A case of extensive caries

In this case, we treated a young patient with extensive carious lesions—a characteristic example of hyperdontia. The causes were multifactorial: inadequate oral hygiene, frequent consumption of sugary drinks, and periods of reduced saliva flow.

The treatment plan was based on a holistic approach, aiming not only to restore functionality but also to improve aesthetics. It included:

– Endodontic therapy (root canal treatment)
– Tooth reconstruction with post reinforcement and full crown
– Multiple fillings on affected teeth
– Resin veneers on anterior teeth to enhance shape, color, and symmetry

The patient’s cooperation was excellent, and the final result showcases a healthy, natural smile—with increased confidence and improved daily oral hygiene habits. Another example of how modern dentistry can change a person’s life.

Below are before and after photos.

Composite Veneers – Bonding Technique

Dental Bonding

A safe and painless technique for dramatic results in your smile.

What is dental bonding (also called tooth lifting)?

Dental bonding is a procedure in which the dentist applies a special resin to the outer surface of the teeth to:

Change their shape
Correct their color
Repair minor chips or fractures
Adjust the alignment of slightly crooked teeth

It is a highly versatile procedure for patients seeking specialized aesthetic dental treatments.

What is the resin used, and is it safe?

The resin is the same material used for dental fillings. It is completely safe, adheres strongly to the tooth surface, and integrates seamlessly with your natural teeth.

We use high-quality resins available in a wide range of shades, allowing the final result to be bright, shiny, and perfectly natural-looking.

Does it hurt, and is it time-consuming?

In most cases, no local anesthesia is required, making bonding a comfortable and pleasant procedure for the patient.
It typically requires just one session lasting 2–3 hours, after which the patient leaves the clinic with a completely renewed and aesthetically enhanced smile.

Cost, advantages, and disadvantages

Bonding is more affordable and convenient compared to ceramic veneers. The main drawback is that the results require periodic maintenance: small chips or wear on the resin surface may occur over time and can be easily repaired or polished during routine dental visits.

With proper care, professional polishing, and good oral hygiene, the results of dental bonding can last many years, maintaining a beautiful and natural-looking smile over time.
