Conclusion

Today, our patients desire highly esthetic results using minimally invasive procedures. With the advent of dental technology, minimally invasive dentistry can be achieved with beautiful and strong results. Newly developed dental materials and clinical techniques allow the clinician to perform state-of-the-art cosmetic dental procedures for our patients. Using the latest innovations in composite resins and dental adhesives, we will meet our patients’ expectations and goals by attaining excellent long-term results and predictable success in a reasonable amount of time.
