All I Want For Christmas is My Two Front Teeth ...

This patient had two crowns put on his front teeth.  One of the two crowns popped out shortly after, so he came to me to see what I can do for him. Restorations on the two front teeth are some of the most difficult treatments.  Not only do they have to look like real teeth, they also have to fit within the functional parameters of the patient's bite.

I restored this case by eliminating interferences in his bite to stabilize it first. Then I restored the two front teeth with two new crowns which were done with complexity in color combination, contour, texture, and functional guidance.

The "after" photos were taken two days after delivery.  The gum will continue to adapt well around the teeth, and the restorations will continue to disappear into his dentition as if they were his own natural teeth.

Cosmetic dentistry for men

Cosmetic dentistry is not only for women.  A significant amount of my work involves enhancing the smiles of my male patients.  Here is a case I finished 9 months ago.  I just had the chance to see the patient again today for a follow-up visit and photos. I did this case with a combination of bite adjustments, teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, and resin bonding.  Some of the detailed characteristics of the teeth were done specifically to the patient's request.
