Did you know the smile is the most memorable feature after first meeting someone new? So, what happens when you have a chipped or broken tooth? Has the new person's view of you changed?
Well, don't let it affect you! There are many ways your dentist can fix a chipped or broken tooth!
- Filling or Bonding: The dentist will apply a filling to repair a small chipped part of the tooth's enamel. However, if you have a chipped tooth upfront, they will apply a tooth-colored composite resin called bonding.
- Dental Veneers: This is a tooth-colored composite resin or porcelain that will be applied over the surface or the chipped or broken tooth by using a special kind of cement.
- Dental Cap or Crown: If you have lost a large portion of the tooth, you may need to have a dental cap or crown. This will be placed over the tooth to protect it, preserve function of the tooth, and enhance aesthetic appeal.
If you break a tooth or notice a chip, call your dental office immediately to get professional advice!
