Your dentist just said, “You have a small cavity on your tooth.”
Most patients, after swearing a bit, wonder what that looks like. Below is a short primer on what a cavity or tooth decay looks like when its small.

The arrows above are pointing toward different types of decay on this tooth. The color of the tooth around the silver filling is different from side to side. Normal tooth color is below the filling. Above the filing decay is eating away at the tooth. The lower arrow points to a color change coming from UNDER the enamel. The distinction is: its not stain just sitting on top of the tooth. |
Dental Case of the Week: One Front Tooth

Symmetry is so, so important to beauty. Without it a smile is just OFF!
Replacing one front tooth is a nightmare with most crowns.
This case was completed in one appointment. The crown was constructed using CEREC 3D cad-cam. The crown was stained, glazed and fired in a porcelain oven.
Cement. Clean up. Your done! A Wow!

Its such a pleasure to improve the smile to match such a gorgeous woman. The teeth were bleached, two new crowns and two veneers were placed. The teeth were lengthened and given a completely different shape. The upper were placed in the ideal position overlapping the lower teeth. The gaps at the gum-line were closed Thank-you for giving me the opportunity to complete your case. Doug |
