Our patient came to us, asking if we could whiten their teeth and rebuild some of the lost length.
After a consultation to ensure their teeth were healthy and that they were a good candidate for restorative treatment we decided on a two step procedure. First, a treatment of Zoom whitening with our hygienist Nic, to lighten the patients teeth, which gave us excellent results. Following this, Dr Maddi added some composite restoration material to build up length and restore the teeth to their original appearance. We provided the patient with a night splint to prevent wear of the teeth. Our patient was thrilled with the results, as were Dr Maddi and Nic.

It starts off as a small white lesion and over time continues to grow until it becomes a cavity/hole. Caught early enough you can manage or even reverse an early lesion to prevent needing a filling. Left too long, and eventually the decay will eat through the entire tooth. This process can happen very quickly. Simply put, the longer you leave decay, the bigger and more expensive the problem gets.
