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

Many of us use software that is considered ‘freeware’, that is, free to download from the internet and use. Now PC World has compiled the ‘20 Best’ of this category. Check it out here and see if you can use any!

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!

So to review….we took a compromised situation with poorly-sized teeth that did not fit the face or smile of this pretty patient.

With a lot of work, the solution was to make teeth that were the correct proportion, design the bridge to fit the smile/face, and fill in the missing gum tissue with pink-colored porcelain. Everyone involved was really excited about the final, beautiful result!!

Here’s another view of the finished bridge. I wanted to show this view along with the old bridge to illustrate the difference having teeth the proper proportion can make.

This also illustrates the difference a real artist can make when crafting a dental restoration. Look at how life-like the new bridge appears.

What do we do when the gum tissue and bone is gone? We build it into the bridge! These teeth are properly proportioned in their width and height. The ‘extra’ area that existed before is now filled in with porcelain that is colored to look like gum tissue.

Also, notice how the tissue on the patient’s right side (or the left side of the photo) has begun to heal.

With the tissue/bone loss the teeth all looked the same. There was no differentiation between any of the front teeth.

And look to the left on the picture (or the patient’s right side). The gum tissue is very inflamed and irritated because of the poor fit of this existing bridge.
