Have you ever felt that your smile wasn't quite the same after an accident? That's exactly how our 23-year-old patient felt when she first walked into Taras Dental. After a sudden accident left her with damaged front teeth, she found herself hiding her smile in photos and social situations.
The Challenge
What made this case special wasn't just the broken teeth - it was our patient's unique request. She had always loved how one of her front side teeth (lateral incisor) sat slightly forward and higher than the others. This distinctive feature was part of her natural smile, and she didn't want to lose it even during the repair process.
Our Approach
Thanks to some old photos the patient shared, we could see exactly how her smile looked before the accident. The damage was thankfully not too deep - it affected mainly the outer layers of the teeth. This meant we could fix it without any major procedures.
The Solution
We chose to use tooth-colored filling material (composite) to rebuild her damaged teeth. Think of it like reconstructive art, but for teeth! We carefully:
- Matched the color perfectly to her natural teeth
- Rebuilt the broken parts layer by layer
- Kept her favorite tooth in its original position
- Made sure everything looked natural and felt comfortable
The Happy Ending
The results? A beautifully restored smile that looked just like her original one - including that slightly forward front side tooth she loved so much! Our patient left with renewed confidence, ready to show off her smile again.

At Taras Dental, we believe in listening to what matters to you and preserving the natural character of your smile while fixing what needs to be fixed.
