Broken teeth are a risk to oral and overall health. Teeth may break, become worn or damage from:
- Daily oral activities such as eating
- Bad habits such as using the teeth as a tool to bite things open
- Teeth grinding during the day or in sleep
- Erosion by acid or sugary foods and oral bacteria
- Injury such as in contact sports or accidents
Leaving broken teeth untreated may damage neighbouring teeth and how teeth bite together. Broken teeth may lead to occlusion problems requiring more extensive treatment. Bacteria may enter the inner tooth dentin and dental pulp causing root canal infection. Gum disease may set in and lead to tooth and bone loss. For these reasons, it is important to have broken teeth restored.
At Liverpool Dental Spa we offer patients a range of choices for restoring broken teeth to prevent further oral trauma, infection and tooth loss. We have invested in CEREC technology to provide treatments such as porcelain veneers, crowns, inlays and onlays.
CEREC veneers
CEREC veneers are ideal for masking worn and discoloured teeth while protecting the outer tooth surface. Damaged tooth cusps may be restored with CEREC crowns or onlays. Inlays may be used to fill deep tooth cavities.
We use tooth-coloured dental composite and porcelain to fill tooth chips and cracks, blending the dental material with the natural tooth structure for greater strength. Once the fillings are in place, there difference between the existing tooth and restoration is not obvious. Tooth quality is enhanced and looks just like natural, healthy teeth.
Where teeth are broken and cannot be saved, dental implant-supported crowns may be used to replace missing teeth. Broken and missing teeth may detract from facial expression. Our CEREC and Dental Spa restorations in central Liverpool make all the difference, transforming smiles and emphasizing natural beauty.
