Here is a tooth that had a large cavity and big silver filling. You can see the dark shadow of the filling through tooth. Because there was so little healthy tooth structure remaining, we decided to place a porcelain crown.
Now look how things came out. We’re all SO happy with the final results!!

After only a few months a new computer can really slow down. Here’s a good article to help speed things up again. Many of these suggestions are easy and really do help! Read here.

We resurfaced the bonding on her lateral incisor, leaving the existing bonding on her canine tooth (That will be resurfaced later). The change was dramatic. It was an easy fix and got this young lady off to college with a new, brighter smile. A few years from now we’ll consider some conservative veneers.
You’re gonna love this one. We recently saw this young lady for a 3rd opinion. She previously had some bonding on a few front teeth that was getting a little older. She was heading to college and hoped to improve the overall esthetics of her front teeth. The options she was initially presented included veneers alone, or veneers and crowns. Here’s what things looked like initially:

This was NOT evident when you looked at the tooth (see below) and was only found with an x-ray.
We tried to save her current, new crown with some bonding and, at the same time add back to the other tooth. This was a quick, painless repair and got her on her way and back to work in no time!
So here’s the story. This young lady was in a rush to get to work, was looking down, and forgot about the glass doors ahead of her. After she ran into them the only damage was to these two teeth. She had just had a new crown placed on her upper right central incisor (the broken tooth on her right, or the left in the photo) just before she moved to town. The other tooth had some bonding. Understandably, she was upset. And we needed a quick fix to get her on her way back to work.
