Dr. Lefty, with her extensive experience in cosmetic dentistry, offers a range of esthetic restorations, including resin fillings and zirconia crowns, in her practice. She combines artistry with advanced materials to create beautiful and functional smiles.

Resin Fillings (Composite Restorations):

  • Conservative Approach:
    • Dr. Lefty utilizes composite resin fillings to repair decayed or damaged teeth in a conservative manner, preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible.
    • These tooth-colored fillings blend seamlessly with the surrounding teeth, providing a natural-looking result.
  • Artistic Application:
    • Dr. Lefty’s artistic eye and meticulous technique allow her to layer and shape the resin to match the natural contours and shades of the patient’s teeth.
    • This ensures a harmonious and aesthetically pleasing restoration.
  • Bonding and Strength:
    • Composite resin bonds directly to the tooth structure, providing strength and support.
    • This bonding process also helps to prevent further decay and strengthens the remaining tooth.

Zirconia Crowns:

  • Exceptional Strength and Durability:
    • For teeth that require more extensive restoration, Dr. Lefty utilizes zirconia crowns, known for their exceptional strength and durability.
    • Zirconia is a biocompatible ceramic material that can withstand the forces of chewing and grinding.
  • Natural Aesthetics:
    • While zirconia is incredibly strong, it also offers excellent aesthetic properties.
    • Dr. Lefty works closely with dental laboratories to create custom-shaded and shaped zirconia crowns that mimic the natural appearance of teeth.
    • These crowns are milled in a laboratory using CAD/CAM technology, insuring a precise fit.
  • Precise Fit and Function:
    • Dr. Lefty ensures a precise fit and optimal function of her zirconia crowns, contributing to long-term comfort and stability.
    • Her Pankey training allows her to make sure that the bite is correct, so that the crown will function properly.
  • Biocompatibility:
    • Zirconia is a very biocompatible material, meaning it is well tolerated by the body. This reduces the risk of allergic reactions or other adverse effects.

Dr. Lefty’s Cosmetic Restoration Approach:

  • Personalized Treatment:
    • Dr. Lefty takes the time to understand each patient’s individual needs and aesthetic goals, creating personalized treatment plans that deliver optimal results.
