The patient is a 55 y.o. woman who comes to our clinic with the desire to improve her image. The exploration reveals an extensive dental destruction by caries and a number of previous failed treatments.
She also has a supernumerary tooth (extra tooth) between her superior central incisors, a condition of which she wasn’t even aware.
After a detailed examination a diagnostic is established and a treatment plan is made, which consisting in the extraction of the anomalous tooth and the rehabilitation of the mouth with porcelain crowns.
The treatment supposed some technical difficulties related to the need of closing an abnormally big space between the central incisors, but the end result was satisfactory for both the patients and us.
The result improved not only the patient’s smile and her oral health, but above all her self esteem. Her new looks gave her more self confidence which helped her to improve her personal situation.
