Three broken front teeth → rebuilt with resin

SMILE STORY · BONDING

“Cavities made these three front teeth break. We rebuilt them with tooth-colored resin, one layer at a time.”
— Dr. Richard Miyata, DDS · General Dentistry

How it usually goes

  1. Get it ready — We clean and lightly roughen the tooth.

  2. Add resin — Tooth-colored resin goes on in layers.

  3. Harden and polish — A blue light hardens it. Then we polish.

Quick questions

Can cavities make teeth break?

Yes. Decay weakens a tooth until pieces can break off.

Will it match my teeth?

We pick a color that blends in.

Is it done in one visit?

Often, yes. An exam tells us what's right for you.

Every smile is different. An exam tells us what's right for you.
