Every smile has a story, and for Amanda, it was a journey from hiding her teeth to confidently sharing her smile with the world. With the guidance and care of expert Wilmington dentist Dr. Michael Kuzma, Amanda transformed her crowded teeth into a radiant, balanced smile through a carefully planned combination of Invisalign, Zoom whitening, and prepless porcelain veneers.
Starting Smile Concerns
Amanda came to Kuzma Advanced Dentistry with concerns about crowded teeth that made her hesitant to smile. Beyond the esthetic challenge, she longed for a brighter, more harmonious look that felt natural. Like many patients, Amanda wanted a solution that addressed both function and beauty without compromising her comfort or enamel health.
Amanda’s Treatment Journey
Dr. Kuzma designed a treatment plan tailored to Amanda’s needs and goals. The process unfolded in stages, each building on the last for a comprehensive transformation.
Invisalign for Alignment
The first step was orthodontic care with Invisalign. Clear aligners gradually moved Amanda’s crowded teeth into a straighter, healthier position. Invisalign offered the discretion she wanted while providing precise alignment that set the stage for cosmetic refinements.
Zoom Whitening for Brightness
Once alignment was complete, Amanda brightened her smile with professional Zoom whitening. This in-office treatment delivered a whiter, more luminous look in a single session, creating the perfect backdrop for her veneers.
Prepless Porcelain Veneers for Balance
Finally, prepless porcelain veneers were placed on Amanda’s upper front teeth to correct size discrepancies and refine her smile’s symmetry. Because the veneers required little to no tooth reduction, her natural enamel was preserved while enhancing esthetics.
Expertise Behind the Transformation
Amanda’s smile makeover reflects the years of experience, training and artistry of Dr. Michael Kuzma. A graduate of the UNC Chapel Hill School of Dentistry, Dr. Kuzma has completed hours of training in advanced dental procedures and holds fellowships with the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies (LVI), IAPA, and the Academy of General Dentistry (FAGD). His commitment to precision, comfort, and natural esthetics guided every stage of Amanda’s treatment.
Results and Patient Experience
The results speak for themselves. Amanda’s teeth are straight, bright, and beautifully proportioned. Most importantly, her confidence has soared.
