Single tooth cosmetic bonding. One of the most challenging things in dentistry is restoring a single front tooth. Making the work invisible on the tooth itself and having it match the neighboring teeth requires an understanding of light, color, dental anatomy, techniques, and dental materials. In essence, it takes much skill and practice to fool the eye into not noticing that something is different in one of the teeth that makes up a pleasing smile. Sometimes, a dentist may prefer to fix two or more teeth to help make everything look more uniform. This option is always more costly and can compromise the health of otherwise virgin and healthy adjacent teeth. Understanding the the limitations of our materials, methods, and severity of the problem tooth is critical to making the right treatment choices. Here is a case where we were able to restore a single front tooth fairly successfully with the most conservative approach, direct composite cosmetic bonding.
