Doug
About Doug's Case
Doug had fractured a portion of his front tooth, also one them was shorter than the other, while another was twisted, and another tooth was too short. Doug also wanted to brighten the color of his smile.
First Doug's teeth were whitened and then the front teeth were bonded to repair the fracture and restore the irregular smile. A gum sculpting procedure was also used to lengthen and reshape the tissue to create a smoother alignment. All of the bonding was performed in one visit.

Dr. Andreaus began by whitening Doug's entire smile. Then composite bonding was done to restore the fractured tooth and to even the length and twist of the other front teeth. The result is an attractive, natural looking smile that enhances Doug's overall appearance, and the bonding was done in just one visit!Doctor's Notes
