simple #scaling saves teeth from falling

lots of people think getting their cleaned by the dentist makes it weak.this is the biggest and most frequent myth I encounter in my practice. for example see this case ...where the patient refused scaling for years despite lot of calculus. atlast she trusted my word and that made her teeth shining

#brokentooth reconstruction

This case was a challenge , for two reasons,1. the crown is broken completely and there is ginival bleeding.2.less clearance b coz of supra eruption of opposing upper tooth.
but the post and core buildup worked out well and the patient opted for ametal crown ,so it is placed.

correction of #protrudedteeth


for best results in aesthetic dentistry, the zirconium crowns are the latest ones which are stronger than conventional ceramic crowns .
see this case , the patient is 27 years of age with severe class 2 malocclusion, with fanning of anterior teeth,two of them already discoloured. the patient had marriage in three months. orthognathic surgery is ruled out as the patient doesnt want it.we have devised a two step trt,
1. orthodontic correction or protruded teeth
2.zirconium crowns in 13 to 23, which is acting both as retention device and gives aesthetic corection of disoloured teeth.
