Cosmetic Bonding, Alondra

By

Alondra was 3 years old and as cute as they come with the exception of her smile. Alondra is a living example of what can happen when you to a child living on soda and candy while at the same time failing to brush regularly at the age of 3.

It would be a shame to create the STIGMA of a steel smile by placing convenient stainless steel crowns on teeth C-H. Her mother was desperate to recreate her beautiful white smile.

The cosmetic bonding of chairside laminates is not just for adults anymore, we chose to use resin to restore her 6 maxilary anterior teeth.

We filled the deep voids after caries removal with microhybrid, including the lingual shelves. We added blue tint to the labials and used several restorative products to achieve a natural appearance. Thanks to Alandra for being such a superlative patient, it was well worth the McDonald’s bucks.

Dental Implant, Single Tooth

By

Mark is a small business owner who works with the public all day long, so when he broke his upper anterior tooth (tooth #8) going without it was not an option.

His other teeth were in good health and it did not make sense to work on the adjacent teeth to fabricate a bridge. A dental implant is the new standard of care in the 21st century because it replaced the missing tooth in a way similar to your natural tooth and allows for better hygiene to keep the implant and adjacent teeth healthy.

In Mark’s case the missing tooth #8 was replaced using an endosseous implant and full ceramic crown joined by a custom zirconium abutment. Mark was very happy with the results of his new tooth and the natural smile he can give his customers.
