Journey for a pleasant smile

Here we are going to see two problems and how it is resolved.
Unpleasant smile
If you notice the above picture, you can see those two problems. The first problem is decayed front teeth and discolored filling, and the second problem is space between the upper front teeth.
A Tooth filling gets dark when it ages, and we call it as discolored fillings. Discolored fillings usually occur when there is an exposure to high staining drinks or foods.
Isolation
To restore the teeth colored filling in a proper way, isolating it from saliva and other body fluid is important. It helps in lasting bonds between the teeth and the filling material, so that the filling becomes part of the teeth. To achieve this, a blue-colored sheet of a rubber dam is used to isolate the teeth perfectly.
Nanohybrid Composites
A filling material which has excellent strength is used in this process. Nanohybrid composites are the latest ideal solution for this, and they are available with wide variations of color.Using this material restoration is created that matches in size, shape, color, and strength as original teeth.
Artistry
It takes a lot of training and skill to create the contours of the teeth by the Dentist. The lost contours of the teeth are recreated with Nanohybrid composites blending with the existing teeth.
Result
Look at the picture below, here what it looks after removing those rubber dam.
The magical smile is back now.
