Gestalt Smile Design. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. You don’t always need 10 veneers. This patient’s smile was transformed with just two carefully designed veneers. By restoring the teeth that visually dominated her smile, the surrounding teeth appeared more balanced and beautiful too. That is the power of Gestalt smile design: when the right details change, we perceive the entire smile differently. Sometimes, less truly is more.

Since tooth #8 was no longer savable due to a root fracture, we restored it with an implant and implant crown and rejuvenated the worn smile with a few carefully designed bespoke porcelain veneers. The result reflects exactly what this elegant lady wanted - a natural smile - with teeth that look like teeth.

It is said that restoratively matching a single central to its natural twin is the hardest challenge in dentistry. It is doubly challenging when the restoration is on an implant, being matched to an all-natural dentition - as in this case, because #8 was deemed unsavable due to internal root resorption. Dr. Keerti teaches her “filter, flip and fill” protocol in her workshops exactly to address such scenarios. This lovely, lovely patient of ours has enjoyed her confident smile for over 8 years now.

A MIDAS Makeover: Minimally Invasive Dental Aesthetic Solutions. Understanding proportion and harmony is the foundation of Dr. Keerti's MIDAS makeover. This gorgeous patient had been advised to repeat orthodontic treatment or have her teeth reduced for veneers. Using completely additive, drill-free, hand-layered resin veneers, we created a naturally elegant, harmonious smile while preserving her natural tooth structure. This is the MIDAS touch - it turns perceived challenges of a case, like small teeth, into an advantage: we don't need to drill down the teeth.

APT: Additive Phased Therapy for Worn Teeth. Restoration! NOT Reduction!!! When teeth are already worn down, the last thing they need is to be aggressively reduced for a mouthful of crowns. Instead, our Additive Phased Therapy (APT) takes a more conservative approach. We FIRST REBUILD the worn teeth and open the bite by adding resin - not by drilling away more healthy tooth structure. This transitional phase restores form and function while allowing us to evaluate the new bite over time. When appropriate, the resin is gradually replaced with porcelain overlays and veneers over time. This phased treatment allows patient musculature and physiology the time for gradual adaptation to the new bite, while conserving precious tooth structure!
