Karan Gupta, a 42-year-old financial analyst,...
Karan Gupta, a 42-year-old financial analyst, had always been self-conscious about his smile. Years of coffee and tea consumption had left his teeth deeply stained, and a childhood fall had chipped his front tooth, which was repaired with a mismatched composite filling. He avoided smiling in photos and felt his stained teeth made him look older and unprofessional during client meetings. His dentist, Dr. Sharma, recommended a combination of professional whitening and porcelain veneers for the front six teeth to create a uniform, natural-looking white smile. Karan was anxious about the pain and the permanence of the procedure. The treatment required two visits: one for preparation and temporary veneers, and a second for bonding the custom-made veneers. The recovery involved temporary sensitivity and getting used to the feel of his new teeth. The outcome was transformative. Karan's smile was bright, even, and looked completely natural. Emotionally, he moved from feeling insecure and hesitant to confident and genuinely happy. He now smiles freely, feeling that his appearance matches his professional competence and inner vitality.
