Nice case of 12 diagnostic wax-ups for a veneer smile makeover case I have done recently.
One of my freshest cases here, this is an example of six anterior refractory veneers for a patient who had severely irregular teeth. Shame I have no pre-op photos.

This case for lower six anterior teeth and is split into two implant retained bridges with two screws each. Two screw holes are visible, one is placed lingually and final one is hidden under the lower right canine which lifts to reveal it.
Willi Geller takes time on a recent IDS Dental Show in Cologne to present me with a very special prize - full kit of Creation ZI-F porcelain in a limited edition wooden case signed by maestro himself.
Four anterior veneers made with 3M ESPE Lava Ceram, my preferred porcelain for veneer cases on BegoVest refractory die material. It is the only material to let you control coefficient of expansion by mixing liquid and water to desired ratio.
I made this six unit PFM anterior bridge using good old Schottlander Matchmaker MC porcelain. Good news - patient was delighted with the result. Bad news - bridge did not fit so it had to be re-made.
Unity in shape and colour, and higher strenght than your average porcelain. It was this patient's lucky day!
Three unit diagnostic wax-up in the anterior region serving as a guide to a subsequent metal-free restoration.
This bridge was made for a client in London's Harley Street using Willi Geller Creation porcelain and featuring only one premolar per side as requested by the surgeon.
Seven emax crowns made on a pressed MO-0 core. I have noticed that most of the images I take do not show translucency...
Palatal (erm, palatinal) view.
Long hours at work are over. Nowadays, instead of sitting all day and night at work, I can do nights at home. It is more relaxing - trust me. I haven't slept in 20 years.
This is one of my best works to date, as image clearly shows: An implant retained Popcorn bridge! Took me ages...patience...steady hand and Hinari microwave.
Yep, men love me and women fear me! Top image on the right: spot of go-kart racing. Yours truly sticks out like a sore thumb (wearing blue) with Oliver Brix in the hot seat in number six. I might tell you one day who won that race. Next pic, dinner with choice technicians from all over the globe.
I attended recently a Lava Mastercourse at the Bellmann & Hannker Lab in Rastede, Germany, where Jan signed my copy of his great book called 'Keramische Schichttechniken' - ISBN 978-3-937346-35-9. I will tell you a tiny secret: out of all the courses I attended this one is where I learned the most. Visit their site for more info.
