Restoration of front teeth

The patient came to our clinic with complaints about aesthetic defects of the anterior teeth 2.1, 2.2, 1.1 and 1.2 (irregularities, chips, uneven color).

The doctor proposed two options for solving the problem: placing veneers with gumline contouring or restoration using the direct method.

Direct restoration is a procedure in which the tooth is restored in a single visit and performed by the doctor directly in the oral cavity using composite filling materials. Technically, it is a dental filling with high strength and aesthetic properties. This method is most often used to build up chips, cracks, partially destroyed tooth crowns and other enamel defects.

The advantages and disadvantages of each method, how the treatment would be carried out, and the cost of the procedures were explained to the patient in detail; after that, she chose the direct method of tooth restoration.

The patient spent a total of 3.5 hours in the dentist's chair.
