It can be hard to remain confident and calm when you break a tooth. After all, this is a painful problem, and it is one that leaves you with damage that will not heal on its own. While we may not be able to wait for our teeth to repair themselves after trauma, patients at our Virginia Beach, VA dentist’s office can count on our support to address problems stemming from an injury. After a review of your broken tooth, we can determine if you should undergo restorative dental work, or if your issues can be resolved through cosmetic treatment.
A Dental Injury Can Put Your Smile And Oral Health At Risk
The more time you wait to schedule treatment for your injured tooth, the more likely you are to have complications that can impact your appearance and oral health. Even if the injury is not serious initially, friction can lead to more structural damage, and the infiltration of bacteria can lead to a painful infection. Fortunately, these are issues that our practice can address. Whether you have superficial damage that needs attention or are already dealing with complications from a more serious problem, we can fully review your options for support.
Conservative Cosmetic Treatment For An Injury
A timely cosmetic dental procedure can hide the effects of chipping or cracking on your tooth, which can lead to the welcome restoration of your smile. We can look at the benefits of tooth bonding treatment to hide the harm to your enamel, or we can discuss the placement of a porcelain veneer to cover damages. Both of these options only require limited changes to your enamel. Because bonding treatment will not call for the placement of a restoration, it is something that we can actually complete in as little as one visit!
Restoring A Hurt Tooth With A Dental Crown
If your tooth requires more than just cosmetic treatment, we can recommend that you have a lifelike dental crown put in place. With this arrangement, we can make sure that you have the support you need to comfortably bite and chew, and we can protect you against complications over time. Your restoration can also match the appearance of your healthy enamel to preserve how you look.
