This was a rewarding case to do. This patient had years of cumulative chipping on the bottom chewing edges of the top front teeth. Bonding chips with a single shade of composite resin is something that a lot of dentists do regularly. But what makes this different is that these teeth had a lot of what's called "characterizations." You'll notice that these front teeth have a sort of white halo outlining the bottom edge of the teeth - that's the character. If a single shade was used here, then the bonding would stand out. But by adding some opaque white ...
When this patient's previous composite bonding had discolored, we agreed to have them replaced. The previous bonding was only on two of the front teeth. This made it more challenging to replace the previous bonding while not also bonding the other teeth that were healthy and didn't need work done otherwise.
Through the use of different resin composite types, and also resin tints, we were able to achieve a seamless match to the other teeth. While we might normally remove white spots with a technique called "resin infiltration," in this instance I felt it fit the patient more aesthetically to recreate ...
Some folks love their gap between their two front teeth, others REALLY don't.. If you find yourself in the camp of not liking that gap there's a good chance that conservative and additive bonding is a great solution for you! Often times this procedure doesn't even require you to be numb to complete since no natural tooth structure is removed. Another option to close the gap would be orthodontics. But if your have a "tooth width to arch length discrepancy," which is to say that your teeth are too small for your mouth, then orthodontics may not provide the desired ...
If you are ever so "lucky" as to have a traumatic accident to your front teeth, you'll know it feels terrible. Not only does the tooth hurt, but it hurts to look at the missing parts too! Fortunately, there can be a relatively quick fix to this problem with conservative composite bonding. Using this technique minimal, and often none, tooth structure needs to be removed. The tooth colored composite can often be identically matched and added to replace what was missing.
In this case one of the rewarding challenges for me is to recreate the subtle characteristics of missing parts of ...
