A cracked or chipped tooth needs to be treated to prevent further serious problems developing. Your dentist can discuss the repair options available to restore your teeth and smile.
Key takeaways:
- Dental crowns provide a permanent restoration for teeth with more severe cracks.
- Dental bonding builds a tooth back up, helping protect the tooth from further damage.
- Dental veneers are thin, porcelain shells which offer protection while also enhancing the appearance of a tooth when fitted.
“A dental crown is a porcelain ceramic replica of your natural tooth that’s placed over the tooth. This is a permanent restoration that will look indistinguishable from your natural teeth.”
