reinventing the wheel
The following patient was dissatisfied with her previous cosmetic result delivered elsewhere, so we literally went back to the digital drawing board to re-design her smile. One of the most impactful concepts we teach at Spear Education is understanding that a smile usually consists of more than just a couple restorations. We use templates and mock-ups to demonstrate to the patient the potential solutions to his/her concerns, to help him/her understand what is possible, to set realistic expectations of the outcome, and, of course, to guide our Cerec design.
Ross ! Your dentistry never disappoints. You combine Spear and Cerecdocs very well. Thanks for sharing!

@Daniel - No hard tissue laser. What I actually showed was the gingivectomy with electrosurge. I did that at the prep and temp appointment to establish the gingival heights and restorative margins, then the periodontist did the definitive crown lengthening.
@Lincoln - these are emax MT BL3.

That is what I do. Establish height with temps and laser and then have perio re-establish biologic width.
Great work. Did you cement the finals or try to bond to cementum?
Awesome Ross. I bet the first cosmetic dentist didn't even TALK about the gingival height issues and just plowed ahead with porcelain. Gotta set the stage in order for the stars of the show (the teeth) to look their best! Glad she saw the benefits to going through the hard work and discomfort to achieve the result one of the best SPEAR/CEREC dentists can deliver.
