    Hello everyone

    This patient presented to my office and was unsatisfied with her smile for many years.  She fell off her bike as a child and broke her front tooth.  Her childhood dentist placed a porcelain fused to metal crown which caused her to shy away from smiling as a young adult, even in her wedding photos.  After becoming a mother and raising her children, she decided it was time to do something for herself by giving her confidence in her smile.

    The treatment plan was to enhance her smile and teeth proportion.  A wax-up for 10 restorations was done to show the patient what her teeth could look like with the proper plan.  This included a guide for a ‘gum-lift’ and a Sil-tech transfer guide so her temps resembled her wax-up.  We allowed her 2 weeks to give us feedback on her temps before we processed her final restorations   I used Luxatemp and bonded the temps using the acid-etch technique (no bonding agent).

    The photos are pre-op and immediately after cementing her restorations in.  She was in temps for 6 weeks.

    Final restorations are eMax.
