Anterior veneer case
I’ve been a Cerec user for over 9 years and I am continually amazed at what this technology allows us to do for our patients. I saw this 20 year old patient last week for a consult to have her veneers on 8,9 redone. She had a large composite on 8 from trauma. The previous Dr made 3 attempts (with the patient in temps for 3 weeks in between each try in) to please her and the final attempt she had to drive across town for a custom shade and still wasn’t happy with them. A few weeks later she had some porcelain chip at the facial margin and the Dr refused to see her according to the patient. Her story raised some red flags to me and I was a little nervous I would be able to please her. After examining her existing veneers, they did appear too long and bulky and the surface texture, shade also didn’t match her existing teeth. She was blown away that I could remake them in one 2 hr visit. I used emax BL3 and the cerecdoctors meisinger polishing kit to add texture and polish prior to stain and glaze. She loved the results and her mom has an appointment this Monday as well. I love what Cerec single visit Dentistry gives us the power to do.
I shortened and contoured the veneers first, then I took a biocopy image. However since I still didn’t like the existing anatomy I designed in bio individual using the biocopy as reference for midline and cant. Thanks!
Can you help me out here as I have not done veneers yet. What does veneer mode mean, is that a setting on the cerec itself, or the milling machine?

What a difference between the "cosmetic" dentist's work (shame on the lab) and your fine CEREC restorations! Amazing work by another one of the amazing CEREC dentists that hang out around here. The contouring alone is way above the local lab's work, but the shade compared to a custom shade at the lab blows them out of the water. Great marketing material right there! Well done.
Thank you everyone for the complements. I have to give credit to the excellent work that is posted daily from this site and the workshops that have made me a much better clinician. To help clarify Veneer mode, I designated the restorations as veneers to prevent overmilling the already thin porcelain. Doing so I tried to keep my preps smooth and round to minimize seating issues and I had minimal adjustments.
