Keeping your teeth free of chips is not as difficult as it might seem. Fortunately, your enamel is some pretty strong stuff (it’s the outer layer of your tooth). Yes, it is very strong but as you have come to realize, occasional damage is possible. Here’s what you need to know in order to keep those teeth solid and intact:
Not sure what damage has just occurred? No problem. We suggest you come in for a dental visit, so we can check in on your teeth. It could be a chip, which we can fix with cosmetic dentistry. Or, it could be a serious crack or break. Not to worry! We can fix it all.
If it is, indeed, a chip, you will require cosmetic dentistry to repair the damage. Very minor issues are easily addressed with bonding to replace the tissue or contouring to smooth the damage. We may treat a chipped tooth with a veneer, as well, if you are interested in a more dramatic tooth improvement.
Come in soon if you’ve chipped your tooth and require cosmetic care. Set up an appointment in Grand Prairie, TX by contacting your dentist at Pecan Tree Dental to schedule a visit at (972) 262-5111.
