A girl came to our dental clinic seeking to restore her decayed upper front teeth. The unsightly decay of the upper left lateral incisor was deflecting from an otherwise bright smile. Our restorative dental specialist successfully removed the decay which was affecting the enamel and dentin only. Using LCR (light cure restoration) the tooth shape and form was restored with exact color match giving her an enhanced, natural looking smile. A young man came to our dental clinic with a complaint of severely mobile lower left back tooth. He found it difficult to eat because of the loose tooth and wanted an immediate fixed replacement. A digital radiograph revealed that the tooth was a resorbed, over-retained deciduous tooth. There was no permanent tooth beneath it. The mobile tooth was replaced with immediate loading implant with good stability and retention. Immediately a temporary crown of a closely matching color was fixed to the implant that will enhance his smile and help him to bite and chew well. After complete osseointegration of the implant with the surrounding bone, the temporary crown will be replaced with a permanent ceramic prosthesis. The man was very happy that he got a quick, effective solution.

Our cosmetic dentistry specialist successfully performed a labial frenectomy of the abnormally positioned tissue and the gap was closed with LCR (light cure restoration) with exact color match. The girl was very happy with the instant results and to have an attractive, beautiful smile.
