Front teeth repair options

Front tooth crown option

Imagine having a broken or cracked front tooth. Teeth crowns such as tiny hats are specially made to cover damaged or aesthetically inappropriate teeth and fully protect them. It works like an ultra-strong shields, restoring the original shape, size, and strength of the teeth, all while giving it a natural look. Crowns are usually made of durable materials such as porcelain, which blends beautifully with your surrounding teeth.

Why Choose Crowns?

Crowns offer a complete smile makeover, addressing both functionality and aesthetics. They are particularly beneficial for teeth that have suffered significant damage, such as deep decay, fractures, or even after root canal therapy. Unlike fillings, crowns offer exceptional protection and durability, making them a long-term investment in your oral health and a confident smile.

Getting a Crown:

The process of getting a dental crown typically involves two comfortable visits to your dentist. During the first visit, the dentist will perform X-rays to examine the tooth’s roots and determine if there is severe decay or if the injury has reached the tooth’s pulp, in which case a root canal treatment may be performed first. Before starting the crown-making process, your dentist will anesthetize the tooth and the surrounding gum tissue. The dentist will then use a filling material to reshape the tooth. After that, an impression of the tooth will be taken with paste to determine the size and measurements needed for the crown; sometimes precise digital impressions are used. During the first visit, your dentist will also make a temporary crown for the tooth.

During the second visit, the temporary crown will be removed, and the fit and color of the permanent crown will be checked. If it is suitable, it will be permanently affixed.

Front Teeth Veneers options

Dental veneers are essentially extremely thin shells that are made to order from premium porcelain or resin composite materials and bonded straight to the front of your teeth. They are perfect for taking care of a range of aesthetic issues that may be preventing you from smiling with confidence. Veneers can change your smile in the following ways:

• Discoloration: veneers are an excellent way to cover up stubborn stains or teeth that have darkened due to aging, medicine, or even coffee. This makes it possible for you to have a happier, more youthful-looking smile.

•  Minor Misalignments: veneers can give the appearance of straighter teeth if you have small gaps in your teeth or slightly misaligned teeth.

• Cracks: veneers are a simple way to conceal cracks on the front surface of your teeth, giving them a smooth, attractive appearance again.

The Veneer Advantage:

Unlike crowns, veneers require minimal removal of tooth structure, making them a gentle option for cosmetic enhancement. Since veneers are typically made from porcelain, they are resistant to stains and can maintain a flawless appearance for many years with proper care.

The Veneer Procedure:

The veneer procedure is less invasive than that of crowns and can often be completed in just two appointments. During the first visit, your dentist will prepare your teeth and take molds to ensure a perfect fit. The second visit involves the application of custom-made veneers, meticulously bonded to the front surface of your teeth, creating a seamless and natural-looking smile.
