Unfortunately this patient took a bad fall and chipped much of her anterior porcelain off her old crowns. We replaced the old work with newer, stronger, aesthetic crowns and she was very happy.

This patient presented with some failing anterior bonding that was also discolored. She decided on veneers for her front two teeth only. We added some special characterization to each veneer so they blended with the surrounding teeth.

This patient had a history of anterior trauma to her front teeth causing one of them to turn dark. It is very challenging to match just one tooth with a crown. In this case we decided to not prepare the other teeth as there was nothing wrong with them. She was so happy with the end result she jumped out of the chair! This happened after many adjustments and multiple try-ins to make the end result perfect!

Case 5 – Anterior Crowns and Custom Shade Matching

We achieved a natural result using a specialized shade machine for custom shade matching as well as our in house lab technician using shade guides to mark the variations in the teeth.

This patient arrived at our office not happy with his two front teeth that had been “patched” over many years. New custom shade crowns provided a much improved natural look and added strength compared to the old patched up fillings. These special type of crowns do not corrode and therefore do not show any dark line near your gum tissue over many years.

This patient lost her front tooth 2 years before she came to our office. We replaced that tooth with an implant and crown and restored the contours of the adjacent tooth with a matching Lava crown. She was very stunned with the final result and so happy to be rid of her temporary “flipper” tooth.
