Esthetics

There are many possible causes. Trauma to a tooth can cause discoloration. Severe illness during tooth development can discolor areas of teeth because of disruptions in tooth development. Additionally, an entire tooth might discolor if exposed to certain medicines or minerals during development. Lastly, poor oral hygiene can lead to discolored areas on teeth as well. Whatever the cause, our comprehensive oral evaluation can determine the cause and possible solutions.

Bonding tooth-colored resin to the tooth or cementing tooth-colored veneers not only restores the appearance of discolored teeth, and restores the original shape of chipped or broken teeth as well. These techniques are less costly than crowns and generally can be done without a lot of tooth preparation. They restore the natural appearance of the tooth and therefore encourage a confident smile.

Yes, there are some limitations. Although the treatments are conservative, they require some loss of tooth enamel. Also, bonded teeth and veneers are simply not as strong as the original tooth structure. Nail biting, hard foods, and sports accidents can damage them. They must be maintained with good oral hygiene and regular dental visits.

Porcelain crowns give nice cosmetic results for discolored, chipped, or broken teeth. They do present two realities of which a patient should be aware. First, crowns are more costly than other treatments. Second, a significant amount of tooth structure may need to be removed to place a crown.

Whatever your concerns may be, be assured that our comprehensive oral evaluation will determine the cause of broken or discolored teeth and offer solutions to repair them.
