Can dentist fix broken teeth

Dental techniques are evolving with each passing day. That’s probably a good news for patients with broken, crooked or missing teeth. Depending on the type of break your teeth has, our dentist can repair your tooth using the following methods:

Dental Crowns
Crowns are often confused with veneers. Crown is a restorative treatment that covers the injured tooth and offers strong protection. A crown prevents you from losing your tooth. Not having a crown could damage your tooth through chewing. Our dentists can create a customized crown by taking impressions of your tooth. Dental crowns act wonderfully by fixing your smile and straightening crooked teeth.

If you have chipped, damaged or cracked teeth, dental crowns could be of great help. Crowns not only protect your teeth but also offer an ideal aesthetic appearance to your teeth. The shape and position of your existing tooth can be modified using dental crowns.

Porcelain Crowns
Porcelain crown is yet another cosmetic procedure helpful for fixing broken teeth. Made from thin ceramic shells, porcelain crowns are used to bond to the teeth’s surface. They are the most preferred crowns as they easily match the adjacent teeth. Porcelain fused metal crowns are also in vogue since years because they are quite durable, stable and helps to mimic your natural teeth. The stability and strength they offer is unmatched to any other kind of restoration available.

Dental Implants
In this process, the broken teeth is removed and an implant is fixed in its place. Implants are one of the most technologically advanced dental treatments.

Dental Bonding
Dental bonding repairs chipped or cracked teeth. In this treatment method, our dentists first pick a shade guide to select a resin color that closely matches the color of the tooth. The process starts with roughening the surface of tooth. After this, a conditioning liquid is applied. The process further helps the bonding material stick to the tooth. The tooth-colored resin is then applied and smoothed to get the right shape. The process takes about 30-60 minutes to get completed.
