Another great example of conservative dentistry that looks great when we’re finished. See these stained grooves? Think there’s any problem here? Wait and see….
Take a closer look at the final results, and where we started before the appointment. The teeth look SO much better and we really gave this patient something to smile about!!
Here’s a closer look at these two teeth. You can see the dark areas that have started around the existing tooth-colored fillings. The cavity usually will have undermined the existing filling and the tooth around it, too. So to properly repair and restore this area the entire old filling will need to be removed and replaced.
So let’s look at this situation a little closer. You can see where the crown meets the tooth because there has been some recession of the gum tissue over the many years this crown has been in service. Also, this same area is starting to ‘leak’, that is, bacteria is migrating under the crown and infecting the tooth underneath. The tooth in front of the crown has a large cavity. In fact it’s big enough that you can see the gray ’shadow’ of the decay if you look closely. It was definitely time to fix these teeth.
We can all admit that pop-ups are a frustration if you spend ANY time on the web. Well here’s an easy read on some downloads that will virtually eliminate those annoying ads. Read here.
Here’s a list put together of mostly free downloads that are absolute ‘must haves’……according to the authors! Read about them and see what YOU think! Read here.
Here you can see the former doorway, on the left. Again, this was closed off and the back wall of the room opened up to make a new sterilization area. The soffit above the front desk was cut, framed, and boxed off. It will have small accent spot lights installed.
Here’s a great review of some security programs that can be used to keep your PC safe. They’re not only free, but many of them use less memory than the suites that you and I have to buy, and work better! Read here.
Here’s a list of the 100 best blogs, according to PC World. And no….sadly my blog did not make the list. Maybe next year!
Welcome and thanks for visiting.
