This patient presented to our Ahwatukee office recently with a chief complain of "broken smile". She has been taking care of her elderly parents and putting her needs last. She realized there were several issues she needed to handle but her main concern was the front teeth which had broken off and fractured. We talked about how it is important to have back teeth to support the weight of a bite; the patient understood this and elected to start address her functional and cosmetic situation on the front before moving on to the back teeth. What you see is the initial presentation and the final restoration of three teeth. We focused more on strength for the front teeth because we knew this may be a staged or limited treatment case; the patient went to the lab to make sure that we matched her existing dental work.
