This patient had an old porcelain crown and was not happy with the esthetics, and came to me for a cosmetic consultation to improve the look of his front tooth. He was unhappy with the “black next to the gums and the square shape” of the crown and wanted me to make him a new better looking crown. I removed his old crown and cleaned up the decay that was under it and made him a beautiful, perfectly matched front porcelain crown.

This patient had been taking medications for depression and allergies causing dry mouth. As a result he developed decay under an old crown. I was able to save the tooth by removing the old crown, cleaning out the decay, and placing a new beautiful all porcelain crown.

Crowns of the day

Here I made 2 porcelain crowns for this patients’ upper lateral incisors. The crowns filled out his smile nicely and look fantastic. Notice how large his upper central incisors looked before and how natural his upper teeth look after.

Here I made 4 porcelain crowns. His teeth are somewhat yellow, so I made the new crowns slightly lighter than the rest of his teeth to brighten up his smile.
