A chipped or cracked tooth can create real oral health issues, and act as a cosmetic nuisance. The significance of the problem will depend on the severity of the damage. If you suffer a more significant physical injury, restorative dental care will be needed to support your tooth. These injuries can make it easier for bacteria to infiltrate your enamel and cause real issues for your oral health. A minor problem may not pose a significant oral health risk, but it can negatively affect how you look. For these slighter damages, cosmetic dental care can help you feel better about your smile.
Using Cosmetic Dental Work To Hide Teeth That Look Worn, Or Slightly Damaged
If you have minor chipping, a slight crack, or a buildup of wear and tear, you can make positive cosmetic changes with the placement of porcelain veneers. Porcelain veneers are custom-made shells that your dentist will bond to the front of teeth. Once placed, they offer a natural-looking esthetic restoration that can cover up a range of flaws, to improve the overall quality of your smile.
Using A Dental Crown To Restore A Tooth With Serious Damage
If your physical damage has an effect on your oral health, restorative work will be the appropriate response for your affected tooth. Your dentist can supply you with a dental crown to protect the tooth, keeping it safe against infections while also taking on biting and chewing tasks. Your dentist can carefully modify the tooth to make space for your restoration, and can design it using advanced digital imaging technology.
