Tommy- Porcelain Crown
-
Before
Tommy is a 62 year old gentleman who presented with a 15 year old crown that did not match the rest of his smile. His front tooth was too long, and lacked the translucency that our natural teeth have. It also had part of the tooth exposed along the gum line, and a dark metal line showing where the porcelain and metal join.After
Re-doing a single front tooth is one of the hardest jobs as a dentist, because it is very difficult to get a perfect color match. Tommy bleached his teeth first, and then we replaced the problem tooth with an all porcelain crown. We matched the length of the two front teeth. We were able to achieve the smile he desired!
