Treatment completed at Lush Dental Studio, Sacramento. Individual results vary.
The tooth that no longer matched
One tooth that sits darker than its neighbors can be the first thing you notice in a smile. Here, the small tooth just to the patient's right of the two front teeth looked more yellow than the teeth beside it. The rest of the smile did not need a row of veneers.
Discoloration alone does not always mean a crown. Whitening, bonding, or a veneer can be enough for some teeth. For this tooth, Dr. Khan placed a single e.max crown so the shade and shape could be matched to the teeth next to it.
A crown that blends in
In the after photo, the crown shares a shade and shape with the neighboring teeth. The two front teeth, the matching small tooth on the other side, and the canines are the patient's own.
The goal is a match, not a brighter standalone tooth. We treated this one tooth only.
