There was also a new room of dental equipment that was put in during the renovations. Everyone has loved the new furnishings!

A few more photos of the office, after our renovations.  Look at the post below to see the same image during the construction.  Big change!!

When you have some spare time on your hands this is a great article about all kinds of different useful sites on the web.  I found a bunch that I’m using now!  Check it out here.

Here’s the final result.  The patient was SO excited to have a tooth again. And look how natural it appears.  The process takes a long time, but a dental implant is still the ideal way to replace missing teeth in many, many situations.

And here’s the new filling. It came out great! And surprisingly there was no sensitivity to hot, cold, or biting after the big cavity was cleaned out and the tooth filled.

Here’s the tooth with most of the cavity cleaned out. It was REALLY big! And again, no symptoms with hot, cold, or bite. The ONLY way to have found this was with a dental x-ray.

But, when the tooth is opened up, look what’s inside:

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.

Look at this tooth. It’s a mess. And it’s just downright ugly.
