Final Ceramic
This patient came to me after having a traumatic accident where his front tooth was lost. Luckily, his other front tooth was not affected. One of the most challenging aesthetic things we do in dentistry is to match a patient's natural front tooth with an adjacent ceramic front tooth. A lot of experienced communication with the dental lab and ceramist goes into making this successful, and it is not unusual to have do a one or two custom color appointments to get it right.
The biggest benefit here is that we are conserving the other front tooth, and do not need to do any dental work on it. Keep a single tooth issue, a single tooth issue, as they say. It is definitely a more challenging treatment, but it protects the patient's teeth from further dental treatment.
