A common dental emergency is a chipped front tooth. Teeth can crack, chip, or break for many reasons. Some of the common causes are due to tooth trauma such as bruxism (teeth grinding,) biting on something hard, or trauma such as a hit or a fall.
Dental bonding can work very well in some cases to repair a broken, cracked or chipped tooth. Bonding is a pain-free procedure that involves using a composite resin, matched to the color of the original tooth, to repair a crack or chip – and even improve the shape. The surface is prepared (by roughening it) and then the resin is applied. Once cured under a special light, the tooth is polished.
In total, the procedure should only take between 30 and 60 minutes. Bonding is completely reversible, unlike the application of veneers or crowns.
When dental bonding does not work, or the patient is not a suitable candidate, a porcelain veneer or a crown is a more permanent solution for fixing a broken tooth.
The patient fractured his front tooth while eating by biting down hard on a fork. He also grinds his teeth at night which had made the enamel weaker and more susceptible to damage. We bonded the tooth with a resin composite and the cosmetic results were very good. The patient was advised he will have to be careful while eating in the future, so as not to bite on his front tooth.
In this case the patient chipped her front tooth while eating dinner – a very common way that damage can be sustained. We were able to repair it with a bit of bonding and the results look amazing.
Our patient broke his front tooth because he grinds his teeth at night. (Unfortunately he was not using his Night Guard regularly.) We repaired it by dental bonding with good results, but he’ll have to be careful not to bite on anything too hard, and use his night guard regularly for the dental bonding to last.
However, it’s not only those looking to enhance their smile through procedures like, for example, whitening or veneers, who require cosmetic treatment. The other group of people are those who, for emergency reasons, need to undertake a procedure after an accident, incident or crisis of some kind. This includes loss or damage to front teeth through impact or sustained trauma.
Manhattan dentists are regularly asked to provide cosmetic services, which can cover a wide range of procedures aimed at improving and enhancing the appearance of teeth and the general esthetics of a smile. Some of the aspects covered include shape, alignment, size, color, and position of the teeth, with the most common and straightforward procedures being straightening or whitening.
The field also deals with more complex issues around the gums and the ‘bite’, and encompasses the replacement or repair of a tooth (or multiple teeth), in order to maintain functionality – including speech and being able to chew properly.
The technology of dentistry is advancing at a rapid rate, and there are a great many new procedures that mean patients have options at their disposal that weren’t there even a few short years ago. Crooked, discoloured and mis-shapen teeth can all be corrected to create that perfect smile, and missing, chipped or broken teeth can be repaired or replaced – particularly in an emergency situation.
Today, some of the main procedures requested by patients are:
