We discussed different treatment options and what would work best. I took study models, waxed up an ideal smile and made a provisional bridge of the ideal smile.\u00a0 At the treatment appointment I prepped the canines and centrals for the bridge, extracted the lateral incisors and adjusted, fitted and cemented, the provisional bridge. The provisional bridge will stay in place for 3 months while the extraction sites heal. Following healing I will re-prep the teeth and take the final impression for the porcelain bridge.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1375\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1375\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/caringdentists.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/before.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1375 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/caringdentists.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/before-300x205.jpg\" alt=\"before\" width=\"300\" height=\"205\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.caringdentists.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/before-300x205.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.caringdentists.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/before.jpg 591w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1375\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">smile before<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1376\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1376\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/caringdentists.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/after.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1376\" src=\"http:\/\/caringdentists.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/after-300x192.jpg\" alt=\"after\" width=\"300\" height=\"192\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.caringdentists.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/after-300x192.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.caringdentists.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/after.jpg 557w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1376\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Two hours later with provisional bridge<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1377\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1377\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/caringdentists.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/provisional-bridge.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1377 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/caringdentists.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/provisional-bridge-300x286.jpg\" alt=\"provisional bridge\" width=\"300\" height=\"286\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.caringdentists.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/provisional-bridge-300x286.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.caringdentists.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/provisional-bridge.jpg 660w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1377\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">provisional bridge<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1378\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1378\" style=\"width: 205px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/caringdentists.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/bridge.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1378 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/caringdentists.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/bridge-205x300.jpg\" alt=\"bridge\" width=\"205\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.caringdentists.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/bridge-205x300.jpg 205w, https:\/\/www.caringdentists.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/bridge.jpg 510w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 205px) 100vw, 205px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1378\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">placing the provisional bridge<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1379\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1379\" style=\"width: 169px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/caringdentists.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/extractedteeth.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1379 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/caringdentists.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/extractedteeth-169x300.png\" alt=\"extractedteeth\" width=\"169\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.caringdentists.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/extractedteeth-169x300.png 169w, https:\/\/www.caringdentists.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/extractedteeth.png 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 169px) 100vw, 169px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1379\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">extracted lateral incisors<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/caringdentists.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/after.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1376\" src=\"http:\/\/caringdentists.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/after-300x192.jpg\" alt=\"after\" width=\"300\" height=\"192\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.caringdentists.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/after-300x192.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.caringdentists.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/after.jpg 557w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This patient was very unhappy with her smile and wanted me to help.
