Less Is More: The Tale of One Front Tooth

In dentistry, one of the most difficult situations for a dentist and the lab technician is to match a single crown or veneer to the rest of the adjacent teeth (especially when they are natural).  At SiliconBeach.Dental, we are fortunate to work with world-class highly skilled ceramists.  These ceramists with their strict protocols allow for our patients to do more with less. In the past, it was common to recommend replacing the front two centrals, in some cases even canine to canine to allow for easier and proper shade and shape matching.  

In today's age with technology, a better understanding of the materials we have, dental photography, we are able to do much more with less.  The following video will allow you to see the various steps and techniques used to allow for our ceramist to produce restorations that are more lifelike than the natural existing teeth!
