Written by Ivoclar Vivadent Blog Team | 19 February 2026

Diastema closure with direct veneers

Tetric plus is a simplified universal composite designed to streamline restorative procedures without compromising esthetics. Its advanced filler technology and pronounced chameleon effect enable highly esthetic outcomes, even with a reduced shade concept.

In this video tutorial, Dr von Sontagh demonstrates the clinical application of Tetric plus in the anterior region and shares practical insights into efficient treatment workflows.

You will learn more about the following topics:

  • Direct composite veneering on teeth 22 and 23
  • A straightforward modelling technique for diastema closure
  • Reshaping tooth 24 to mimic a canine (as the patient is missing the permanent canine in the second quadrant)
  • Performing these procedures using a single shade: Tetric plus in shade A2 plus

Photographs from the patient’s follow-up visits illustrate how the composite restorations integrate seamlessly into the natural smile.
