Treating Hidden Decay and Aesthetic Defects in One Visit
Problem
The patient felt that the front teeth looked unattractive and were occasionally sensitive to cold. Clinical examination and 3D imaging revealed hidden decay between the front teeth — barely visible to the naked eye. Dark spots on the visible surfaces turned out to be enamel hypoplasia, a developmental defect. While not painful, it affected the appearance of the smile.
Treatment
Treatment was performed under local anesthesia using a rubber dam to isolate the teeth and create a clean, dry working field. This is essential for long-lasting, high-quality restorations.
In just one visit — about 90 minutes — we removed the hidden decay and restored the enamel defects with modern composite materials, carefully matching color and recreating natural tooth shape.
Result
Cold sensitivity completely resolved. The teeth look natural and harmonious, free from dark spots and defects. The result is both aesthetic and durable, designed to last for years.
