Laser Gum Contouring and 10 Porcelain Veneers

Cortney visited Sapphire Smiles seeking a subtle yet impactful smile enhancement. While her teeth were healthy overall, signs of aging, some unevenness, and discoloration prevented her smile from looking its absolute best. Using laser gum contouring and 10 custom porcelain veneers, Dr. Antoun refined her smile with a conservative approach that preserved her natural teeth while creating a brighter, more balanced appearance.

Cortney’s smile already had a strong foundation, but small imperfections were keeping it from reaching its full potential. Her teeth showed minor crookedness, slight chipping, and discoloration that had become more noticeable over time. Like many patients, she discovered that whitening treatments alone could not fully address the effects of aging and wear. She wanted a smile that looked refreshed, vibrant, and naturally beautiful.

As with every smile makeover at Sapphire Smiles, the process began with extensive planning and digital smile design. Dr. Antoun and his team carefully analyzed Cortney’s facial features, proportions, and smile dynamics to create a design tailored specifically to her. The goal was never to create teeth that looked too large or artificial, but rather to design a smile that enhanced her natural beauty and complemented her facial aesthetics.

To further refine her results, Dr. Antoun used advanced laser technology to gently reshape and balance her gumline, creating greater symmetry and harmony. Cortney then received 10 minimal-prep porcelain veneers with little to no drilling and no need for numbing. After wearing her custom-designed temporaries for several weeks, her final handcrafted veneers were placed, completing a transformation that looked remarkably natural. The “after” photographs were taken one year later, demonstrating the lasting beauty of her results.

One of the most impressive aspects of Cortney’s transformation is how natural her veneers appear. Each porcelain veneer was individually hand-layered by exclusive laboratory artists to create realistic translucency, texture, and color. The result is a brighter, fuller smile that attracts compliments without revealing exactly what was changed.

The most noticeable feature of Cortney’s smile makeover is its effortless naturalness. Her smile appears brighter, fuller, and more youthful, yet still looks completely authentic to her face. The improved symmetry of her gumline, combined with the carefully crafted porcelain veneers, creates a level of balance that enhances her overall appearance without looking obvious. In fact, many people notice that something looks different but cannot identify exactly what changed. That subtle sophistication is the hallmark of exceptional cosmetic dentistry and one of the reasons Cortney continues to love her results a year later.

“I’m super happy with the whole experience. It was exactly what I wanted. I've gotten so many compliments, and people ask if I've done anything because they can't really tell, but they know something's different. Everything was actually very comfortable, painless.”
