Happy Kid, Happy Mom -- Conservative Correction of Congenital Peg Laterals

Elementary and Middle School age is such an important time to develop confidence and feel empowered by their smile and how it reflects their kindness, enthusiasm, and character. Dr. Claustro understood that this patient felt self-conscious about her smile -- even at an early age -- and wanted to deliver a natural-looking option without cutting tooth structure or requiring a big financial investment (because when she's older and has fully grown into her smile, additional gum recontouring may be desired). Dr. Claustro expertly hand-shaped composite resin to mimic natural anatomy. The procedure required zero shots and minimal time in the chair. Patient was thrilled to show off her smile!
