Remembering our past...

When we think of Esthetics today, Dentures are typically forgotten about. I strongly believe that in order to have a firm grasp on Esthetic concepts today dealing with all ceramics, one must have a full understanding of Dentures. Setting teeth will give technicians a strong understanding of esthetics, tooth relationships, and occlusion. Once we have a full understanding of these concepts, the sky is the limit when it comes to restoring with all ceramics!

No Prep. Feldspathic Chips

Here's another AMAZING case from Emma - She really mastered this technique. In this case the patient wanted to close all the spaces between her lower anteriors. The patient was presented with the option of orthodontics, but declined. So we decided to do no preparation feldspathic chips to close the spaces. What a result! (sorry to my orthodontist colleagues) With the utilization of skill and materials we feel confident with this technique - we used GC Initial MC for this case. Click on the picture to enlarge.

White and Pink Fixed

Just wrapped this case up - the patient came to us do to a motorcycle accident. He lost much bone, but with the use of pink porcelain we achieved a pretty good result with proper hygiene access, and pretty good estethics for his situation - Upper screw retained bridge - the lower was a fun experience - Custom abutment and the creation of two metal ceramic crowns on the one coping, so much fun!!!

I had a great opportunity to speak in front of some of my mentors in the field of Dentistry. It was a great experience, and very humbling. It was very strange to look out in the audience at many people i have studied under, such as Klaus Müterthies, Dr. Ed Mclaren, and my father Dr. Barry Polansky. Cant wait to do it again!!
