Questions About Our Smile Gallery
What will I see in the smile gallery?
The gallery shows dental cases from our Del Rio office, including crowns, bridges, implant placement, resin repairs for worn teeth and crowns placed after root canal treatment. Each group has a short label that describes the problem and the treatment.
What is a Bruxir crown?
A Bruxir crown is a full-contour zirconia crown known for its strength. Dentists often choose this type of crown for back teeth and for patients who clench or grind, because it stands up well to heavy chewing forces.
How do zirconia crowns and bridges look?
Zirconia is tooth-colored and can be shaded to blend with your neighboring teeth. Front tooth crowns in the gallery show how natural the material can appear once it is placed.
Can worn or chipped front teeth be repaired without a crown?
In many cases, yes. Hybrid resins can be bonded to rebuild worn edges and restore translucency, as shown in the anterior wear cases. Whether resin or a crown is the better choice depends on how much tooth structure remains.
What happens when a tooth has a vertical or hairline fracture?
Treatment depends on how deep the fracture goes. Some teeth need a root canal followed by a strong crown to protect them, while others cannot be saved and are replaced with an implant or bridge. An exam and X-rays help us tell which applies to you.
Will my results look exactly like the photos?
Every mouth is different, so results vary from patient to patient. The gallery gives you a realistic idea of what is possible, and we will go over a plan built around your own teeth, health and goals.
How do I find out which treatment is right for me?
Schedule a visit with our Del Rio team. We will examine your teeth, talk through your options and explain the steps, timeline and cost before any treatment begins.
