This patient had a very dark tooth that had root canal treatment
due to trauma. She tried home bleaching prior to becoming
a patient in our office. She decided to not limit the treatment
to the dark tooth only because of an important upcoming class
reunion. Treatment consisted of touching up the past whitening
and a complete smile makeover of the upper eight teeth with
all porcelain crowns.

This patient had very large tooth colored fillings in the
upper six front teeth. With the compromised periodontal health
and mobility of the lower front teeth, it wasn’t in his best

tissue recontouring and all porcelain crowns were placed to
restore the upper front teeth.

This patient had orthodontic treatment and showed concern
about the size of his teeth as well as the white spots on

and shape.
