Full disclosure: This is not the greatest case ever. I knew there was a good chance this would look crazy if we tried to close the space (and it kinda does if you're into unwavering Golden Proportions). The primary driver of the treatment was root caries, not vanity.
I'll answer a couple questions preemptively:
Yes, he is on Prevident for life......yes, he should have had ortho, among other things....yes this is immediate post op marginal photography......yes, I got permission to share (not sure if Dolores signed off). BUT the email we received made this case worth sharing with you all, if for no other reason than to make you laugh.....
This actually showed up in our inbox yesterday:
Sheila please tell Dr. Vacek and his lovely aides (who did an excellent job of not waterboarding this mouth breather) that I could not be happier with the results of my last two visits. I now smile wide without self-conscience inhibiting me, I’m back to being the wise guy, smart a s s I’ve always been, yet without the embarrassment of my yellow gap teeth.
Thank you all!
My Delores is 69, I’m 66. I like older chicks, she liked younger guys.... I really do believe your work served to end the, uh.... 14 year “drought” my Delores and I had. 45 years of joy reignited. Mmm, mmm, mm.
I’ll see you again in a few months for a regular cleaning and work on my last cavitous back tooth.
THANK YOU!!!!!!!
George
