Bonding after braces

Dr T. — Thu, 14 Apr 2011 12:05:23 +0000

This young lady has just finished her braces. The orthodontist did an excellent job, but there is still a problem when you look at her smile. Any ideas??

Front teeth repaired

The teeth we were going to fix had many old fillings that were breaking down, had worn edges, an old crown that no longer matched, and were dark and discolored. They needed some help! We started by first whitening all her teeth. Again…..this is where we were starting:

And here’s another of the veneer photos. The tissue now has had a few weeks to fully mature, so you can see how the papilla (the piece of gum tissue we have between our teeth that extends down to a point) has begun to drop into place. Again, no sensitivity and one happy, happy patient!!

Here’s a closer look at these two cavities. You can see that they extend slightly under the gumline:

And here’s the beautiful portrait photo of the patient after having completed her work. She’s SO excited about her new teeth….and so are we!!

Front Teeth-Before

Dr T. — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 10:56:39 +0000

Here is where we started. This young lady lost a lot of tooth structure earlier in her life. Now the teeth are too short, and VERY thin at the edge. Although there is no sensitivity, the nerve in these teeth is barely covered. There is almost no tooth structure left to protect them. Our challenge is to not only replace the lost tooth structure, but also restore ideal function and esthetics.

No, this is not in ANY way related to dentistry, but many of us have kids. And kids LOVE video games. Here’s a sneak peek at the newest games coming out in time for Christmas: site

Here’s the same side tooth (the lateral) after it had some bonding added to it.

Notice the additional width, and how the small gap that was left at the tip or edge of this tooth has been closed.
