Zoom 100% Visual Examination

Observed Findings

  • Small to moderate enamel chips on front teeth

  • Uneven incisal (biting) edges

  • Mild yellow discoloration

  • Slight spacing irregularity

  • No visible deep cavity

  • Gum tissue appears generally healthy

Diagnosis

Primary Diagnosis

  • Enamel fracture (chipped teeth)

Secondary Diagnosis

  • Mild alignment irregularity

  • Early cosmetic concern

  • Risk of progressive enamel wear


Treatment Objective

  • Restore tooth shape and symmetry

  • Prevent further enamel breakdown

  • Improve aesthetics and bite balance

  • Protect exposed enamel edges


Treatment Process to Execute

Step-by-Step Plan

  1. Clinical examination and bite analysis

  2. Evaluation of fracture depth

  3. Treatment options:

    • Composite bonding for minor chips

    • Dental veneers for aesthetic correction

    • Orthodontic alignment if needed

  4. Polishing and finishing

  5. Bite adjustment if required


Healing and Treatment Time Frame

First 14 Days

  • Mild sensitivity after bonding (if performed)

  • Bite adaptation period

  • Gum tissue remains stable

After 14 Days

  • Normal chewing comfort

  • Cosmetic improvement stabilized

  • Low complication risk if maintained


If Treatment Is Delayed

Issues That May Scale Up

  • Increased chipping

  • Tooth sensitivity

  • Uneven bite pressure

  • Progressive enamel wear

  • Aesthetic dissatisfaction


Professional Comments

  • Condition appears moderate and manageable

  • Early cosmetic restoration prevents structural damage

  • Minor chips are easier and less expensive to correct


Recommendation
