A happy surfer

Juan is a nice young man and he came to us the very day he broke his superior incisive tooth while surfing.



As one easily see, the tooth had a pretty bad fracture, and at the exploration a pulp horn exposition can be seen.



We had to do him a Root Canal Treatment and an almost complete reconstruction of the broken tooth, so he had put up with a pretty fine and laborious treatment. Luckily, many of our patients fall asleep during the treatment! That day when he left our clinic he was painless and with his tooth in one piece again.



We recommended him though that he should come again to have a crown placed as it is the only way to prevent a new fracture in the future. We opted in this case for an all porcelain crown that assures an unmatched aesthetic effect. What a pity he didn’t let us reconstruct him the edge of the adjacent incisive!
