Even though our tooth enamel is remarkably strong, we are vulnerable to oral health issues when we fail to practice good hygiene habits. Unfortunately, we are also vulnerable to physical injuries that leave us with broken teeth. Any time you experience physical tooth trauma, you should have an evaluation to determine what kind of care you might require. Our Virginia Beach, VA dentist’s office is prepared to help you manage a problem with your smile and oral health when a dental injury affects you. Based on the state of your tooth, we can determine if you are better served by cosmetic work or a more involved restorative procedure.
We Provide Different Services For A Broken Tooth
Any time you have concerns about the health of a tooth, our practice can meet with you to review your treatment options. Physical injuries can call for different approaches to care. To see what kind of support you require, we will have to study the damage and see if there are oral health issues that need to be managed. If possible, we can recommend that you undergo cosmetic dental work that makes conservative changes to your appearance and enamel. When necessary, we can help you by recommending restorative dental treatment.
Treating Cosmetic Damage With A Conservative Procedure
A conservative cosmetic dental procedure can take care of your smile while minimizing changes to your tooth structure. There are different strategies that can help in this kind of situation. Through tooth bonding and contouring work, we can reshape a tooth and target physical injuries through the application of a resin material. Because this does not call for a permanent restoration, we can have your results in as little as one appointment! You can also see benefits from treatment with porcelain veneers. With veneers, we can make welcome improvements to your appearance by capping the front surfaces of teeth with thin restorations that are custom-made to hide your flaws. Because only the tooth’s front surface is modified, the surrounding structure can remain unchanged.
Restoring An Unhealthy Tooth
If there are concerns about your oral health, we can restore your broken tooth with a dental crown. A crown provides bite support as well as cosmetic coverage. When there are signs of an infection or internal damage, we can provide a root canal before your dental crown is put in place.
