Smile Makeover. Patient was unhappy with the alignment and general appearance of her teeth, and was self-conscious about her smile.

Full Mouth Reconstruction. Patient with numerous decayed and fractured teeth, as well as a clenching/grinding habit that contributed to further destruction and loss of vertical dimension. The teeth were restored with crowns and the bite was balanced.

Tooth Crown. One of the most difficult things to do in dentistry is to match a single front tooth crown to the neighboring teeth and have it blend in seamlessly. With great technique and a great laboratory, an excellent result can be achieved. The laboratory added texturing on the surface of the tooth which reflects light to give the appearance of a lifelike tooth, and here is no “dark line” at the gumline. The crown appears to be seamlessly coming out of the gum tissue.

After
Crowns/Bonding. This patient presented looking for a way to improve aesthetics. Ceramic fused to porcelain crowns were placed on the front two teeth after root canal. The remaining four front teeth received resin bonded restorations (chairside bonding). Proper technique is essential to blend in the margins seamlessly.
