Chipped/ fractured teeth
Causes: Dental injury, habits such as nail/pen biting, tooth grinding
Treatments: Composite Bonding/ Veneers, Porcelain Veneers and tooth contouring
While small chips are mostly cosmetic, severely fractured teeth can cause problems such as tooth sensitivity and even dental nerve damage. Restoring these chipped or fractured teeth can help restore symmetry and harmony to your smile and your face.
Choosing the right treatment depends largely on how extensive the fracture is and the overall health of the tooth. For smaller fractures, tooth contouring or composite bonding is the best, most minimally invasive way of treatment.
For larger fractures, porcelain or composite veneers work best. Porcelain veneers are the gold standard in terms of their cosmetic result and longevity but in certain cases may require slightly more shaping to your tooth before placement.
