Abstract

An increasing number of patients seek dental treatment with the primary motivation of achieving an aesthetic smile. This case demonstrates a patient presenting with an unaesthetic smile associated with multiple carious teeth, gingival recession, and discoloration. We describe how a multidisciplinary approach involving prosthetic, restorative, and surgical disciplines enabled us to achieve an aesthetic smile for the patient. We also highlight the importance of minimally invasive dentistry. Conservative options were preferred to avoid the consequences of the restorative cycles.
