Flat On Your Face: Dealing with Facial Trauma

I met her one Sunday morning in my office hysterical and in tears: two front teeth were missing half of their original perfect structure after a fall on the pavement the day before. X-rays did not show any obvious damage to the nerves, and there was no mobility. There was hope for her front teeth. She stopped crying, I felt better. The hope was riding on two porcelain crowns that I suggested to her to restore her front teeth back to life. She agreed.

She left my office that Sunday morning with two provisional crowns and no longer crying. A week later, two porcelain crowns recreated the health and beauty of her natural teeth.
