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!


Before treatment, a very large white filling doesn't match.

Yellow, twisted teeth with spaces don't look good.

The patient had yellow, twisted, misshaped teeth. Treatment was performed in two visits. The patient’s teeth were prepared to allow complete control of the shape of the veneers. Notice slight irregularities to give the most natural look.

Before & After ~ Gum Contouring & Dental Crown

These photographs have not been retouched.

This patient had a crown placed that was too opaque, too white, and not a good shape. The tissue covered too much of the crown.

Treatment was preformed in one visit. Reshape the tissue with a diode laser. Remove the old crown, removed a metal post, replaced the post with a white fiber post, construct a new all porcelain crown made with CEREC, stain & glaze the crown. Finally, Cement the crown with an aesthetic bonding system.

The patient was very pleased with the outcome!
