SINGLE ANTERIOR · CASE 09

A Single Central, Considered

This single anterior crown case brings together an initial view of a reduced upper central incisor, shade-reference photography, a laboratory model view, fit-stage records and follow-up photographs. The sequence focuses on the restoration's outline and surface character beside the neighboring teeth.

Original case photography. Clinical treatment is provided by the treating dentist; individual results vary.

The starting photographs already show a prepared central incisor. Before means before the full-contour restoration in this supplied sequence, not an untreated tooth.

Right lateral unretracted smile

Before
After

Both photographs show a right-lateral unretracted smile. The before record shows an already-prepared central incisor, not an untouched pre-treatment tooth. Natural lip opening, lighting and magnification differ.
