Congenital Dental Defects

Missing Incisor Teeth Replacement

Encore vs Maryland

The popular treatment of using a Maryland Bridge would create the current cosmetic goal of having a full smile but would also involve significant invasive alteration of adjacent tooth structures... which she did not want.

Dr. Halmaghi's treatment plan incorporated the use of an Encore Bridge which is constructed with a fiber reinforced polymer framework with a porcelain veneer. The absence of metal eliminates the typical metallic "shine through" associated with Maryland Bridges.

The polymer framework (patented unidirectional glass fibers) is completely bondable and therefore does not require invasive preparation of abutment teeth.

The cosmetic result exceeded our patient's expectations. She now has the smile she wanted which will endure for years without the possibility of acquiring the "metallic-look" that is commonplace with ordinary bridgework.

There are indeed alternatives to even the most standard of treatment plans. With today's advancements in dental technologies and materials, Dr. Halmaghi is able to create a choice of treatment plans to meet just about any type of unique need related to genetic abnormalities in dentition for his patients.
