It often starts innocently enough. You’re enjoying your favorite hard candy when you suddenly notice an unexpected hard piece in your mouth that won’t dissolve. A wave of panic hits as you realize it’s a small fragment of your tooth.
Although enamel is one of the hardest substances in the body, it has its limits. Whether you are chewing on ice or grinding your teeth at night, there’s always a chance of putting your teeth at risk. If you’ve chipped a tooth, there’s no need to panic. At Smileform Dentistry, we offer several solutions to restore your beautiful smile:
Tooth Bonding
Tooth bonding is a versatile solution for repairing chipped teeth. This simple procedure doesn’t require numbing and uses bonding materials and porcelain that match your natural tooth color perfectly. After the procedure, your smile will look as good as new, making it hard for anyone to notice the chip.
Dental Crown
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that both protects and enhances the appearance of your tooth. At Smileform Dentistry, our AACD (American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry) dentists typically use tooth-colored crowns made of porcelain or zirconia to ensure they blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Crowns provide the strength and durability needed for daily use. Depending on the severity of the chip, a partial crown may be sufficient.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain laminate veneers consist of several thin layers of ceramic designed to repair chipped teeth. These veneers are bonded to the teeth with a special adhesive, replacing the original enamel and restoring your tooth’s appearance and function. Veneers are an excellent option for achieving a whole and healthy look.
