Dr. Naghmeh Pashmini A 29-year-old female patient came to Serenity Dental Spa with an urgent request: she wanted the gaps between her teeth closed before her wedding in just one month. Time was running short, and she needed a solution that would give her the confident smile she wanted for her special day.
The Problem
The patient had noticeable gaps between her teeth that affected her confidence when smiling. With only a month until her wedding, traditional orthodontic treatments like Invisalign or braces weren’t feasible options due to the extended treatment time required.
Dr. Pashmini evaluated the patient’s situation and discussed two potential solutions: Invisalign treatment with porcelain veneers or immediate composite veneers. Given the time constraints and the patient’s budget considerations, she chose composite (chairside) veneers as the most practical solution.
Treatment Planning
To ensure optimal results, Dr. Pashmini began with a detailed wax-up of the patient’s teeth. This preliminary step allowed both the doctor and patient to visualize exactly how the final result would look, ensuring the treatment would meet the bride-to-be’s expectations for her wedding day.
The wax-up also served as a precise guide during the actual treatment, allowing Dr. Pashmini to work efficiently while achieving predictable, beautiful results.
Results in a Single Appointment
One week after the initial consultation and wax-up, the patient returned for her treatment appointment. In a single three-hour session, Dr. Pashmini skillfully applied composite veneers to close all the gaps between the patient’s teeth.
The composite veneer technique allowed for immediate results without the need for laboratory work or multiple appointments. This chairside approach was perfect for the patient’s tight timeline while still delivering the aesthetic improvement she desired.
The patient left the office that day with a bright, gap-free smile that was ready for her wedding photos. The composite veneers successfully closed all the spaces between her teeth, giving her the confident smile she had always wanted for her special day.
