| Case 2
|
..........As seen in this photo, the
patient felt she had crowns that did not
look natural, felt bulky and due to
receeding gum tissue, started developing
unsightly black lines where the porcelain
material was fused to the metal substrate.
She also had difficulties with food getting
trapped in the spaces between her crowns.
..........The patient was very unhappy with
her appearance. Even her husband commented
that every time she smiled, the various
cosmetic stains could be seen along with
food that was becoming routinely trapped
between her teeth.
.......... We performed a thorough
examination and has able to determine that
newer advanced porcelain crowns (solid
porcelain) could be used to eliminate the
"black line" phenomenon that occurs with the
older style porcelain crowns. Current crown
technology also offers more "translucency
qualities" which makes the tooth appear to
be "real."
.......... We also assured the patient that
with additional cosmetic procedures he could
make her lower teeth appear perfectly
straight, with perfect color and create a
customized, very feminine smile .... all in
only 5 days!!
