"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."
