A case in progress Denver Dentist

The following is a case in progress in our office. Basically the orthodontics if finished and we are planning on either some type of dental bonding or dental veneers.

These are actual cases that Dr's DeLapp have completed or are in the process of completing. The following case is a good example of the fact that it may take several different dental disciplines in order to get the result we seek.








This case shows the remarkable nature of orthodontics. The space between the front teeth was excessive and there is no way that our Denver Dentists could improve the esthetics. The reason for the wide gap (diastema) is a frenum attachment between the front teeth. The frenum is very fibrous tissue that can keep teeth apart. The teeth will stay apart until this tissue is removed. One of the first steps in this case was to remove the frenum attachment.

Stage 2 Orthodontic Denver Dentist

The Second stage was for the orthodontist to approximate the two front teeth. This took a couple of years to get accomplished and the outcome was very good.

Stage three Dental veneers or dental bonding Denver Dentist (pending)

The last stage our Denver Dentist and patient is looking at is one of the following:

• No treatment leave as is ( a much better result than the before!)
• Teeth whitening or teeth bleaching only (for a brighter smile)
• Dental filling to fix the broken tooth on #9 patients left central incisor
• Dental bonding to fix the broken tooth#9 and add to the worn tooth #8 patients right central incisor
• Dental veneers and dental whitening to align both front teeth

Each of these options has their pluses and minuses. Cost may be the deciding factor. As far as anticipated longevity the dental veneers on most patients is the longest lasting service. The issue is this is the greater economic investment (dental veneers cost more).

Denver Dentist White dental fillings (303) 694-9740

White Dental fillings Denver Dentist

White dental fillings are becoming the staple of this Denver dentists dental office. It is replacing in many (but not all) instances the old silver amalgam restorations. The amalgam restoration was composed of two metals mercury and silver plus some other trace elements. Since mercury was combined with silver it does not have the same toxic effects that mercury would have by itself. The current ADA opinion is that is that it is save to use with patients. Denver Dentists Dr. James DeLapp and Dr. H. Candace DeLapp provide a variety of dental services to their patients in the Highlands Ranch, Castle Pines, Parker. Ken Caryl, Lone Tree, and Greenwood Village areas of Colorado. Please feel free to contact their office at (303) 694-9740.

Old amalgam fillings turn black in time

Our Denver Dentist has seen many examples of silver amalgam restorations breaking down and turning black in time. This blackness in part is due to corrosion of the silver in the amalgam formula. As the filling breaks away bacteria can percolate down between the silver filling and the tooth structure resulting in a cavity (decay) under the dental filling. Most of the time we cannot tell how much cavity is under the dental filling until we remove it . What we hope for is none to minimal but at times the decay can be substantial.
