Robert’s Story

Transforming a Patient’s Smile—and Life—With Veneers

Robert loved spending time with his big family and it seemed that every holiday, they were called to line up for group photos. After many of these photo opportunities, his children began to notice that he never smiled. They encouraged him to smile for these photos memorializing the history of their family but he refused. His teeth, he told them, were too unattractive. He didn’t like ever revealing them for photographs. 


It was his daughter who realized that all Robert had to do was ask Dr. Seifi to provide cosmetic care for his smile. The solution could be as simple as that. 


It took Robert a little time to get used to this idea, but then he decided to take a look at what his path to a more attractive smile would be like. Once he learned how straightforward the process would be, he forged right ahead.

Robert’s Undersized Teeth

An examination revealed that on the plus side, Robert’s teeth were basically healthy. On the minus side, they were too small for his mouth which meant they had significant gaps between them. Their shapes were also irregular, they were slightly crooked and one was chipped. 

Most of them were also discolored, an effect that can be caused by a medical drug like tetracycline. A tooth discolored in this way will not usually respond to whitening. Fortunately, there are other solutions for teeth like this. 

Robert’s Treatment Begins

Because of the small size of Robert’s teeth, Dr. Seifi determined that orthodontia alone would not be a suitable solution. His teeth simply weren’t big enough to fill the space. 

Instead, she designed bright porcelain veneers for sixteen of his teeth. She worked with Robert to decide on the color and shape of the veneers; Dr. Seifi wanted to make sure they complemented his coloring and appearance perfectly. Robert enjoyed being able to have a hand in designing his new smile. 

When the veneers were ready, Dr. Seifi permanently bonded them to his front teeth, both top and bottom. When she was done, Robert had a clean, bright, even smile. 

Big Smiles for Family Photos

Now, it’s Robert telling his family to line up for photos and smile big! He never misses an opportunity to show off the beautiful smile he was able to achieve with Dr. Seifi’s help.
