Even if a tooth injury is not serious enough to threaten your tooth’s health, it can still be an unsightly problem for your smile. A visible chipped or cracked tooth can be embarrassing, and certainly something you might like to address as soon as possible. Your Rochester, MN dentist is able to restore the shape and appearance of a tooth so that it no longer appears damaged or seems out of place in your smile. In some cases, we can recommend dental bonding treatment, which can lead to cosmetic improvement without the need for a permanent restoration. It should be noted that if your injury is serious enough to affect the health of a tooth, we do have technology to produce same-day dental crowns.
It Is Important To Have An Injured Tooth Examined By Your Dentist
Even if you think the damage to a tooth is only superficial, you should have it examined by your dentist. Physical injuries that affect your tooth can lead to internal damage, make the tooth less supportive when you bite and chew, and may leave you vulnerable to further breaking. With an examination arranged, your dentist can talk to you about the problem, and recommend the appropriate solution.
Arranging Treatment With A Dental Crown
If the health of a tooth is in question, we can recommend the placement of a dental crown. Because we have CEREC technology at our practice, we can design and place a dental crown for you in the course of just one appointment. The restoration’s shape, size, and color will be carefully planned so that your crown is a good fit for your smile, and preserves your appearance. In addition to providing cosmetic benefits, the crown can make it easier for you to bite and chew without problems.
Restoring A Tooth Through Cosmetic Dental Work
Through cosmetic dental work, we can restore the appearance of teeth that have experienced chips, cracks, and other types of damage. Through dental bonding, we can restore a tooth with composite resin material. Because this approach does not require the placement of a restoration, it can limit changes to the tooth’s structure, and also provide results in as little as one appointment. Porcelain veneers can also help you restore your smile after an injury. Veneers are a permanent restoration, but unlike crowns they only cover the front surface of a tooth. As a result, it is possible for your dentist to preserve more of your tooth structure during this procedure.
