Front Tooth Cavity Repair: see it on your own smile first
Visible decay restored with tooth-coloured filling material.
A visible cavity on a front tooth — a brown or dark spot near the gumline, between teeth, or on a biting edge — is one of the most common reasons people hide their smile. The good news: front-tooth decay is routinely restored with composite filling matched so closely to your enamel that the repair disappears.
The important part, said plainly: decay is an active, progressing condition, not a cosmetic state. The smaller it is when treated, the simpler and cheaper the fix. If you can see it, it's time to book — this preview is a reason to go, never a reason to wait.
What your Smyly™ preview shows
Smyly™ shows your smile with the visible decay restored to smooth, healthy-looking enamel — one result, because a repair has one right answer. What it cannot show is what's happening under the surface; only an exam and an X-ray can.

The honest limits of this preview
Cosmetic illustration only. Decay progresses and a preview cannot assess its depth — it needs a prompt exam. A preview can't see bone, bite, gum health or anything beneath the surface — only a clinical exam can. Treat it as a conversation starter for your dentist, never as a promised result.
Worth asking your dentist
- How deep is the decay, and is a filling still enough, or does it need more?
- Can you match the composite closely enough that the repair is invisible?
- What's driving decay in this spot, and how do I keep it from coming back?
