Joy Found Minnetonka Dentistry in Wayzata

Dentistry in Minnetonka does not always have the best interests of the patient as a whole in mind. A common scenario for a patient is that he or she may have had many large fillings placed on their front teeth to take care of present decay. Years later larger fillings are placed because of recurring decay. Often the fillings become so large that a stronger crown must be placed.

The problem here is that all too often there is not a discussion of how the whole smile will look and the patient is only told to repair the one tooth. Now the patient is stuck with the mismatched color of that tooth and any subsequent treatment is always in that same detrimental color. Eventually this “patch-up” type of dentistry creates a very undesirable smile.

When Joy got to this point she asked what we could do and I told her, “We need to work on as many teeth as it takes to make your smile look good. Sometimes that’s one tooth; sometimes it’s twenty-eight. Smile for me and it should be pretty easy to see.” We worked on twelve upper teeth and finally Joy has a smile that she can be proud of!
