I had the opportunity to assist a patient who had lost a filling on one of their teeth , a temporary white filling was done from anothjer practice. However, it became apparent that there was insufficient space for a crown, so we decided to perform minimal tooth preparation to create the necessary space for a permanent solution.
Matching a single crown to the patient's surrounding teeth is indeed an art, and I'm fortunate to work alongside an incredibly skilled lab technician. Their expertise and attention to detail were instrumental in ensuring that the crown seamlessly blended with the patient's natural teeth, both in terms of appearance and function.
In the end, the patient received a beautifully executed crown that not only restored the tooth's functionality but also contributed to the overall aesthetics of their smile. This case underscores the importance of collaboration between dental professionals and the role of skilled technicians in achieving successful dental outcomes.
