Anterior Aesthetics in a Young Female

Image
Patient is a very young, pretty and bubly 20yr old. She had lost a upper front tooth many years ago. The gap had filled up and patient had required Ortho to correct her bite and smile. Due to many reasons the gap was not planned well in advance and left remaining once treatment was complete. An Implant was not possible to replace the missing tooth since the space was very small in dimension and the root would interefere with a straight implant. Fially, a bridge was planned and the preparation/cutting kept to a minimum to keep teeth alive without disturbing the nerve. So yes, a root canal was avoided and good aesthetic result achieved with eMax or Lithium Disilicate

Anterior Esthetics in an Older Male

Like the previous case, this case too required a full coverage crown (to replace an older one) and a veneer (We love to be conservative! "less is more"!) for the management of the upper front teeth. The treatment plan involved a temporary and patient approval along with testing if there would be any challenges to the final design. Final were done and patient was satisfied with the end result.  Irrespective of the age of the patient... the front teeth is something that everyone values and places a premium on... getting a good result is paramount.
