From the previous entry on our blog, you can see that we can dramatically change a patient’s smile.  This picture is  of the same patient after we replaced the previous  dentistry with metal free, all ceramic crowns.  The symmetry that can be achieve and a natural appearance in addition to improving his smile  can result in a very healthy, young appearance.

Some patients will ask me “why doesn’t this  look right?” I’ll visit with them that it is not uncommon for this to happen.  In nature, like many things, teeth are symmetrical.  Symmetry in tooth size, shape, and color is what gives us a pleasing smile.  Nothing was done wrong in this picture expect for the use of dis-similar material to close the patients space between his front teeth.    My recommendation to this patient was to use similar materials with one common color to give him a natural, pleasing smile.
