Cases Completed at Eric Heim Dental

Case for a crown #3 using the Medit i700 scanner. The tooth was broken-down before starting. Here is a video of how we can use a scanner to help fix a broken tooth to make a crown to help protect the tooth in the future.

Implant cases

This was a case where we were able to replace a few missing teeth for a patient with a couple of implants and an implant bridge. The patient and I were very happy with our results

The patient had some wear on the tooth near their gumline (abfraction)

We placed a tooth colored filling to protect the area along with recommending a night guard

The tooth colored filling had fractured on the patient leaving the tooth susceptible to tooth decay

After removing the old filling and the tooth decay we placed a new filling. The blue marks show where the patient is biting on the tooth.

This is a zirconia crown that was fabricated in the dental lab

The patient had chipped their tooth and we were able to get a great natural looking new crown. Matching one front tooth is one of the hardest things to do in dentistry. The patient and I were very happy with the result.

Maryland Bridge

We were able to add a ceramic tooth in this space that looked like a missing tooth. It is called a Maryland bridge. We do not need to drill on the adjacent teeth with a Maryland bridge

How the tooth looked after removing tooth decay

How the tooth looks after having a composite filling done. The tooth will need a crown in the future since it is more prone to breaking due to the size of the filling.
