Remember that whitening case a few weeks back? Well, my patient actually came to us because of a post I put up here on butterfly incisors, and how I corrected them using composite veneers. Here’s the link : https://story.drfauziah.com/story/2019/10/07/old-fillings-to-new-dr-shanaz/ This patient actually had a similar…
Wedding! It is one of the major event in our life. The day that we want everything to be perfect. From head to toe. Most importantly, our best asset ; that is our SMILE. Having a perfect smile, is a must for every bride and…
Bob came to me initially for the pain he’s been having on his front tooth. Knowing that he needed a root canal treatment, he took the opportunity to get his smile fixed at the same time!
As you can tell, he had many previous fillings done on his 4 front teeth with an obvious broken filling. What can’t be seen though, are that the fillings were quite compromised on the back. So I proposed to fix and redo the previous fillings as well. Due to budget constraints though, we’ll be concentrating on only 3 teeth.
Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture after clearing all the carious parts of the teeth (diseased and infected part of the tooth). I promise to take plenty more the next time!
Can you tell from the picture above how the greyish discolourations of some of the front teeth have now disappeared? Not only because I’ve redone the fillings, but also after removing all the underlying carious structures underneath the old fillings.
And after an hour, we’re done! Bob was so happy with the change of his smile, he forgot that initially came in for the root canal!
If I had more time, I would like to see Bob again to recontour some of the angles of the teeth so that his smile would be a bit more even. But for now, we’ll let him enjoy this new smile he has 😀

Have you ever got a filling done before and for some reason, it discoloured after a while? Or that the filling chipped off a bit after biting on that favourite snack of yours? It’s more common than you think! Miss K had fillings done a…
