Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Currently, patients desire a harmonious and natural smile, for which minimally invasive procedures must be prioritized. Teeth bleaching and direct resin composite restorations are indicated treatments for changing tooth color and shape, restoring aesthetics and function. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to present a clinical case showing that a smile can be reestablished through teeth bleaching and direct resin composite restorations. CASE REPORT: A 33-year-old female patient presented at a clinical consultation to discuss the aesthetics of her smile after finishing orthodontic treatment. Her teeth showed altered color and shape, so dental bleaching and direct restorations were planned. Dental bleaching was performed using the combined technique, and 14 days later, composite resin restorations were completed in the maxillary incisors, canines, and premolars. CONCLUSION: Tooth bleaching and resin composite restorations are conservative approaches that allowed the aesthetic reestablishment of one’s smile.
