Teeth Bonding - Esthet-X Composites
 |
| (Before) |
(After) |
Our young patient here, an 18
year old female, presented to
the office with a history of
previous orthodontic work and
persistent excessive spacing (diasthema)
on her front teeth due to
undersized or "peg"
shaped lateral incisors. After
discussing a number of treatment
plans recommended by Dr. Petulla,
the patient opted to bleach her
teeth with the Zoom take-home
whitening system.
After establishing the degree of
whiteness desired, chairside
Esthet-X composites were placed
to build her front teeth to a
size that eliminated the gaps (diasthema),
simulataneously creating a
certain cosmetic harmony. A
smile that aesthetically
compliments her face.
Our patient was quite pleased
with the cosmetic result. As she
gains a few more years in age,
the composite bonding will be
removed and replaced with
Empress porcelain crowns..
thereby establishing her adult,
permanent smile. |
