Using 3M™ Filtek™ Supreme Ultra Universal Restorative.
Patient presented concern of an old diastema closure, desiring to have them replaced for a “better smile”. Patient wanted a conservative option. Advantages and disadvantages of whitening their teeth, crowns, porcelain veneers and conservative build-ups with direct resin composite were discussed. The patient opted for direct resin bonded restorations.
Modern composite resins offer a range of opacities that bring natural looking results for patients who want less invasive dentistry. Results are rewarding for both the patient and the dentist.
Dr. Vargas shares his approach to accessible conservative options for a busy dental practice.
