Fractured or Worn Tooth
Fractured or worn teeth can happen due to a number of different reasons. These can include bad habits such as biting nails or chewing hard foods, dental injuries or poor oral hygiene. Fortunately, your tooth can be repaired by using advanced dental procedures.
At The Glenroy Dental Group, we offer a wide range of restorative and cosmetic dental procedures to fix damaged teeth. The treatment that’s suitable for you will depend on how badly your teeth are damaged. We have many options, and we will help you pick the right one.
Five Procedures That Can Repair Fractured or Worn Tooth
- Customised mouthguards – clenching and grinding can wear your teeth down over time. To address this issue and prevent further damage, you may be required to wear a custom-made mouth appliance to realign and improve your bite.
- Dental bonding – this procedure can repair a variety of flaws such as chipped, cracked, misshapen and teeth gaps as well as the tooth that has been affected by decay. Dental bonding doesn’t require an anaesthetic unless it’s being used for cavities.
- Dental Veneers – when bonded to the front of the tooth, veneers can conceal flaws and significantly improve the appearance of the tooth. With proper care, these veneers can last up to three decades.
- Dental Crowns – when chewing or drinking causes tooth pain or when a tooth is badly chipped, your dentist may recommend a dental crown. It’s a common restorative dental treatment that covers the tooth and protects it as well as improves its overall appearance.
- Root canal therapy – a crack that has extended into the dental pulp calls for root canal treatment. Moreover, this treatment is also recommended if you experience extreme tooth pain with accompanying sensitivity or swelling.
