Restoring Your Smile After a Chipped Tooth at Dental Cure
It often starts unexpectedly. You’re enjoying a piece of hard candy, and suddenly, you notice a small, hard fragment in your mouth that won’t dissolve. Upon closer inspection, you realize it’s a tiny chipped piece of your tooth.
Even though tooth enamel is one of the strongest substances in the body, it does have its limits. Chewing on ice or grinding your teeth at night can sometimes lead to a chipped tooth. If this happens to you, there’s no need to panic. At Dental Cure, we offer several effective treatments to restore your smile.
Here’s how Dr. Aditya Singh Obi can help:
Tooth Bonding
Tooth bonding is a practical and straightforward solution for repairing chipped teeth. This procedure involves applying a tooth-colored resin to the chipped area. The material is shaped to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, and no numbing is required. After the bonding process, your tooth will look as good as new, making the chip nearly invisible.
Dental Crown
A dental crown, also known as a cap, is designed to cover and protect a damaged tooth. Dr. Aditya Singh Obi will likely use a tooth-colored crown made of porcelain or zirconia, which will blend with the rest of your teeth. Crowns not only enhance the appearance of your tooth but also provide the strength needed to withstand daily functions. If the chip is minor, a partial crown might be sufficient.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are an excellent option for repairing chipped teeth. These thin layers of ceramic are bonded to the front of your teeth using a special adhesive. Veneers can effectively restore the appearance of a chipped tooth, making it look whole and healthy again.
