A tale of two laterals

This patient came in wanting to get her laterals to match her centrals.  She had the centrals done at another office with a lab.  She liked how they looked and wanted to get the laterals to match.  

So the challenge was matching the centrals while making the laterals blend into the natural teeth.  I started with using biojaw to position the teeth and change the shape to more ovoid like the centrals. 

The design after that was pretty fast and simple.  I used the gingival mask to make sure the emergence was right with the pre retracted gingiva.  

The restorations, which were A2 HT to match the slight grey of the centrals(most likely HT Emax as well),  were then stain and glazed with GC luster paste and then cemented with variolink esthetic.  I used the warm to give a subtle transition between the centrals and the more lively looking canines. 

The final result is good considering I am having to match natural teeth with previously restored central incisors.  The patient was very happy with the result.
