Case 2
Aesthetics with attention to detail
Direct composite restoration


The patient came to us after part of a front tooth had broken off. Besides the visible aesthetic defect, the main concern was whether the tooth could be restored without needing a crown.
After the condition of the tooth had been assessed, direct composite bonding was chosen as a conservative way of restoring the missing tooth structure.
Composite material was used to rebuild the natural anatomy of the tooth, with particular attention to the shape of the incisal edge and the colour and translucency of the restoration.
The result is a tooth that is whole again, with a composite restoration that blends naturally into the smile and no need for a prosthetic crown.
