Image	Photo Description
	Cosmetic dentistry treatment of upper and lower right canine teeth. The patient declined orthodontics. The upper and lower canines were extracted and the distal of the laterals and the mesial of the first premolars were bonded to close the space. The second photo is one week following extraction. Cosmetic bonding was placed before the teeth were extracted so the patient never had to show the space between her teeth. Refer to other images in this series.

	Teeth Bonding & Sculpting, tooth reshaping. The patient's canine teeth were congenitally in the lateral incisor position bilaterally. The canines were shortened and bonding was added to the mesials to square them. The mesio-incisal of #8 was also bonded after sculpting and stripping interproximally. Total treatment time: 1 hour (without the need for shots)
	Teeth Bonding & Sculpting, reshaping incisal adjustment. Treatment time: one visit
	Cosmetic Dentistry - extraction of a supernumerary tooth and teeth bonding. Treatment time: one visit! The supernumerary tooth was first prepared to open the interproximal area between the remaining teeth. Dental bonding was then placed interproximally on both teeth as if the supernumerary was already gone (this gives a clean field). Then the supernumerary was extracted.
	Tooth Bonding and sculpting - incisal adjustment - lower front teeth eliminates the crooked appearance. Treatment time: 30 minutes without shots.

	Cosmetic bonding of both upper lateral incisors to make them appear further forward. 1) Frontal view showing the upper lateral incisors appear behind the central incisors. 2) Occlusal view of the same. 3) Post-op frontal view following bonding of the lateral incisors. 4) Post-op occlusal view shows bonding material has been added to the labial surface of the laterals to make them appear further forward.
Information about these dental photos In medicine and dentistry "left" and "right" are based upon the orientation of the patient's body and not how they appear in a photograph of a smile. For example, a reference to the upper left teeth will actually appear to be on the right side when viewing a picture of the face and similarly an upper right tooth will appear to be on the left side. Many words in dentistry like oral and mouth have a similar meaning and are frequently used together to help our readers find specific words they best understand. This is particularly important because a majority of our visitors are from countries where English is not their primary language. Maxilla or maxillary refer to the upper jaw. Mandible or mandibular refer to the lower jaw. There are many other similar word combinations used throughout this website because our pages are read by patients and dentists. A few of the most common are discussed here. Tooth decay, tooth cavity and dental caries all mean the same thing. Tooth, teeth and dental are also frequently interchanged as in teeth veneers or dental veneer laminate. Oral rehabilitation and dental reconstruction mean smile makeover. The word for x-ray may be used with or without a hyphen (this is true for other words too) and can also be called a radiograph.
