Smile Gallery: Tooth-Colored Fillings

This patient presented to our practice with the chief complaint of the slightly open space between his front two teeth. Dr. Pruthi closed up the diastema over one visit. 

Our practice is based on preventive bread and butter dentistry. We believe that what nature gave you is better than anything we can do. So, we try to do things as conservatively as possible. This example shows a tooth that got a cavity under a sealant which was placed when the patient was a child. Cavities addressed at this stage result in stronger (due to more enamel to bond to) and more longer lasting fillings. The end result looks like a brand new tooth and that' exactly how our patient felt!

This patient previously had braces and wanted to address her "small teeth." We provided her with a take-home whitening kit and used direct compost bonding to create her new summer smile in a single visit!

This patient presented to our office with a chief complaint of a stained tooth. She had some fillings done a long time ago and was generally happy with her smile except for a front tooth with a discolored filling. A simple bonding helped her get the color of her tooth right.
