We did something we almost never do in cosmetic dentistry: we made a tooth darker. 👇

But first, let’s unpack the most obvious aspect: Peg-shaped lateral incisors. No other case type shows the true power of composite quite like this one; a small, underdeveloped teeth completely reimagined into a full, harmonious smile.

After Invisalign created the perfect foundation, we placed 6 freehand layered composite veneers to rebuild proportions, shape and symmetry to these peg shaped laterals and other front teeth, this is a mix of full veneers and partial bonding on the canines.

Now the interesting part: This patient had an existing porcelain crown on his front tooth. Convention says crowns get replaced like for like, leading to more drilling, more cost, more risk to the tooth. 

Instead, we kept the crown and bonded composite directly over it. And because the crown was actually too white for his new smile, we did the rare thing: we toned it down to blend seamlessly with everything around it. Still - placing composite over a crown isn’t always possible or suitable, but in rare cases like these it can work wonders.

If you’re considering improving your smile but want it to look natural and undetectable get in touch to see how we can help.

Can you spot which tooth is the crown? Let me know below 👇

Teaching is a strange thing.

You give people everything you know, the little tricks, your own protocols and then just hope it lands.

There is often no instant feedback.

The first insight comes at the end of the day, looking at the typodonts and level of work, and most of all the consistency produced by the group. The real reward though is the testimonials at the end, or even days or weeks after when a message arrives: a case they’ve finished, a patient thrilled with the results.

It all reminds you why you do it. Thank you to our graduates for being part of it. 🤍

Aligned. Widened. Rebuilt — a story of a full mouth rehabilitation.

This patient came in wanting to turn back the clock without losing the character of his smile.

So we did exactly that, in two phases.

First, Invisalign to straighten the teeth and widen the smile from the inside out.

Then, 20 minimal-prep porcelain veneers to lift brightness, balance proportions and refine every edge.

⏩ Swipe to see the step-by-step:

✅ Invisalign to align & widen the smile
✅ 20 minimal prep porcelain veneers
✅ Smile design hand-crafted in temporaries first, to test-drive the new smile
✅ Final design copied into ceramic
✅ Natural enhancement

The key step? The temporaries. Before a single ceramic veneer was made, this gentleman lived with the design in his own mouth - speaking, smiling, eating, once the design is approved we copied the approved design into porcelain. No surprises or guesswork. Just a smile he’d already approved.

If you’re considering a full smile transformation but want it to look like you — only refined — this is how we approach it. ✨

Dentists 🚀
At our Simplifi Composite courses we cover all the smile design and anatomy principles that I use to design smiles and predictably plan, place and finish composites - material may be different but principles remain the same even in porcelain cases like these 😁

Save time AND improve your composite results? Yes — here’s how 👇

Three small protocol shifts that will tighten your workflow without compromising the finish.

1️⃣ Stop fiddling with the incisal edge — disk it instead �Trying to manoeuvre soft composite into the perfect incisal shape and height is slow and frustrating. Place the increment quickly, make sure it’s well adapted, then trim it down with disks to perfect shape. Apply bond or wetting resin, air dry, and continue layering. Disking is faster and more accurate than sculpting.

2️⃣ Match the instrument to the stage�For placement and cleaving off excess — a well-designed flat plastic gives you the control you need. As the adjustments get finer, switch to a flat artist/composite brush — far more gentle, ideal for micro-adjustments, and it helps smooth the composite as you work.

3️⃣ Repair voids the moment you see them �Don’t wait until polishing to fix that air bubble — it’s inefficient and forces you to re-roughen the surface. While the composite is still rough, drill out the defect, apply bond, air dry, fill with flowable. Done.

✅ Bonus tip: If your composite is perfectly shaped and ready to cure, but you spot a tiny imperfection — don’t take it off and start over. Cure it, then repair it the same way. Much quicker.

Small workflow shifts. Big time saved. Better finish.

✅ Share and save for your next bonding case

Finishing is where most composites go from good to ruined.

Not because the anatomy wasn’t there — but because of how the bur or disk was used to refine it.

Here are 5 tips that will immediately improve your finishing:

1️⃣ Low speed, no water.
This is the single most common mistake I see — dentists running burs and disks way too fast. Slow it down. No water. You’ll gain control, see exactly what you’re removing, and stop gouging your composite.

2️⃣ Light pressure.
Whether it’s a disk or a bur — be patient. A few gentle strokes will always beat one heavy sweep. More control, less chance of wiping out your anatomy.

3️⃣ Match grit to the stage.
Start coarse for gross adjustment. As you get closer to your desired shape, step down to medium, then fine. Don’t try to do everything with one abrasiveness.

4️⃣ Stroke direction matters.
When you first engage the bur, sweep from right to left — you’re reducing in the direction of spin. This prevents the bur from catching and gouging the surface.

5️⃣ Use a larger diameter bur.
A thicker bur like a chamfer crown prep bur rotates slower at the outer edge at the same RPM compared to a thinner bur. That means more control and significantly less gouging.

Small changes in how you handle the bur — massive difference in your final result.

💬 Which of these are you going to try on your next case? Save this for Monday morning.

Black triangles. Failing composites. Uneven shapes. Here’s how we approached it — and what to think about before you pick up the brush👇

This case came as a referral from a colleague — six upper anteriors, all presenting with embrasure black triangles, shape inconsistencies and old composite replacements that had started to break down. We restored the teeth with 6x freehand layered composites.

Here’s the clinical thinking behind the approach:

1️⃣ Replace failing composite before veneering. If the old restoration is sound, we can leave it in situ or cut back and re-layer (providing you know how to bond to existing composite). But if a composite is failing — aesthetically or functionally — it has to come out. As with the discoloured restoration on the UL1 here.

2️⃣ Freehand layering, not stencils. To achieve natural shape variation across 6 units, each tooth was built individually using our Simplifi Layering protocol. This protocol is designed to make layering more efficient and predictable.

3️⃣ Black triangles last — as per our Simplifi protocol we usually close these after the rest of the restoration has been built up which helps us save time and increase predictability when we are layering. Closing them requires precise ovate emergence profile development using flowable composite. The composite needs to emerge from the sub gingival to achieve an ideal and natural result.

✅ Save this for your next anterior composite case.
