Case Study

Case study Carrie

Dental Challenge:

Carrie, a dental receptionist, had moderately grayish coloured teeth. Plus, her teeth did not show very much when she smiled. She wanted a change!

Solution:

The ideal solution was to place porcelain restorations on her 10 upper teeth to lenthen and whiten them. We placed 10 porcelain restorations in 2 visits that were whiter and longer than her original teeth.

Result:

At first we all felt that the teeth were not quite white enough and so we replaced the 10 restorations with whiter ones. The end result made Carrie happier.

Case Study Kathryn

“Not long ago, when I heard something funny, or wanted to show my pleasure at someone or something I would consciously keep my top lip straight and avoided opening up to anyone because of, what I perceived, was an unattractive smile. Not anymore! My smile is infectious. I am happy to display a healthy and beautiful grin showing ALL my front teeth. Thanks to Chinook Dental Centre, I am proud of my smile. People comment on how I have become more confident and that I look years younger. I never thought that by simply replacing and insertng a few teeth, I could receive such complimentary responses.

Dental Challenge:

Kathryn, a 45 year old in the financial industry, experienced a tooth extraction due to a fracture. Not only did this make smiling less pleasant, she was concerned with a bridge directly behind the extracted tooth. The missing tooth had to be replaced without touching the bridge. In addition, she also had two font teeth protruding at different angles and different gum heights.

Solution:

The ideal solution was to place an implant for the missing tooth and 5 porcelain restorations for the other front teeth. Kathryn had different ideas, due to fear of being put to sleep for the implant, she asked if we had an alternative. The alternative recommendation was to replace the missing eyetooth with a porcelain-metal bridge. Esthetically, the pure porcelain restorations would look better and she was satisfied with the simplicity of local anesthesia.

Result:

We placed a porcelain-metal bridge for Kathryn in 2 visits. Kathryn was very pleased with the results and was now looking forward to an upcoming reunion where she will show off her new attractive smile
