Bonded composite fillings (No-drill technique) are a reliable, aesthetic, and economical way of managing gaps and open spaces in the mouth.
The above patient wanted a more even smile, we added a small amount of composite resin material to the canines to harmonize the aesthetics of the smile as well as some conservative tooth whitening.
Modern composites are strong, durable, and hard wearing. They allow the patient to get a great looking smile without touching tooth structure unlike other options like porcelain veneers and crowns.
