EDUCATION FOR DENTAL PATIENTS: UNDERSTANDING THE FOUR DIFFERENT TYPES OF CROWNS
Each and every morning after you wake, you are soon greeted by your reflection in the mirror, and hopefully it is smiling. Wouldn’t it be great if you were always greeted by a mouth full of perfect, gleaming white teeth?
