Esthetic dentistry focuses on harmonizing the face, smile, teeth, and gums to create a natural, pleasing result that balances function and beauty. Composites play a vital role in this by offering excellent esthetic potential and versatility in direct restorations. Their use has expanded with advancements in materials and techniques, allowing for natural-looking, minimally invasive treatments. However, composites are technique-sensitive and require proper case selection, isolation, bonding, and curing for success. Despite their complexity, modern composites meet nearly all ideal restorative needs, enabling longer tooth retention and greater patient confidence.
