The patient presented with broken teeth and an esthetic concern. A digital x-ray revealed a deep depth of decay in the patient's last three lower left teeth. Intraoral photos were taken and reviewed with the patient in order for him to visually see the need for treatment. Dr. Patel recommended composite tooth colored fillings. The teeth were excavated with laser assistance to access decay below the gum line. Composite tooth-colored fillings were placed, his occlusion was checked and bite adjusted. The patient will return for his routine hygiene appointments.
