Nice case of 12 diagnostic wax-ups for a veneer smile makeover case I have done recently.
Four anterior veneers made with 3M ESPE Lava Ceram, my preferred porcelain for veneer cases on BegoVest refractory die material. It is the only material to let you control coefficient of expansion by mixing liquid and water to desired ratio.
I made this six unit PFM anterior bridge using good old Matchmaker porcelain. Good news - patient was delighted with the result. Bad news - bridge did not fit so it had to be re-made.
Unity in shape and colour, and higher strenght than your average porcelain. It was this patient's lucky day!
Three unit diagnostic wax-up in the anterior region serving as a guide to a subsequent metal-free restoration.
This bridge was made for a client in London's Harley Street using Willi Geller Creation porcelain and featuring only one premolar per side as requested by the surgeon.
Nice and easy porcelain to work with, giving predictable and reliable results.
Seven e-max crowns made on a pressed MO-0 core. I have noticed that most of the images I take do not show translucency...
I do use translucency as this image shows, but problem seems to be with my lack of ability to capture it on camera. Any suggestions anyone?
Nice example of a crown after first firing. Slight adjustments were needed, followed by glaze and hey - years of service to a satisfied patient.
Palatal (erm, palatinal) view.
Long hours at work are over. Nowadays, instead of sitting all day and night at work, I can do nights at home. It is more relaxing - trust me. I haven't slept in 20 years.
This is one of my best works to date, as image clearly shows: An implant retained Popcorn bridge! Took me ages...patience...steady hand and Hinari microwave.
Yep, men love me and women fear me! Top image on the right: spot of go-kart racing. Yours truly sticks out like a sore thumb (wearing blue) with Oliver Brix in the hot seat in number six. I might tell you one day who won that race. Next pic, dinner with choice technicians from all over the globe.
