Wendy’s before and after: Smile with dental veneers in Barranquilla
Wendy always felt something was off with her smile. She didn’t have cavities, her bite worked well, and she took care of her teeth — but the color never felt right. That’s why she came to us looking for dental veneers in Barranquilla — but the color never felt like her.
It wasn’t white. It wasn’t bright. It was a dull, yellowish tone that made her feel like her smile belonged to someone else. She hadn’t tried whitening. But deep down, she sensed the problem wasn’t on the surface. The color seemed to come from within — and she was right.
When color comes from within
Not all tooth discoloration is caused by coffee or habits. In Wendy’s case, she had what we call intrinsic discoloration: a change in tooth color that begins inside the structure of the tooth — not outside.
This type of color variation may happen due to:
- Mild enamel malformation
- Naturally darker dentin tone
- Developmental conditions
- Genetics
- Medications or trauma during early life
Because of this, whitening treatments usually have little to no effect. What patients like Wendy truly need is a tailored, long-term solution — like dental veneers in Barranquilla.
When whitening isn’t enough: Why dental veneers in Barranquilla work
Together, we decided on 20 lithium disilicate veneers — a ceramic that allows us to restore color, shape and proportion in the most natural way possible.
This wasn’t about going ultra-white. It was about creating harmony and light. Choosing dental veneers gave Wendy a solution that went beyond whitening — it gave her a fresh start.
The case was led by Dr. Daniel Zabaleta and Dr. Paola Zabaleta, with the prior intervention of Dr. Alicia Correa, our periodontist, who performed a crown lengthening on the upper central teeth to create the ideal gingival contour before the aesthetic phase.
We used a minimal-prep technique that respects the natural tooth structure. No aggressive drilling. Just precision and purpose. This is what we mean when we talk about aesthetic dentistry — results that feel like you.
The result: a quiet but powerful transformation
Now Wendy smiles with ease. Her smile looks clean, soft, and honest — just like she imagined.
If you’re in Colombia and feel your smile doesn’t reflect who you are, dental veneers in Barranquilla may be the answer.
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all smiles. At Sonrisa Italiana, we help patients rediscover confidence with natural, lasting results.
