Image	Photo Description
	Extreme Smile Makeover. 1) & 2) Before Photos. 3) & 4) After Photos. A combination of 20 all-porcelain teeth crowns, porcelain veneers and a lower front teeth bridge were used to treat natural tooth discoloration (and yellow old crowns) and a severe bilateral, posterior cross-bite. The cross bite means the upper back teeth closed down inside the lower back teeth. Total treatment time was about four weeks.
	An anterior porcelain dental crown had come out. It is better to rebond this with resin cement than to just use traditional cement.
	Upper anterior tooth preparation for an all porcelain crown (#7). How to pictures. The words, crown and cap, mean the same thing; a dental crown and tooth crown also mean the same thing. A fixed dental bridge, prosthesis or bridgework, typically means more than one crown - and that they are connected together as one piece. The word fixed typically means permanently cemented and not removable by the patient. Some patients incorrectly refer to their removable denture as a bridge.
	All porcelain crown preparation for upper centrals incisor teeth - how to shown on a master model. The width of the shoulder should be around 2 mm. Over preparation will weaken the tooth; under preparation will weaken the dental porcelain. The impression should extend into the gingival sulcus to give the dental lab technician a clean finish line.
	A photo comparison: 1) Porcelain fused to metal tooth crown. 2) All porcelain crown. 3) Porcelain veneer.
	Removing darkness - black gum - around a front tooth. Minor gum surgery and a new porcelain tooth.
	Protruded upper front teeth treated with dental caps. Treatment time could be one day. This patient had an allergic dermatitis and could not wear teeth braces.
	Porcelain teeth crowns in lower jaw replacing broken, stained dental fillings. Treatment time: two visits
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.
