It often begins innocently. You’re enjoying your favorite hard candy when you 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 does have its limits. From chewing ice to nighttime grinding, our teeth are constantly at risk. If you’ve chipped a tooth, there’s no need to worry. Here are some effective solutions we offer at West Willow Family Dental to restore your smile:
Tooth Bonding
Tooth bonding is a versatile and effective method for repairing chipped teeth. This simple procedure doesn’t require numbing. The bonding materials and porcelain used are natural in color and can be tailored to match your teeth 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 West Willow Family Dental, 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 offer 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.
