Do You Have a Chipped Tooth?

If you have a chipped or cracked tooth, don’t wait too long to seek treatment. At Kids Connextion located in Phoenix, AZ, your dentist specializes in crowns, sealants, and much more to preserve your beautiful smile, but also prevent further damage. 

Teeth can break or chip in many different ways, but some of the most common ways are sports injuries, eating hard foods including ice cubes, and falling. Whether the damage is big or small, your dentist offers a variety of treatment options to fix your chipped tooth.

Bonding

For minor fractures, tooth bonding is a great procedure to fix chipped teeth. This safe and affordable solution molds a resin over an adhesive gel. Using ultraviolet light, this resin is then hardened on top of the affected tooth. 

Crowns

If your teeth have deeper cracks and are susceptible to damage, your Phoenix, AZ dentist recommends crowns as a treatment option. A dental crown restores your tooth by covering it with a cap or crown. For a painless procedure, you will receive anesthesia while we file down your tooth to fit the crown. Once the tooth is reduced in size, an impression of the tooth and surrounding teeth will be taken for the mold. Typically, this restoration process takes 2-3 weeks.

 

Sealants

Sealants are great options for people interested in fixing tooth holes in their mouth. Your dentist will first place an adhesive on the teeth. The next step is to place the liquid sealant that hardens and protects the tooth from food particles, debris, bacteria, and any cavities. Sealants are a wonderful treatment method for many issues since they last for 10 years.
