but sometimes we have no choice..this gentleman had radiation and chemotherapy about two years ago and since that time his lower front teeth were continuously getting new areas of decay...
finally we decided to cap them all and hopefully prevent future decay...I had to make sure to get the crown margins below the gum level to prevent gum level decay and that made it even harder..but here he is and here are the crowns at the cementing visit..
the gums are a little puffy from irritation from the temp but i am optimistic that they will tighten up around these little caps!!
It helps when they come out looking this good..the patient loved them!
