14. Composite build ups

Pre Treatment

This 39 year old male had fractured his upper front teeth and then wore down other teeth from a grinding habit in his early adult years. He wanted an improvement to the appearance of these teeth especially and colour and shape.

He initially did at home tooth whitening using a product supplied by his dentist so that he could get his teeth to the appropriate shade for him. Then he had his teeth built up in a tooth coloured filling material (composite resin).

Final

The composite resin was added to the 6 upper anterior teeth to improve their shape and appearance.
In one image you will notice that the upper right canine tooth has a chip out of the resin. This is easily fixed by addition of further resin.
