Periodontitis or gum disease can cause black spaces or pockets between teeth. A simple way to rejuvenate the smile is to perform aesthetic reconstructions with composites, always adapted to the case of each patient.
When a caries or fracture is present in an anterior tooth we have to look for maximum aesthetics when restoring it. We cannot use the same composites as to restore a caries in a posterior tooth, since in molars the most important thing is resistance.
However, in incisors and canines, the most important thing is that the composite must have special fluorescence and polishing characteristics. We will have to resort to the use of stains to give texture to the tooth and polishing systems to achieve high brightness and avoid subsequent staining of these fillings due to tobacco, coffee, red wine, tea, etc.
With esthetic composites we can also restore the esthetics of the anterior sector by making veneers. This treatment is faster than porcelain veneers and requires less grinding, but it stains more with food and has some limitations in extensive restorations. We also work with preformed composite veneers that adapt to the tooth surface and modify the color or shape of the tooth. It is a cheaper alternative to porcelain veneers.
