Treatment completed at Lush Dental Studio, Sacramento. Individual results vary.
Decay and white spots on a young patient's front teeth
Decay, white spots, and uneven stain on the upper front teeth can be hard to bleach away. The before smile shows decay and patchy white and yellow-brown staining across the upper front teeth, so those teeth do not share one shade.
The decay was removed and treated first. Dr. Khan then placed six composite veneers on the upper canines and the four incisors to restore those teeth and even the shade and shape. Composite was not placed over untreated decay.
Why composite for this patient
For this young patient, composite let us restore the six teeth from canine to canine and keep the option of chairside repair if a veneer later chips or picks up stain. The back teeth in this photo were not veneered. Composite typically lasts about 2 years before it needs polishing or repair.
