An injury that leaves you with a tooth that is chipped or cracked can be a blight on your smile. People are generally not happy to have to show off a set of teeth marred by one damaged tooth. If you are after a solution to this problem, you should know that cosmetic dental work can offer a viable solution in less time than you may expect. By performing a dental bonding treatment, your dentist can cover up chips and cracks using composite resin. After the material is applied, it can be shaped to hide any real evidence of unsightly harm.
Minor Injuries Can Still Disrupt Your Smile
A big concern after a dental injury is how it will affect your oral health. A chip or crack in a tooth may not do enough damage to be a functional threat, but it can still disrupt your smile. When this occurs, your dentist might recommend a cosmetic treatment, so that your appearance is no longer adversely altered. A dental bonding treatment can take care of a problem tooth, and you can have your desired results after one appointment.
A Serious Injury Can Require Restorative Dental Work
If you have an injury to a tooth, make sure your dentist has an opportunity to examine the problem. You might have damage that affects how well your tooth can bite or chew, and that can call for restorative dental work. With a dental crown, an injured tooth can be fully protected. Once it is affixed, you can feel confident in your ability to bite and chew once again.
