"Those are beautiful crowns!!"

by Gino Pagano on 08/01/11

One might think that I would consider it a great success to hear a patient tell me they heard... "Those are beautiful crowns" after leaving my office with some brand spanking new dental work.  But in reality, that's not what I want patients to hear.  I want patients to hear "You have beautiful teeth."  The secret to doing great cosmetic dentistry is making it "disappear" in the mouth...it should appear natural and not stick out.  In the photo above, the right front top tooth and the two behind it are crowns, and the left front top tooth and the two behind it are natural teeth.  I would say it's difficult to distinguish the crowns from the teeth.  I consider that a success!!
