Restorative Options for Damaged or Worn Teeth
At Chapel Dental Practice, we understand how damaged or worn teeth can affect your confidence, especially for our Flackwell Heath community. Whether from grinding, ageing, or injury, we offer restorative options to bring back your smile’s strength and beauty.
Composite Bonding
Composite bonding is a minimally invasive solution where tooth-coloured resin is applied to repair chips, cracks, or worn edges. It’s ideal for minor damage, requires no enamel removal, and can be completed in one visit. The resin is sculpted to match your teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics. It typically lasts 3–8 years with good care but may need touch-ups if stained or chipped.
Veneers
Veneers, either composite or porcelain, are another option. These thin shells cover the front of damaged or worn teeth, addressing issues like severe discolouration or uneven shapes.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers, made in a lab, require slight enamel removal but offer durability (10–20 years) and stain resistance.
Composite Veneers
Composite veneers are less invasive but typically last 5–7 years. Both options create a natural, polished look.
Crowns
For more extensive damage, crowns may be recommended. These tooth-shaped caps cover the entire visible tooth, providing strength and protection for severely worn or fractured teeth. Crowns are durable, often lasting 10–15 years, and can be matched to your natural teeth for a seamless smile.
Which Option is Right for You?
Each option depends on your unique needs. Our team at Chapel Dental will assess your teeth and discuss your goals to recommend the best solution. We’re here to help Flackwell Heath families and residents smile proudly again!
