You’re enjoying your favorite treat at the family reunion – your aunt’s home made peanut brittle! You can’t get enough, and you’re eating your third piece when your front tooth chips. While this is a small chip that doesn’t seem to be an emergency, it does affect the appearance of your smile, and suddenly you feel a bit embarrassed about smiling. Give Exceptional Dentistry a call today because your dentist in Melbourne offers excellent solutions for a chipped tooth!
Cosmetic Bonding Can Restore Your Smile
Dental bonding utilizes the same material used in fillings known as composite resin. Because composite is pliable and easy to work with, it’s ideal for repairing small fractures and chipping. Bonding can also restore issues such as:
- Discoloration and staining
- Filling in the space left by gum recession
- Repairing size discrepancies and filling small gaps
Composite can be customized to match your existing teeth and naturally complement your smile. It’s durable so you can rely on your restoration for many years. The treatment can be done quickly and can typically be completed during one appointment, so you’ll be enjoying your new smile in no time.
Other Cosmetic Options
If your imperfection is more than dental bonding can repair, your cosmetic dentist in Melbourne may recommend other options for restoring your smile such as porcelain veneers. This is an ideal repair for one or multiple teeth, and veneers can be used to customize and enhance your entire smile.
Porcelain veneers are directly bonded to your tooth, so they’re ideal for repairing similar issue as cosmetic bonding, but a veneer covers your entire tooth. They can also be customized to create the smile of your dreams. They’re also easy to care for as you’ll brush and floss normally. With great home care, your veneers can potentially last for 12-15 years.
