Treatment Provided
- 8 Bioclear composite veneers where hand crafted to replace and old 6 composite veneers and build up the posterior part of the smile.
Patient Concerns
- The patient did not like the gap in between their lower teeth. Initially, this patient thought that the teeth had to be moved by orthodontics to close the space. Therefore had put this off for years due to not wanting to wear braces.
Treatment Provided
- This treatment was completed in 60 minutes by adding composite resin to the teeth either side of the gaps. This was done using the Bioclear matrix system. We were able to do this without using any local anaesthetic due to the treatment being purely ‘additive dentistry’.
Patient Concerns

- Chipping and unevenness.
- There was a peg lateral tooth on the left hand side and a missing lateral incisor on the right hand side.
Treatment Provided

- First the patient had 9 months of clear aligner orthodontic treatment to move the teeth into a better position.
- Then his bite was raised by 2mm with composite veneers using the Bioclear method of injection moulding with heated composite. On the same day the missing tooth was replaced with a porcelain Emax Maryland bridge made with the CEREC machine (same day crown machine). In this case the restorative phase of this patients treatment was done on the same day over two appointments.
Patient Concerns
- This patient was concerned about the extensive wear on the upper and lower teeth and the chipping of the old composite veneers.
- There is was also extensive wear on the posterior teeth.

Bioclear
- On day three the upper and lower posterior teeth were built up with composite. There is a 4mm change/or increase in the bite.

Treatment Provided
- The treatment was to replace the 4 old composite veneers with new Bioclear composite veneers using heated composite and the injection moulding technique.
Patient Concerns

- They also did not like the recession around the gums.
Treatment Provided
- The treatment to correct this was 8 handcrafted Bioclear composite veneers using the injection moulding technique.
- The after photo is immediately post op on the day of completion due to the patient having to travel a distance so the gums have not healed in this final photo.
Patient Concerns

Treatment Provided

This had to heal for 6 weeks. Then the second phase was to reshape the tooth with a Bioclear composite veneer using the injection moulding technique with heated monolithic composite resin.
