Brushing and flossing regularly can benefit your oral health in important ways, but these habits can have little effect on your luck. Fortunately, Sunny Smiles is prepared to help if you experience oral health problems because of an unfortunate physical injury! A sudden problem with your smile caused by physical trauma should not be taken lightly. While smaller chips and cracks can be addressed through cosmetic dental work, it may be necessary to treat your injured tooth by providing a more involved restorative dental procedure. The good news is that we can make sure a tooth’s needs are completely addressed after damage. We can even help you deal with the problem promptly by offering emergency services!
Will Your Chipped Or Cracked Tooth Require Restorative Treatment?
We will assess your injured tooth in order to find the right solution, one that can provide lasting protection while still preserving your smile. Part of finding the right service means finding the most conservative approach that we can rely on to provide long-term value. This means preserving as much of the healthy tooth as possible. A conservative cosmetic solution may be effective at hiding an injury and putting concerns about your tooth to rest. However, when the harm is too serious to make this approach possible, the use of a dental crown can help by restoring your oral health, addressing potential bite problems, and preserving your smile.
Using A Crown To Protect A Vulnerable Tooth
A dental crown is a carefully-made appliance that covers a tooth. The coverage provided by this restoration keeps a tooth safe from further harm, and it ensures you can rely on your natural and comfortable bite movements. Preparatory work before treatment can ensure that your crown fits properly and does not interfere with neighboring teeth. For front teeth that need to be restored, we can provide crowns that imitate healthy enamel in order to prevent undesired changes to your smile.
Providing Cosmetic Improvements With A Conservative Procedure
For less severe injuries, we may be able to proceed with cosmetic dental work. These services are less involved and preserve more of your healthy tooth structure. We can provide a porcelain veneer, a slim restoration that only has to cover the front surface of a tooth, or we can discuss tooth bonding and contouring work, which can make changes without the need for a permanent restoration.
