Healthy female in her 50s came to see us for her broken front tooth. All her upper crowns are leaking. She had lost most of her lower back teeth. As there are no back teeth to bite on as support, all her chewing was done by the front teeth. This had caused increased pressure at the front teeth causing them to fail.
The goals of treatment is to remove all hopeless teeth, replace missing back teeth and restore broken teeth.
Her treatment took 8 months.
