Ida came all the way from Semenyih to see me.
She was really anxious to see dentist. I could see that from her fearful expression as she sat on the dental chair.
She could not even recall when was her last dental visit since it was many years ago.
She was unhappy with the overall condition of her teeth, especially her smile.
“What can be done for this front teeth Doctor? Besides braces option?”, she asked.
She didn’t want to wear braces.
Her left lateral incisor was tucked behind and her upper left central incisor was protruded.
The above 3 photos were taken immediately after treatment. Please note the bleeding was because the tooth was removed on the same day.
The FRC bridge view from behind ( the palate side). Note the wound of the freshly extracted left lateral incisor was still raw.
She was delighted with the result!! =)
“Is this for permanent?” she asked.
“Well, I can say it is for semi-permanent. Of course the strength of FRC bridge is not as high as the conventional fixed bridge or implant. It can stay very long if you manage to take care of it properly. We shall teach you on the correct hygiene regime at your review visit since the wound is still raw now,” I said.
I was happy to give her the smile that she wanted. It may not be the ideal or perfect treatment. It was the best for her at that time for me after weighing the pros and cons of each option.
