Creating the perfect smile takes more than flawless tooth reconstruction or gingival repairs. The perfect smile needs to fit the face of the patient and even enhance their esthetic appearance. Dr. Jose-Luis Ruiz uses a systematic approach to dento-facial evaluation to ensure these esthetic factors do not get overlooked.
Ever since the cosmetic revolution in the 1980s, dentists have reconsidered the use of the ovate pontic design for teeth replacement. Design, procedure and preparation for ovate pontics does, however, require more time and skill than other options. In his 2006 article, Dr. Jose-Luis Ruiz handles the topic with esthetic expertise, outlining techniques for design, extraction, impression and cementation.
After a traumatic facial injury, patients are often able to regain esthetic confidence through reconstructive surgery. These expectations can be brought into the dentist office as well, with little understanding to the complexity of dental reconstruction. Dr. Jose-Luis Ruiz keeps this in mind when compiling a reconstructive treatment plan, being sure that the patient is aware of the degree of difficulty for their case.
In this case report, Dr. Ruiz reached optimal results through conscientious discussing, planning and use of a new all-ceramic fixed partial denture.
For years Dr. Ruiz has been advocating the great benefits of supra-gingival dentistry and the profession is listening as is evident by the cover interview on the March 2010 edition of Dentistry Today on that subject.
Learn the great benefits these innovative techniques have for your patients and for you. It will truly revolutionize the way you do dentistry; it will make it easier, faster and more predictable.
