Children who play sports or certain instruments are more prone to chipped teeth. It is an unfortunate risk for some activities. The most important thing is that the chipped tooth is repaired quickly and professionally. You need a dentist from Chester Road Family Dental to ensure the tooth is repaired most effectively.
Before choosing a treatment for repairing the tooth, we will first need to assess the damage. We will invite you to visit Chester Road Family Dental for an appointment. Your dental team will then carry out an exam and decide on the best course of action. The repair type will depend on several factors, such as where the tooth is located and the severity of the damage. Typically repair options include fillings or bonding with a tooth-colored composite resin.
There are various ways that we can repair cracked or broken teeth. Much like with a chipped tooth, the repair treatment that we choose is dictated by the damage to the tooth and where it rests in the mouth. It is the job of Chester Road Family Dental to make sure the tooth is restored and strengthened, so we will always choose the most suitable treatment.
Besides filling and bonding, other repair options include crowns, or we will remove the broken tooth and replace it with an implanted tooth or bridge. We do not remove healthy teeth unless it is absolutely necessary. We will always attempt to repair the tooth where possible.
If you have damaged a tooth in any way, do not delay in seeking help from Chester Road Family Dental. The sooner we carry out treatment, the greater the likelihood that we can save the tooth. Contact our office today to schedule an appointment.
