Photos of Dental Procedure
WARNING: DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!
In the beginning...
Removing decayed tooth
All that is left is a small portion of root and tooth wall
A dental burr designed for drilling teeth
Making a burr into a post using highspeed handpiece with diamond file
Preparing a hole to anchor the post
Positioning the post
The post is cemented into place and ready to be built on
The first layer of filling material is put onto the post
Layer upon layer is added and light cured
Sanding down of the tooth
Shaping the tooth to match the other
Polishing both teeth to match in shape and color
And a new tooth is born from a very unconventional procedure!
