Whiteline Clinical Case: Julie's Complete Transformation with Zirconia Crowns
By: Dr. Eduardo Trujillo
Endodontic Specialist and Partner at Whiteline
At Whiteline, every smile tells a story. Julie's is a testament to how modern dentistry can go beyond aesthetics to restore function, health and self-confidence in our patients .
Julie came to our clinic looking for a radical improvement. She wanted to work on the esthetic and also the functional part, because she had very damaged teeth, which affected her chewing. After a thorough evaluation, we presented a comprehensive treatment plan to rehabilitate her smile with our Oral Rehabilitation Specialists.
The Diagnosis and the Plan
The case presented several challenges:
Severe wear and deep pigmentation of the front teeth.
The need for root canals in several teeth due to large cavities or fractures.
The requirement for a material that was both aesthetically pleasing and extremely resistant to withstand the force of the bite.
The solution was a complete rehabilitation with metal-free zirconia crowns, a material that offers the best combination of natural beauty and durability.

Step by Step of an Integral Treatment
Health Phase: First, we performed the necessary endodontic treatments to ensure that the base of your teeth were healthy and free of infection.
Preparation Phase: We proceed with crown lengthening on some teeth. This is crucial to ensure that future crowns have a perfect fitting margin and adequate seal, to guarantee the long-term success of the treatment.
Design Phase: We make a mock up, which is a preview of how the work will look like. This allows the patient to have an idea of the final result of the treatment and to make adjustments if necessary and if they can be made. This is an important step, especially when several restorations will be performed on the patient.
Results Phase: The zirconia crowns were cemented (bonded) with precision. The result was a smile that was not only flawless in color and shape, but also perfectly functional and harmonious.
The entire process was completed in a time frame of 3 months, accommodating Julie's scheduling needs.
The Result: More than a New Smile
Julie's case exemplifies our philosophy: treat the patient, not just the tooth. We succeeded:
Restore proper masticatory function.
Create natural and radiant dental esthetics.
To give you back the confidence to smile without reserve.
