Maybe you fell into concrete. Or you were chewing ice or hard candy. When you first realize you have a cracked or broken tooth, it can be a scary time. But don’t worry. Your tooth and your smile can be repaired.
At Gorbatov Dentistry, we see a lot of patients with broken or chipped teeth. Dr. Gorbatov along with our friendly staff knows how to handle this type of situation.
We are able to use restorative and cosmetic procedures to repair damaged teeth. The right treatment for you will depend on how badly your tooth is damaged. But, you do have options, and advancements today mean you don’t have to live with unattractive teeth.
The enamel that covers your teeth is the strongest tissue in your body, but it can still be broken or cracked.
Teeth can be damaged in many ways. Maybe you were doing something you probably shouldn’t have, like playing football without a mouth guard or chewing on a pencil. Or maybe you suffered a traumatic fall, crash, or blow.
According to the American Dental Association, the top nine foods that damage your teeth are hard candies, ice, citrus, coffee, dried fruit, potato chips, soda, alcohol, and sports drinks.
Tooth decay or cavities can also weaken your teeth, causing them to be more likely to break when you are chewing hard food.
Several types of cracked teeth exist.
Here are five procedures that can repair your cracked or broken tooth
Our dentist will determine which of the following treatments is best for you and your mouth.
Composite bonding is a way to repair chipped, cracked, decayed, discolored, misshapen, and gapped teeth. Composite bonding can last up to 10 years. During the procedure, anesthesia won’t be required unless bonding is being used for cavities.
Our dentist will roughen your tooth and put on a conditioning liquid. Putty will be applied, molded, and smoothed. Then, an ultraviolet light is used to harden the composite. When the tooth bonding has dried, it will be shaped and polished to match the rest of the tooth.
Veneers are covers for a tooth. At our dentist office, we use porcelain veneers because they provide the most attractive and realistic results possible.
The veneer is bonded to the front of the tooth, transforming the tooth’s appearance. With good care, veneers can last up to 30 years, so you won’t have to worry about getting it replaced regularly.
You can have veneers placed on one tooth or a few. And it’s up to you how you want your veneer to look. This cosmetic treatment is truly a wonderful option for many people. But, if you grind your teeth, veneers may not be recommended for you because you will wear them down.
How veneers are placed on your tooth
If your tooth is chipped badly or you have pain when chewing or drinking, you may need a crown. Crowns are one of the most common restorative treatments.
A crown is a cap that covers the tooth and protects in and approves the appearance. It acts as a strong covering for your tooth. When you get a crown, this prevents you from losing your tooth. Without a crown, a damaged tooth won’t be able to withstand the pressure of chewing.
At our dentist office, we use crowns created from tooth-colored porcelain to create a natural, uniform look. Our crowns are created for each patient and made to match your tooth perfectly.
Here’s how crowns are placed on your tooth:
If you have a crack in your tooth that has extended into the pulp, the tooth can be treated with a root canal. Sometime after the root canal, a crown can be placed to protect the crack from spreading. Until then, you will be given a temporary crown to wear.
Getting a root canal involves clearing out the decayed tooth matter and removing the nerve. This procedure has a bad reputation for being painful. But if it’s done right, you should feel no pain or only minor discomfort.
If you have a toothache, sensitivity, or swelling, you may need a root canal. Left untreated, an infection can spread, causing an abscess, bone loss, and other serious problems.
here’s how root canal therapy works:
The entire therapy will most likely take more than one dental appointment.
If you have a crack in your tooth that extends below the gum line, your tooth is no longer treatable, and the tooth won’t be able to be saved. You will need a tooth extraction, which means your tooth will need to be pulled. And then, you can get a dental implant to replace your natural tooth.
Dental implants take the place of your missing teeth. They act as your tooth’s new root and are placed securely in your jawbone for a lasting fit.
Here’s how a dental implant procedure works:
If you don’t have enough bone to place dental implants, Dr. Silverman can perform a bone graft procedure.
If you think your tooth might be cracked or broken or you know it is, you need to see a dentist right away.
Why? So you can avoid further damage and possible infection. And maybe even save your tooth.
If you have a broken or cracked tooth, come see Gorbatov Dentistry in Hollywood, FL.
