Emergency Repair of Two Fractured Front Teeth

Posted in Cosmetic Dentistry

Trauma Needing Immediate Care

Having fractured her two front teeth after falling down, this patient was desperately seeking an immediate esthetic correction. Our in-house laboratory quickly fabricated two custom temporary crowns, which we placed two days later.

Prior to fabricating her final crowns, we whitened her other teeth, which were too yellow for her age bracket. Once the whitening had been completed, our technician worked directly with her at the chair to register her color and translucency characteristics in order to fabricate custom final crowns that blended with her natural teeth and matched her facial structure and lip line. She has now been rejuvenated with an even better “look” than before her accident.
