empress crowns

This man was not happy with his smile. The spaces between his teeth made his teeth appear too small and the angle of his front teeth were slightly tilted. ( First photo) We were able to create a more uniform and masculine smile by crowning 10 upper teeth with EMPRESS crowns. The key to the success of this case was to first create a “trial smile” in plastic. (second photo) This way, Dr. Saylor was able to be ultra conservative in his preparation. And it gave the patient a chance to see what the end result would look like in his mouth, rather on a stone model. We think the final result is beautiful…and the patient can smile with confidence.
Dr. Saylor instructing at the Scottsdale Center

Dr. Saylor has recently returned from instructing at a continuing education course at the Spear Institute at the Scottsdale Center for Dentistry in Scottsdale, Arizona. He was the mentor instructor for two dentists. One Dr. focused was on posterior teeth (back teeth) and the other focused on eight cosmetic veneers. Each Dr. brought a patient from their practice along with their assistant to learn new techniques in restorative and cosmetic dentistry. The Scottsdale Center is the “Harvard” “of dental continuing education institutes in the United States. Dentists who are committed to offering the very best in dentistry attend this world class Institution. Dr. Saylor feels very fortunate to have been invited to be a mentor instructor with this group of exceptional dentists. In fact, he has found the biggest benefit to his patients, is in what helearns while mentoring other dentists. Dental materials are constantly changing and improving. A product which has shown remarkable promise for instance is, a new, all porcelain material used for crowns and inlays/onlays. E-max by Ivoclar provides a very strong and natural restoration. Be sure to ask if you are a candidate for an E-Max restoration.
so, do you think silver fillings cause cracked teeth?

This person had visible crack in the enamel on the outside cusp of this pre-molar which was sensitive to bite on. When the old silver filling was removed, the crack was visible under the old restoration. The amalgam acts as a wedge through the center of the tooth. Biting pressure over the years eventually cause small fractures which sometimes lead to larger fractures..These cracks and fissures make crowning the tooth necessary and sometimes the loss of the tooth altogether.
