Teeth meet glass door……….teeth lose. Glass door wins.

So that was a bad looking tooth.  This looks better.  The crown that was placed on this tooth has an all-porcelain margin (that’s the area where the tooth and crown meet).  There’s no metal in this area to give the gray appearance you can see so often around crowns.  Ask your dentist what esthetic alternatives you have when you are getting a crown.  Tell him or her you want it to look as good as this tooth!!

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

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!!

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:

Notice how the new front teeth blend well with the existing teeth in back? They look like they’ve been there forever!

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

They look great!
