Becoming self conscious about her teeth and smile, Anna felt that it was giving her a premature aged look.
Having a habit of grinding her teeth at night when she slept, over the years she wore her teeth down and they got increasingly shorter and shorter. Her lower teeth were the worst in her opinion, as she really hated not only the very small worn down size, but also the spaced in between.

After discussing her concerns Anna expressed that she was actually looking for more than just correcting the worn spaced teeth. She really wanted a beautiful, more youthful and feminine smile, something that would really give her confidence and help her look her very best in public and in social or business situations.
Dr. Huefner recommended to Anna that he utilize porcelain veneers to treat her dental problems. That would give him the best control over the size, shape, length and color of her new teeth, without having to place crowns or caps on her teeth. This would result in more stronger and more healthy teeth underneath.
Anna’s treatment was done in two phases. First, her upper teeth were restored. This process took three weeks to complete. Following this, her lower teeth were restored, completing her dental reconstruction. Again, that took three weeks.
