Cracked Teeth
Teeth that have been compromised physically will worsen over time and can result in further damage and additional complications. Depending on the cause we might recommend various options.
A broken or chipped tooth typically requires same-day repair. Depending on the extent of the damage, our Angel Dental Care dentists may recommend one of the following treatments:
Composite bonding
Tooth-coloured filling
Porcelain crown
Root canal therapy
Emergency extraction
If you have a broken tooth fragment, store it in a sealed container or zip-top bag. Keep it moist by covering it with milk, contact solution, or tap water (with a pinch of salt.) Bring it to our office straightaway to try to have it bonded back into place.
Bridges
Bridges are a proven and effective way to replace 1-2 teeth at a time, as long as you have a healthy tooth on either side of the gap. The bridge itself is made to resemble 3-4 natural teeth in a row, but either end is a crown that rests over the supporting tooth.
Like crowns, bridges can be integrated with a pair of dental implants for multi-tooth replacement.
