On the other hand is the best known and highest patient satisfaction is individualized by using ceramic or composite resins high performance solution which each tooth needs and build a smile set to finally resolve defects or problems the patient has. This is undoubtedly the most satisfactory alternative and is the most demanded today. Made of ceramics, as I said, or if not high-performance composite resins.
