Are You Brushing Too Hard?
A common problem many people have is that they brush too hard, causing recession of the gums. This picture following shows an example of a patient with this problem. As you can see, the tooth roots are exposed, causing sensitivity. This can make it very difficult to enjoy ice cream! We were able to repair the problem in a single visit with composite filling materials. The patient was as pleased with the results as we were.
Smile Reconstruction
Today we saw a patient with decay and existing silver fillings in the front teeth. First it was necessary, to remove all the decay and existing amalgam (silver) and composite (bondings). This next picture shows the remaining tooth structure. Finally, we put in the composite, shaping the teeth to match what she had originally. The patient was very happy with the result.
