An added benefit is that each\nprocedure requires only a short treatment process to complete. Read on to learn\nwhat your options are and their benefits!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fast Results with Dental Bonding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of your options for restoring a chipped tooth is the\ndental bonding method. The procedure relies on the usage of a tooth-colored, compound-resin\nmaterial that is added directly to the disformed tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dentist will then shape the material so it will blend\nperfectly with your existing smile. Then, a special light will be used to harden\nthe resin, leaving you fully restored in just one dental visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Beautiful Smile with Porcelain Veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another way to respond to a chipped tooth is to have\nporcelain veneers placed. The razor-thin ceramics are custom-designed and fabricated\nto fit directly over your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the typical steps to the procedure:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>A thin layer of enamel is first removed.<\/li><li>Bite impressions are taken.<\/li><li>While the results are sent to a professional\nceramicist to create the final fixtures, you\u2019ll be fitted with a temporary set\nof veneers.<\/li><li>When they\u2019re ready, you\u2019ll return to your\ndentist\u2019s office to have the permanent shells affixed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Once they are bonded to your teeth, your dentist will then\nshape and shade the veneers to ensure you have the most realistic appearance\npossible. In just two-to-three visits, your smile will be beautifully-revamped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Dental Crown to the Rescue<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If a tooth chip is too severe to be repaired with either the\ndental bonding or porcelain veneers treatment methods, then the placement of a\ndental crown may be recommended. A porcelain fixture, the tooth-colored crown\nfirst requires that the existing tooth be shaped so the new restoration can be bonded\nin place, leaving you with a natural-looking set of ivories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A New Era in Dentistry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In times past, patients were forced to choose between\nfunctionality and aesthetics. With the new innovations in dentistry, as evidenced\nby the above procedures, there are now ways to enjoy the best of both worlds!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before any work is done, your dentist will first examine\nyour tooth to determine which process is best suited to accommodate your specific\nneeds. Then, with your tooth restored, you\u2019ll be able to chew your food evenly,\nwhich spells improved digestion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another benefit of having your chipped tooth repaired is\nthat it better prevents any unnatural wear, which could eventually leave the\ntooth further weakened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To find what which option is best for you, contact your dentist\nto schedule an appointment today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For over 40 years, Dr. James Greer has been dedicated to\nhelping every patient who enters his practice experience the best in oral\nhealth.
