Abstract
This case report demonstrates how a patient whose initial complaint involving "chipped and broken front teeth" was provided improved function, esthetics, and prognosis through a multidisciplinary treatment approach. In this example of timely, conservative, and judicious use of several disciplines of dentistry, orthodontic treatment was employed to increase the amount of restorative space available for restoring the patient's maxillary anterior teeth, periodontal therapy was utilized to address gingival inflammation, and conservative restorative dentistry featuring enamel-bonded porcelain veneers was used to restore tooth length and improve the patient's smile.
