This patient arrived in my office on a Friday afternoon referred from a Miami Beach 5-star hotel.  Her New York Manhattan aesthetic dentist had recently replaced the two central incisors with feldspathic porcelain bonded new crowns. This was performed due to fractures in  the previous restorations. I noticed that there was also a hairline  fracture in the left central incisor crown and when I called  her  dentist he advised that I remove both crowns and fabricate temporary restorations.  He did not know exactly why these new crowns were failing.

This is an unfortunate yet interesting case. This dentist’s web site indicated that he was not only well trained but the author of a book on aesthetic dentistry. So, things do go wrong, even with the best dentists.
