Space Closure with Tooth Colored Filling

Space Closure with Tooth Colored Fillings Patient Results

One of our teenage patients had a couple front teeth that grew in small and several of her top front teeth were discolored from when she had braces. She felt uncomfortable smiling and asked Dr. Joseph to fix her teeth. He covered the teeth with composite bonding and shaped them to have a seamless fit with her other ones. Look how beautiful her smile is now! She loves being able to laugh without feeling self conscious!
