Patients come into our office with misaligned, chipped or discolored bonded restorations. However, due to social media, patients are more fearful of "drilling" on their teeth. Therefore, they become very apprehensive about treatment. It is crucial to educate and communicate to our patients and use a more conservative approach to enhancing their smile. Step one for success is to correctly align the teeth in order to have long term results with composite bonding. Step two is assessing where and how much is needed to enhance the newly positioned teeth to create a more esthetic result. Composite bonding can yield immediate results and gratifications.

What is the occlusion on the right? How about the left? What does this mean for your patient’s oral health? Malocclusion or misalignment can lead to oral maladies that increase the risk of tooth loss and periodontal disease. Malocclusion may also be a marker for airway issues, TMJ disorders, and migraines, significantly impacting the patient's overall health. Receding gums and tooth wear isn't something we should dismiss as "normal". Taking the time to research these conditions can help us identify factors leading to long-term damage, so our patients enjoy a lifetime of healthy smiles - saving them from painful procedures or high costs down the line.
