Appearance and function were both important issues. Motivated by cosmetics, this patient also had many functional problems with her teeth. Cavities and falling restorations were present, and a grinding habit had caused her teeth to become worn, chipped and loose.
She now has the smile of her dreams. All teeth were restored using metal-ceramic crowns (the strongest ceramic restorations available). Crowns on weak teeth were splinted together to provide stability and support. Porcelain margins avoided metal shadows at the gum lines.
