Pleasure derived from restoring a smile after a dental treatment is immense; here is a catalog of images before and after treatment in several situations. Dentistry has advanced by leaps and bounds in a very short span. Improved availability of materials with superior characteristics has made minimally invasive biomimetic dentistry possible. Dental adhesives have made possible conservative preparations of teeth to receive filling restoring form, beauty as well as function. Nothing gives a clinician more joy than restoring the pearly whites to the patient’s satisfaction.
Cheers!
Keep Smiling.
Legend
15-year-old boy with fractured central incisors following a fall. Light cure restorative build-ups, preserving the teeth with minimal intervention/cutback of enamel.
Cervical abrasion on upper L incisor and lower incisors. The natural contour of teeth restored with tooth-colored fillings.
Midline space (diastema) between upper central incisors. The patient complained of embarrassment while smiling and food trapping between teeth. Teeth restored to good contact with light cure build-ups.
The patient wanted brighter and whiter teeth. Bleaching was done to achieve a very satisfying result.
Decay in upper front teeth; good aesthetic result achieved by proper shade matching and contoured matrix.
Broken central incisor following a fall. The child was being ridiculed and bullied. Aesthetic build-up to repair the broken dentition.
Pit and fissure caries on molar teeth. Drilled to remove decay conservatively and filled with restorative material for proper form and function.
