Upper front teeth of mixed colours, with a greyish tooth and yellow necks, restored to one shade

The upper front teeth are several different colours: the central incisors are cream-yellow with fine surface lines, one lateral incisor is bluish-grey and more opaque than the rest, and both canines show a yellow-orange band near the gum. An orange-brown line follows the gum margin of the central incisors, and the biting edges are uneven, with one lateral incisor shorter than its partner.

The after photo shows the upper front teeth in one bright, even shade, with symmetrical edges and no discoloured band at the gum margins. The greyish tooth now matches its neighbours, and the new ceramic restorations follow a balanced outline from side to side.

In a case with several different problems, Dr. Marina’s approach is to assess each tooth first: why it is discoloured, whether it needs treatment inside, and how much natural structure can be kept. That diagnosis becomes one structured plan, so the patient can see which tooth needs what and in which order. The final shape and shade are agreed in a mock-up and checked against the bite.

The front teeth now read as one set: a single bright shade, matching translucency and symmetrical edges. The greyish tooth and the yellow-orange necks are no longer visible, and the gum margins look clean.
