Story
Fabio is a professional football player for Rangers FC and Portugal (2024).
He presented to me through a team mate’s recommendation. Unhappy with his overall the appearance of his smile, he was looking to improve the colour and shape of his teeth. Due to time constraints and his professional schedule he was certain that veneers were the best choice for him, and in this occasion I agreed.
We discussed a number of options, including orthodontics with Invisalign, followed by composite bonding or veneers.
Fabio’s journey started with rearranging his bite and some gum surgery to reduce his gummy smile. We then proceeded with a full mouth reconstruction.
This decision was mainly due to the pursuit of a definitive aesthetic improvement which would provide the greatest longevity, and provide optimum aesthetics.
As always, a digital mock up was used with facially driven treatment planning.
12 upper and 12 lower restorations were delivered including veneers and onlays.

“I visited Andrew after a recommendation from my team mates.
Initially I was very self conscious of my smile, and after a consultation with Andrew he reassured me towards to best treatment options.
I was highly motivated to proceed with veneers, which I felt would provide me with the best appearance and last the longest.
I’m delighted with the outcome and overall experience which has given me the confidence to smile! I would highly recommend Andrew and his team at Advanced Dentistry.”
