All-Porcelain Crowns & Bridge
Smile of the Month
May 2017
While last month’s Smile of the Month may have been only a One-Tooth Wonder — Dr. Allan Mohr’s case for May is a bit more involved.
Aesthetics can be considered the difference between good dental care and dental excellence. The experienced cosmetic dentist must navigate between various types of restorative options, porcelain types, smile guidelines and patient preferences to meet or exceed expectations and achieve exceptional results.
Dr. Mohr, with over 30 years of cosmetic experience, realized in Marilyn’s case that proper planning was critical to create the smile she wanted. Through a comprehensive exam that included: 1) x-rays; 2) 21 photographs of the her “before smile”; 3) a thorough periodontal assessment; 4) facial measurements; 5) a diagnostic wax design of the proposed smile; and 6) digital imaging to show her options… Dr. Mohr left no stone unturned.
Marilyn had temporary teeth from another dentist that were not proportional, bulky, and displayed what is termed a “reverse smile.” This is where the four front teeth are too short in relation to adjacent teeth.
After gathering all the needed diagnostic information, Dr. Mohr could transform Marilyn’s teeth into the smile of her dreams. Her treatment included an all-porcelain bridge and crowns on previously placed implants.
Whether it’s one tooth that bothers you, or your entire smile — let Dr. Mohr and the team of Smile Creations 4U design and satisfy your desires!
