Broken Teeth Trauma Makeover
Santa Monica
Skateboard Wins
Our young patient was involved in a skateboarding accident.
The adjacent photos indicate what can happen when a skateboard gets out of control.
Our young man was struck directly on the mouth, resulting in broken teeth.
Broken and Chipped Anterior Teeth
The close-up picture reveals damage to the front teeth. Two teeth in particular were in need of repair. For creating a balanced cosmetic result, the patient agreed with Dr. Muslin's recommendation that 3 teeth be treated.
Informed Decision - Dental Treatment of Choice
The foremost concern for our patient was obtaining treatment that would produce the desired results in a minimum of time. After much discussion, the patient elected to have Dr. Muslin use composite bonding materials along with some advanced technologies that would assure long-term endurance for his new smile.
Particle beam (also known as air abrasion) provided the means for preparing the tooth surfaces that assures the least amount of healthy tissue removal. The procedure is also virtually pain-free.
A unique combination of proprietary dental compounds including Gluma, 3M Sealer, Prisma Bond (promotes strength) and Durifil A2 was formulated by Dr. Muslin that produces a stainproof and ultra smooth finish.
Unlike other bonding materials, Dr. Muslin's formulation assures our young patient that his treatment will endure for years to come. He can expect to eat, floss, and chew normally.
Remarkably, our patient's entire treatment was performed in only one hour. No shots, no anesthesia, no invasive drilling.
The unique bonding materials enabled Dr. Muslin to artistically shape the teeth and add shading qualities that matched the patient's remaining teeth.
The use of composite resins in tooth bonding procedures offer a sensible alternative for repairing and revitalizing tooth structures while assuring normal dental function and a pleasant appearance.
