Fixing Cracked or Chipped Teeth

Dealing with a chipped or broken tooth? Here’s how to repair it!

We know that dealing with a cracked or chipped tooth is enough to stress anyone out, but our dentists Dr. Joseph Sullivan, Dr. Jeffrey Turner, and Dr. Raj Darji can alleviate that stress. We offer a wide range of restorative and cosmetic dentistry options to those living in and around Camden County, NJ. Here are the most common ways that we will treat your cracked or chipped tooth,

Dental Bonding

If you are dealing with more minor chips or other imperfections in a tooth then our Camden County, NJ, cosmetic dentistry team may recommend dental bonding. Bonding is a completely non-invasive treatment that involves applying a tooth-colored material to the area to improve the shape and appearance of a chipped tooth. The dental resin that we use is first matched to the color of your tooth before it is applied, shaped, and hardened into place.

Dental Crowns

If you are dealing with more extensive damage such as a cracked or broken tooth, then it may be best to place a dental crown over the tooth. After all, a cracked or broken tooth is also weaker and prone to further damage, but by placing a dental crown over the tooth and cementing it into the place we can fully protect and preserve the natural tooth. With proper care, dental crowns can last up to 15 years.

Dental Veneers

If you have a couple of teeth that are chipped but they are still strong and healthy, then porcelain veneers can be bonded to the front surface of your teeth to hide these imperfections. Veneers are custom porcelain shells that can improve the shape, size, and color of one or more teeth.

Veneers are a permanent cosmetic treatment that is fully stain-resistant, incredibly durable, and can last anywhere from 10-15 years before needing to be replaced. If you’re looking to make more widespread alterations to your smile, veneers may be the best approach.
