Performed by Joel F. Levy, DDS Larchmont, NY

Case: 9137
Category: Crowns & Bridges
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Skin Tone: Fair
Description: This young woman had a single crown which was done several years prior as a result of an accident. She now wanted to replace it, as it had become unsightly. Mom was told that if we did replace the crown, it might require replacement in a few years as the teeth reach their final positions and growth eases. With her approval, we attempted to improve this young lady's self esteem. The gum height is different, so we recommended a little gum recontouring. At this point they decided not to go ahead with that procedure. Although it is not perfect, it is a great improvement.

After photos were taken 1 Month after surgery.

Details: Color and vitality were perfect. She was thrilled. I just wish We could have pushed up the gum, just a sliver to make the 2 front teeth appear the same size. It wasn't desired ,so we didn't. Patients have the right to decide how far to go. If there is an alternative that does not unduly threaten the result, we try to comply. Happy patients are what we are after
