Thanks, teacher. That's what I thought. I thought that the other one might be possible because the 3 teeth shown are in one picture, and the dentist used it, but not a native speaker though. I just doubt myself when I see others write stuff that are wrong!

Teacher, I have another question. Why did you change 'these' to 'those'? Is 'these' wrong or is 'those' just better, because the picture is infront of me?

Yes. 'These' sounds odd, given the description you gave us.
