"I have enclosed pre- and post-operative photos of some of Aurum's fine work. You make me look good. The patient is a middle aged lady with a history of a high incidence of dental problems. As a result, she lost teeth and had posterior bite collapse. Every one of her remaining teeth had been extensively restored with amalgam or composite restorations.

Her initial concern was the appearance of her front teeth. However, after having her situation explained, she understood the need to restore her posterior occlusion before proceeding with the restoration of her front teeth. A previously done bridge on the lower right was retained. Her posterior occlusion was reestablished with three new porcelain-fused-to-metal bridges. We were then able to respond to her original concerns about her upper front teeth.

Her six upper anteriors were restored with Empress partial crowns which involved the labial surfaces and any other previously restored areas of the teeth. We restored her six lower anteriors with conservative direct bonded composites."
