Top to bottom

So what happens when I make a patient's upper teeth look so good that now the lower teeth which seemed to be good... look lousy??
Well you got it....we do the lower teeth!
Here is the case where the patient had upper caps done and wanted them nice and white and now the lower teeth look like ...well you know...

So we prep all the lower teeth...and if you are looking you will see that one is already an implant....

We are going for the gold here...that is we want the most esthetic result possible so I am making crowns with a gold metal underlay for support...and the gold tone gives a very nice esthetic look to the porcelain which will be baked on...here are the gold substructures(copings)first on the lab model and then on the prepped teeth....


All the copings fit very well...a new bite relationship is recorded and the case is sent back to the lab for the porcelain...so come back next time to see how it all looks!!

We were just looking at the blog and Racheli saw this picture and says, "Chanukah Menorah!" How funny is that?!
