Harmonising replacement veneers with the natural dentition

Introduction
This young lady was referred by a local dentist who requested a review with the intention of replacing her two upper lateral incisor veneers, which had been placed five years previously. The referring dentist would continue to look after the rest of her dental health. referring dentist. Her oral hygiene was good but some gingival inflammation was noted. She gave a history of the lateral incisors being veneered because of their poor shape. They may have been ‘peg’ shaped. Some tooth surface loss was seen on the cervical region of the central incisors along with incisal wear, which needs to be kept under review. Occlusal assessment showed no slide, or interferences and no TMJ symptoms. Spacing in the lower anterior region was noted but the patient was happy to accept this. Having had the whole mouth assessed, the patient elected to proceed with the original plan to replace the two veneers with more aesthetic restorations. The plan was to take radiographs to exclude apical pathology, photographs and initial study casts, following which the existing veneers would be removed and the teeth provisionalised. The patient would then attend the dental technician for shade taking and mapping of the characterisation.
