A broken front tooth fixed for Dirk, visiting from Germany

Dirk travelled from Germany with a badly broken upper front tooth. The break went deep enough to expose the pulp, the living tissue inside the tooth, and the teeth on either side were damaged as well.

We started with root canal treatment on three teeth to clear the infection and keep the natural roots. The broken central incisor then got a porcelain crown, and the teeth beside it got laminates matched to that crown, so the front teeth look like a set.
