Dr Sarkis did……now I feel so confident smiling again……Dr Sarkis I can’t thank you enough…

Monica McKenzie

Quite literally the best dentist I’ve been to in a lifetime. Dr Natasha Koelmeyer specifically is just a wonderfully kind and gentle Doctor. Must also mention that the head specialist here is also second to none. Their knowledge (goodness they know their stuff) their approach, their kind and gentle manner - my daughter actually enjoys going to the dentist. They’ve got a really considered patient centric mentality. I wouldn’t go anywhere else, every single person there including the reception staff is a star. Thank you Designer Smiles!

My journey with Dr Sarkis began about 10 years ago. I did not realise that I had lacked self confidence and shone away from "my true smile". Dr Sarkis was honest, reassuring and professional throughout my process and not only was he able to achieve that perfect smile but achieve same without compromising the health of my teeth and gums.The ongoing care at Designer Smiles is 5 star whether it is a routine check, clean minor or major dentistry. Thank you Dr Sarkis and also your team.

Christina Vergotis

I found Designer Smiles from one of their YouTube videos showcasing the Icon treatment to fix white spots on teeth. Dr. Sarkis Nalbandian's consultation provided me with a thorough plan and showed me how their practise could give me predicable results for my concerns. I knew I was in safe hands. I had Kristy Gupta perform both of my procedures and she was very professional and so kind. I am very happy with my results!

Winsome Kain

I cannot express how grateful I am for Sarkis and the team at Designer Smiles. Around 11 years ago my life changed when Sarkis first transformed my smile with composite veneers. This month, with my original teeth in tact I returned to have my composite veneers upgraded to porcelain. I was amazed that Sarkis and his team could do this without an injections, no pain and whilst still keeping my original teeth in tact. I absolutely love the result and I would highly recommend that anyone that is unhappy with their smile in any way, must visit designer smiles

Matt Williams

Started my treatment with the team at Designer Smiles in 2019. Had other dental treatments including Maxillofacial, expanders, straightening and gum grafting but out of all the procedures and surgeries Dr. Sarkis was the key as he was applying the ‘finishing product’ which included composite veneers. I am gobsmacked by the incredible job done. He talks the talk and definitely walks the walk. And his support team there are simply incredible and make you feel part of a family not just another dental clinic to take your money. Can not recommend highly enough. Customer for life here!!
