Kenneth Hovden DDS

Our Dental Study Club had the pleasure of having Dr Calamita to a full day presentation for us.  This is the 21st year I have been providing high level education to local dentists so we can all be better tomorrow than we are today!

25 years ago, I helped restore this patient’s function by treating a cavity on her molar. Fast forward to today—the tooth cracked, needed repair, but the filling held strong! A testament to the longevity of quality dentistry. With a new filling in place, here’s to another 25 years of healthy smiles!

Here’s our young patient after one year of direct resin bonding on four of her front six teeth! This conservative treatment not only closed spaces but also created a more natural size.

It’s incredible to see how well resin holds up—lasting an estimated 7-10 years. As her tissue matures, she’ll have the option to decide between redoing the resin or moving to porcelain.
