Zirconia Tooth Restoration for a Palatally Positioned Tooth

This case shows a zirconia tooth restoration for a young female patient. Tooth 14 was positioned toward the palate, which affected the visual harmony of the smile.

The goal was to improve the appearance of this area and bring the tooth shape closer to the symmetry of the surrounding teeth. The restoration was planned carefully so the final result would look balanced with the patient’s natural dental line.

Zirconia was selected because it allows a strong and clean aesthetic result. During the laboratory stage, attention was given to tooth contour, position, shade and the relationship with the neighboring teeth.

The final result shows a more symmetrical appearance and a cleaner tooth shape. This case is presented as a dental laboratory portfolio example and not as personal medical advice.
