Smile Transformation Stories

Gabriella

Gaby, a 32-year-old professional from Massachusetts, came to our Wellesley clinic frustrated with old composite veneers that had become bulky, stained, and mismatched with her natural teeth. Inspired by a close friend’s stunning transformation at our practice, she was ready for a timeless, natural smile that reflected her vibrant personality and career ambitions.

 

Gabriella Smile Transformation Story

Like many young adults, Gaby first turned to cosmetic dentistry in her 20s, choosing composite veneers to mask white and brown enamel spots on her upper incisors. But over time, the restorations lost their beauty — discoloring, chipping, and creating a bulky appearance.

Seeking a more natural, long-term solution, she trusted our Wellesley Smile Design Clinic — the first certified Digital Smile Design Clinic in the U.S. — to reimagine her smile.

We began with a comprehensive assessment, including facial analysis and dynamic video imaging, to design a harmonious look that suited her personality and lifestyle.

Her treatment included laser gum recontouring for symmetry and six ultra-thin, minimally invasive porcelain veneers, handcrafted by our in-house Master Ceramist for seamless integration. Because of her history of weakened enamel and bruxism, we also created a personalized maintenance protocol: Airflow hygiene three to four times per year, digital scans to monitor bite stability, a custom lab-fabricated night guard, a lower clear retainer, and probiotic-based oral care to support long-term health.

Today, Gaby enjoys a radiant smile that reflects her true self — confident, natural, and ready to take on both her honeymoon and her career goals with pride.
