Porcelain veneers in a patient with badly deteriorated oral health
Tooth wear is a common, progressive problem that affects many people without their realizing how serious the situation is. At Clínica Peydro we approach these cases with a multidisciplinary approach so as to guarantee a complete, lasting solution
Tooth wear happens gradually. The teeth mold themselves to one another and the jaw shifts position. The process is so gradual that many patients are unaware of the problem until it is severe. Our patient had:
- Generalized wear: his teeth were visibly shorter and flatter because of the wear.
- A change in jaw position: the jaw had shifted position to compensate for the wear, affecting both the bite and function.
- Esthetic and functional problems: as well as the wear, the teeth were discolored and the gums showed signs of recession.
At Clínica Peydro we specialize in clear aligners, dental implants and esthetic dentistry

The first step in the treatment was to put the teeth in the right position with orthodontics. Dr. Diego Peydro used clear aligners to realign the teeth gradually and precisely. That treatment not only improved their appearance but also prepared them for the next stage of the rehabilitation.
With the teeth in the right position, the next step was to improve their appearance with porcelain veneers
The advantages of using porcelain veneers:
- Functional restoration: the back teeth regained their ability to chew and grind food efficiently.
- Extra protection: the composite helps protect the teeth from future wear by distributing the forces of the bite evenly.
