Smile Design & Aesthetic Restoration in Solapur

Over time, our teeth age just like we do. They get worn down, edges chip, and they lose their youthful shape. Aesthetic Restoration (Smile Design) is the art of turning back the clock.

At Deshpande Dental Care & Implant Centre, we don't just "fill cavities." We use advanced aesthetic materials to sculpt and rebuild your teeth, restoring their original anatomy, proportion, and beauty. Whether you have a single broken tooth or a worn-down smile, we can restore its natural harmony.

What is Aesthetic Restoration?

Aesthetic Restoration is a broad term for treatments that focus on mimicking nature. It is not just about making teeth "white"; it is about recreating the translucency, texture, and shape of a healthy natural tooth.

This treatment is ideal for:

  • Worn Down Teeth: Restoring the length of teeth shortened by grinding.
  • Chipped Edges: Fixing jagged edges to make them smooth and symmetrical.
  • Black Triangles: Closing the dark spaces that appear between teeth near the gum line.
  • Old Fillings: Replacing ugly silver (amalgam) fillings with invisible tooth-colored restorations.

Meet Your Specialist: Dr. Varun Deshpande

Aesthetic dentistry requires the hand of an artist and the mind of an engineer. Dr. Varun Deshpande (MDS Prosthodontist) is a specialist in this exact field.

While a general dentist might fill a hole, a Prosthodontist understands "The Golden Proportion"—the mathematical ratio that makes a smile look pleasing to the human eye. Dr. Varun manually sculpts the restoration to match your lip line and face shape, ensuring the result looks like it grew there naturally.

Our Restoration Solutions

We use different materials depending on your needs and budget:

1. Direct Composite Bonding (The Artistic Build-up)

This is a single-visit procedure. Dr. Varun applies a high-strength, tooth-colored putty (composite resin) directly to your tooth. He sculpts it by hand to fix chips, close gaps, or lengthen teeth, then hardens it with a special light.

  • Pros: Affordable, minimal drilling, done in 1 hour.
  • Best for: Minor chips, gaps, and younger patients.

2. Indirect Ceramic Restorations (Inlay/Onlay)

For teeth that are too damaged for a filling but don't need a full crown, we use "Inlays" or "Onlays." These are custom-made porcelain puzzle pieces that fit into your tooth.

  • Pros: Extremely strong, strengthens the tooth, lasts longer than fillings.
  • Best for: Back teeth with large cavities or heavy wear.

The Aesthetic Process

  1. Analysis: We examine your bite and the wear patterns on your teeth.
  2. Shade Selection: We don't just pick one color. We blend multiple shades to mimic the gradient of a natural tooth (darker at the top, transparent at the tip).
  3. Sculpting: Dr. Varun carefully builds up the tooth layer by layer.
  4. Polishing: The restoration is polished to a high gloss so it feels smooth to your tongue and reflects light like real enamel.

Frequently Asked Questions


A regular filling simply plugs a hole caused by a cavity. An Aesthetic Restoration is designed to rebuild the tooth's anatomy (cusps and ridges) and match its optical properties perfectly, making it invisible.

Direct composite restorations typically last 5-7 years with good care. Indirect ceramic restorations (Inlays/Onlays) are much stronger and can last 12-15 years or more.

No. Dr. Varun uses a 'layering technique' with different shades of opacity and translucency. This blends the restoration seamlessly with your natural tooth structure so you cannot tell where the tooth ends and the filling begins.

Most aesthetic restorations, especially composite bonding for chipped edges, require little to no drilling and often don't even need anesthesia. It is a very comfortable procedure.

Yes. This is a very common treatment. We can rebuild the lost height of the teeth using composite or ceramic. However, we will also prescribe a Night Guard to prevent you from grinding the new restorations off.

Composite resin can pick up surface stains from coffee or smoking over time, but they can be polished clean during your regular check-up. Ceramic restorations do not stain.

It is generally more affordable than veneers or crowns. The cost depends on the size of the restoration and the material used (Composite vs. Ceramic). We will give you a clear estimate after seeing your teeth.

Yes. Since we use a light-curing technology, the material is fully hardened before you leave the chair. You can eat immediately, though we recommend being gentle with very hard foods.
