Treatment completed at Lush Dental Studio, Sacramento. Individual results vary.
When bonding reaches the end of its life
Composite bonding does not last forever. On this patient, old bonding on the two front teeth had stained and broken down. The before photo shows bonding that has picked up stain, worn, and broken at the edges. The two front teeth no longer match each other or the teeth beside them.
Failed bonding does not automatically mean crowns. Some cases can be refinished or rebonded. For this smile, Dr. Khan replaced the old bonding with two zirconia crowns so the teeth could share one shade and a more durable shape.
Two zirconia crowns
In the after photo, the two front teeth match each other and sit more quietly in the smile. The side teeth are the patient's own. Only the two front teeth were crowned.
