This teen broke off the corner of his front tooth playing soccer. He was seen by an emergency doctor who at that time, bonded the broken tooth in place. The patient and his family then met with Dr. Shanard to determine a long-term solution for the tooth. Dr. Shanard recommended that the tooth be restored with a bonded composite resin until the patient graduated from high school. At that time, Dr. Shanard replaced the bonded composite resin with a permanent porcelain veneer (see the final result under single front tooth restorations). The patient was delighted with both the short term and long term solution to his situation.
