If a chip in your tooth is visible enough to draw any attention, it can be a big problem for your smile. Even slight damage is enough to change the shape of a tooth, which can hurt its appearance as well as the overall look of your smile. Harm to your enamel does not always require restorative dental work, but you can feel at ease with the way you look by having the matter addressed through cosmetic dentistry. You can set a consultation at our Virginia Beach, VA dentist’s office to talk about the benefits of restoring a chipped tooth with a custom veneer. The veneers created to restore teeth occupy limited space, only covering the fronts of teeth to make changes to the way they look. Once placed, your restoration can make your smile appear symmetrical and problem-free!
How A Conservative Cosmetic Treatment Restores A Chipped Tooth
With a cosmetic procedure, a tooth’s appearance can be restored while making conservative changes to its structure. Veneers are made from a durable porcelain material that can hold up against years of biting and chewing. Once it has been bonded to the front of your tooth, it can remain in place for many years. This requires less work than the placement of a dental crown, which completely covers a tooth above the gum line.
What To Expect From Having Your Custom Veneer Placed
A tooth is carefully measured before a veneer is designed so that it can be carefully crafted to improve your smile. In addition to measuring the tooth to create a custom restoration, the front of the tooth will undergo slight modifications to ensure the veneer remains firmly bonded.
Other Solutions For Problems With Chipped Or Cracked Teeth
Chipped or cracked teeth can be problems for your appearance, and they can create issues with your oral health as well. Before deciding on a specific procedure, we can do a review to determine if restorative dentistry is required. If so, a dental crown can improve your bite and also make positive changes to the way you look. You can also address cosmetic problems with a dental bonding procedure, which relies on a resin material to change the shape and size of a tooth without the need to make or place a restoration.
