Best Restorative Options for Chipped Teeth

Posted on 2/15/2019 by Alyce

When we were children, it was not all that unusual for us to chip a baby tooth. Lots of kids chip their teeth playing sports, or during a fall. If you chip a tooth during childhood, it is not that big of a deal because your baby teeth fall out and are replaced by adult teeth.

However, if you chip your teeth during adulthood, you have to live with it. The good news is, you don't have to. There are many restorative options we can give you if you chip a tooth.

Dental Fillings

Sometimes, a tooth can be fixed by just putting a filling on the surface of the tooth in order to fill in a hole in your tooth. Fillings are best used when the chip is in the middle of the tooth, or when the chip is close to the gumline.

Dental Crowns

Sometimes, the chip is so large, we can't fix it with a filling. This often happens when there has been trauma to the tooth area due to an accident. In those cases, we can use a crown in order to restore the tooth to the right size and color to match the rest of your teeth.

Dental Bridges

Dental bridges can replace multiple chipped teeth at one time, especially if some of the teeth have broken off completely. Dental bridges usually consist of two teeth with crowns that act as anchors for a partial denture. Many people choose dental bridges, because they are cost effective.

Dental Implants

We often use dental implants because they are often the best option for our clients. Dental implants are the closest thing to a real tooth that we can do. Because the implant screws directly into the jawbone, it continues to stimulate the jawbone so that it doesn't deteriorate.

If you have chipped teeth, give us a call, and let us tell you about all of your options to restore your beautiful smile.

"The first thought that comes to mind for this dental office is "kindness". Perhaps the Kind in Dr. Kindt's name was meant to be! Dr. Kindt and his staff offer the very best in dental care. I recently had extensive cosmetic dental work done and am delighted with the results. The great thing is that people notice my lovely teeth and I get lots of compliments when I smile. I consider Dr. Tim an artist when it comes to dental work. In addition to beautiful work the next best thing is that during hours of extensive work I experienced NO discomfort or pain. The final results combined with the utmost care for my comfort make it easy for me to give this dental office a five star rating." ~ Elaine S.
