Janica's Veneer Smile Transformation

Patient Goals

Janica's teeth and smile were tilted to her left, and her dental midline was no longer parallel with her facial midline. From certain angles, the asymmetry gave her smile a "shark tooth" appearance. She wanted a smile that was symmetrical, aligned with her facial midline, and brighter overall.

Smile Analysis

Janica was missing two teeth on her upper left side, and her remaining teeth had tilted to the left over time. This created a midline misalignment between her teeth and her face, along with bite and jaw discomfort. On the right side, teeth protruded more than the left, giving an uneven "shark tooth" appearance, and general staining and discoloration added to the uneven look of her smile.

Treatment Plan

To correct the tilt, close the gaps, and restore facial symmetry, we planned 12 upper porcelain veneers along with an implant crown to replace her missing tooth. Treating all 13 visible teeth together — rather than just a few — allowed us to fully reshape the smile, align it with her facial midline, and maintain a healthy, functional bite.

Design Details

Janica wanted a smile that looked natural, symmetrical, and fully healed — not just straighter.

To achieve this, we focused on:

Midline Correction — reshaping and angling each veneer so her smile lines up with her facial midline
Gap Closure — closing the spacing between her upper teeth that created the "shark tooth" appearance

Final Result

Janica's smile is now symmetrical, aligned with her facial midline, and free of the "shark tooth" look that bothered her.

She had tried Invisalign before without achieving the result she wanted — with veneers, she got the smile she'd always envisioned in just three weeks.

"Dr. Moran completely transformed my smile and my confidence! With my wedding coming up, I was so anxious about my front teeth, especially my discolored, uneven crowns, and I couldn’t be happier with my new veneers. Dr. Moran genuinely cares about her patients. She’s a true perfectionist, always taking the time to answer questions and go the extra mile."

"I can't recommend Dr. Moran and her team enough! From the moment you walk in, everyone is kind and welcoming. The care I've received has been excellent and its clear they genuinely care about their patients.

- Nathalie T.

“Dr. Moran's knowledge extends far beyond one area of dentistry. She has a unique ability to explain how orthodontics, aesthetics, endodontics together. She helps me understand my dental health as a whole. I genuinely enjoy coming to her office and couldn't recommend her more highly.

- Janica S.

Dr. Moran is truly an artist! I came to her after an accident left me with broken teeth and composite bonding that was long overdue to be fixed. I had been hesitant to move forward because I wanted a dentist I could trust, someone whose recommendations didn’t feel like a cash grab and who would preserve what made my smile mine.
