A is a 20 something professional who broke her front tooth in her teenage years. She had a crown put on the tooth but it looked uneven. She wanted to improve her front tooth. Treatment sequence: Mock up Crown lengthening Prototype Full ceramic crown (Emax)
AA002
Her left front incisor is shorter than her right front incisor
AA003
Her smile line is pleasant, the short left front incisor is the only distraction.
AA004
We mock up a proposed tooth using composite resin to test out the effect on her smile. Patient was pleased.
AA005
Close up of the mock up to mirror her natural front right incisor. We use this mock up as a guide.
AA006
Crown lengthening was a small gum surgery to make the tooth longer.
AA007
It takes 8 weeks for the gum to stabilize. We refined the temporary crown during this period.
AA008
When the gum has healed, we removed the temporary crown to take impression.
AA009
The final crown looked natural. Gum has adapted well to the ceramic crown.
AA010
The final result is a natural and balanced smileline.
AA016
A happy patient.
