A few procedural pictures from this recent case. All starts with the palatal shell being in the right position allowing correct palato-labial spatial arrangement of the layers. Having a good grasp of anterior tooth anatomy and you’re half way there. There’s a couple of places left on my Composite Programme this month if you want to learn and practice these techniques along with a day of injection moulding as well! Last chance for 2026.

Class IV composite. Shape, primary anatomy, secondary anatomy and tertiary anatomy. All these must be accurate and appropriate before we even get to ‘the shade’…and then it’s not just the colour, it’s the opacity and relative translucency and spatial arrangements of layers. Not needed for every case but if you understand them, then you have a fighting chance of nailing every case. A few places left on my composite courses in June - 3 courses over 2 days - book on both or just one. Details in bio.

Direct composite restoration case from last week ✨

Cases like this are always a reminder that even when we’re happy with the outcome, there’s always another level of refinement we can aim for. In this case, the goal was to recreate the natural character of the tooth as closely as possible — particularly the intense translucency, which needed careful layering and management to achieve a lifelike result.

This was such a rewarding case to work on, and it highlights just how artistic and technique-sensitive direct composite dentistry can be.

If you’d like to learn how I approach cases like this — from straightforward anterior composites to more advanced aesthetic restorations — I’ll be teaching my Direct Anterior Aesthetics courses in London this June.

📍 3 days
📍 2 hands-on courses
📍 Book individually or together with a bundle discount

Designed to help you improve your confidence, predictability, and aesthetic outcomes with direct composite restorations.

POV: You’ve avoided fixing your smile because you’re scared it will look “fake.”
This is one of the biggest concerns patients share with me when we discuss crowns. They imagine:
❌ Dark lines at the gums
❌ Bulky, unnatural teeth
❌ Crowns that are obvious the moment you smile
And honestly… many older crowns do look like that.
But modern dentistry should be invisible.
In this smile transformation, we replaced failing metal-ceramic crowns with ultra-natural all-ceramic restorations designed to blend seamlessly with the surrounding teeth.
The difference is in the details:
✨ Natural translucency
✨ Subtle colour variation
✨ Realistic surface texture
✨ Healthy gum support
When crowns are precisely fitted, the gums can heal beautifully — becoming healthy, pale pink, and inflammation-free again.
Most people won’t notice what changed…
They’ll just notice you look healthier, fresher, and more confident.
If you’ve been hiding your smile in photos, covering your mouth when you laugh, or delaying treatment because you fear an unnatural result — this post is for you.

✨ Smile Transformation ✨

This lovely patient came to me feeling unhappy with her smile after years of composite bonding. She was missing both upper lateral incisors, with her canines previously moved forward to close the gaps — a challenging but exciting case to reimagine.

Using beautifully crafted ceramic restorations, I refined the shape, proportions, and overall harmony of her smile — creating a result that’s brighter, fresher, and far more natural.

The best part? A truly happy, confident patient at the end of it.

Cases like this are why I love what I do.

Freehand composite to treat a dark front tooth and black triangle.

These cases are tough! A unilateral dark tooth paired with an open gingival embrasure. Not the easiest combo.

Success here isn’t just about placing composite… it’s about strategy:
• Controlling opacity to mask the dark substrate
• Managing limited space without overbulking
• Creating natural vitality so it doesn’t look flat or artificial

If you want to master these techniques and elevate your anterior composites, join me in London this June for my hands-on composite courses.

🚨 When crowns don’t fit properly, your gums will tell you.
This patient came to me with poorly fitting, unaesthetic crowns that were causing inflammation and bleeding. Not only did they look unnatural, they were also compromising the health of the surrounding gums.
So we went back to the fundamentals.
First, I adjusted the gum levels to create better shapes and created well-fitting temporary crowns to allow the tissues to heal properly.
Next, an implant was placed to replace the missing upper left lateral incisor.
Finally, we restored the teeth with custom zirconia crowns designed to mimic the look and behaviour of natural teeth.
The result 👇
✔ Healthier gums
✔ Natural tooth proportions
✔ Strong, functional restorations
✔ A smile that looks like… real teeth
My goal is always invisible dentistry — dentistry that blends so naturally that nobody knows it’s there.
If there’s something you don’t like about your smile, it may be simpler to fix than you think.

Injection moulded composite restorations to restore worn teeth in the maxilla. One of my main uses of IMT these days is probably this. It’s a fantastic tool to transfer a new occlusal scheme into the mouth using the copy and paste system. This patient underwent orthodontic alignment first using Invisalign before restoration of the teeth.
