Some back tooth love. I use the same lab for my posterior teeth as my anterior teeth. I always have. These two crowns dropped in without a single adjustment, with beautiful interproximal contacts, margins, and occlusion. Thank you @regosmiles!
I posted a full face photo of a patient I treated with six lithium disilicate pressed veneers in my last post, and a follower said she zoomed in and could tell they weren’t veneers. I think that’s the best unintentional compliment I could receive on a veneer case! Here’s a close up of these beauties four years later. When dentistry is done to the highest level, you SHOULDN’T be able to tell where the dentistry is! 🙏
Coming up on a four year post-op for porcelain veneers. They’re as natural as can be, and no one would know they aren’t her own (but she brags about them enough that the cat’s out of the bag)!
Some composite for win. The shade of the teeth is arbitrarily whiter in the after photo because the top photo was taken with my ring flash and the after photo in the bottom with my twin flash. I have three SLR cameras in my office that I prefer for different things. I’m now using the twin flash for most of my photos, but the ring is still my favorite for lab communication. One of the negatives of the transition is that not all of my before and after photos are taken with the same camera currently! Treated the front six and lower two with composite, layered from a matrix. This was a fun case because the patient knew exactly what she wanted and brought me an amazing layout and photoshop sketch I don’t think most dentists could put together!
I spy a Lenny.
Coming off of 9 straight days of continuing education. I traveled from Boston, to Chicago, to Reno, to Tahoe, to San Francisco, and now back to Boston. Of the nearly 200,000 dentists in the United States, it’s amazing how small the group of those who travel to learn beyond the minimal requirements is. Saw some of my very favorite people over the last week, but I’m ready to be in my own bed, and back with my patients. #alwayslearning
One of these things is not like the others! One of these teeth has an implant supported abutment and crown. Which tooth? This patient wanted her teeth restored to look as natural as possible. Tooth loss is an emotional and traumatic experience. In this particular case, it was a skiing accident and I received the emergency call late on a Saturday night. We were able to restore her in time for her wedding, and give her the natural teeth she would have had if she’d never undergone the trauma. This particular case required successful communication with my periodontist, Dr. Tom Sterio of @perico.pc. Lab work by @regosmiles!
Front teeth aren’t all supposed to be the same length! We went through Invisalign treatment to expand and increase overjet, then replaced restorations on 8 and 9 and added minimal prep veneers on 7 and 10. I also added composite for guidance on the upper canines. Her husband was worried they might look fake, but loves that they look more natural than ever! Thank you @regosmiles for the amazing ceramics, as always!
