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.

So remember where we started? The original teeth were thin, worn, and discolored.

And, with the proper planning and great teamwork, we get to here:

Remember how the front teeth were originally so thin when we started? (see here) Well now look at them.

They look great!

The front teeth have worn so much that they don’t even touch the lower teeth. See here:

Notice how you are able to see through the very thin edges of these teeth. And very little tooth actually shows when her lips are relaxed and at rest. This is something usually seen in someone much older. As we age, the edge of our teeth often will wear, and we show less and less of the tooth. When this happens prematurely it gives us an ‘older’ looking smile.

As I’ve stated before, the best plan when restoring teeth is to start with the end result in mind. This pretty smile is where we finished. Stay tuned to see where we started.

Here’s the final result. Granted it was a small corner, but the difference for this young lady was huge!

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 another view of the same hallway. This wall used to have cabinets that held our sterilization equipment. Since we will have a new modern sterilization area this wall will be resurfaced and painted. It’s the PERFECT spot to show off many of my photographs. When you visit the office make sure to stop and see the photos on this wall!

Here’s another view of the back hallway without the ceiling. You can see a ‘left over’ light at the far end, and a speaker hanging precariously from it’s wire.
