How chips and cracks impact your smile
In addition to causing an unsightly imperfection on the tooth near the front of the smile, chips and cracks can also impact one’s dental health. Chips and cracks on the teeth can contribute to serious problems with one’s dental health and wellness. These cracks may be caused by weakening of the tooth enamel, and can cause serious discomfort and pain for many of our patients. Additionally, chipped teeth can allow for bacteria to enter inside of the tooth and result in an infection that may require further treatments such as root canal therapy.
Using porcelain veneers to fix chipped teeth
One way in which our team of professionals may recommend treating teeth that are chipped and cracked is to cover the tooth with a restoration called a porcelain veneer. Porcelain veneers are incredibly popular cosmetic restorations that can disguise problems such as breakage, permanent staining, and even unusually shaped teeth. These restorations are thin facings that are bonded onto the front of a tooth to cover imperfections. These facings are created to match the patient’s existing smile to ensure they look as natural as possible. Porcelain veneers are quickly fabricated and bonded onto the natural tooth—and can provide over a decade of beauty and restoration when well cared for.
