Restoring Chipped Teeth






Chipped teeth are not unhealthy. However, they do look unsightly, particularly when they are at the front. Even if the chip is small, it can take away from your smile and make it look unpleasing, as a result making you desperate to get it fixed.
The good news is, there is a way to fix chipped teeth so that they look normal, healthy and beautiful again.

Materials that dentists use for tooth restoration:

Although every case is different and is evaluated carefully by a Brampton dentist, there are basically two kinds of materials used for repairing chipped teeth:
  1. Composite resins: composite raisins are a mix of glass and plastic substances that are used in liquid form and then hardened in layers on the tooth’s surface for recreating the original shape and color of the tooth.
  2. Porcelains: Porcelains are oven-fired ceramics that are normally used for veneers or crowns.
Which is the right material for you?

To figure out which material will be apt for your teeth, the dentist will first look at the the location of the damage. In most cases, composite resins are used for mild or moderate chipping. Composite raisin is also the popular choice for any enamel breaks and decayed areas of the front teeth. Veneers or crowns are better for damage or discoloration which is more extensive.
Every material has both benefits and drawbacks. For instance, composite resins can be applied in just one visit. However, they do require skillful techniques from dentists so that they look natural.
Porcelain is the most durable and provides excellent natural tooth appearance. This treatment, however, requires a great part of the natural tooth to be taken out for accommodating the new veneer or crown. Also, this treatment requires more than one appointment and a dental lab for creating the restoration.
The only way to find out which option is best for you is to visit your dentist in Brampton. He/she will examine your teeth and will suggest the best treatment possible.
