Assessing and Addressing the Damage
The approach to treating a fractured tooth depends largely on the type and severity of the fracture. Our first step is a thorough assessment using advanced diagnostic tools to determine the extent of the damage. For minor cracks or chips, simple bonding or filling procedures may suffice. These treatments involve applying a tooth-colored composite resin to the damaged area, restoring the tooth's shape and appearance.
Advanced Care for Complex Fractures
More severe fractures, especially those that reach the tooth's pulp or root, may require comprehensive treatments like root canal therapy followed by crown placement. In cases where the tooth's structure is significantly compromised, a dental crown can provide the necessary strength and protection, restoring the tooth's functionality and preventing further damage. Our team works meticulously to ensure that any restorations not only function effectively but also blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Preserving Natural Teeth Whenever Possible
Our philosophy at Santa Ana Dental Specialists is to preserve your natural teeth whenever possible. We employ minimally invasive techniques to repair fractured teeth, aiming to retain as much of the natural tooth structure as we can. This approach not only benefits your oral health but also contributes to more natural-looking results.
