Treating Damaged Teeth in Burlington, NC

Finding the right solution for chipped or fractured teeth now can prevent a more complex dental issue in the future. When chipped teeth are left untreated, everyday habits can cause wear and tear on the teeth and result in further damage. In advanced cases, leaving chipped teeth untreated may lead to tooth loss. Our goal is to restore damaged teeth before a more advanced issue develops.

During your visit, one of our experienced dentists will examine your teeth and determine if any underlying dental issues are affecting your teeth. We will address any underlying issues as well as find a solution to restore the damaged tooth. Depending on your needs, we may suggest the use of dental bonding, dental crown, or porcelain veneers.

Dental Bonding: Dental bonding can quickly restore a chipped tooth in just one short visit to our Burlington, NC dental office. We use a tooth-colored composite resin that is carefully adhered to the affected tooth. The composite resin is shaped to blend with your natural smile. Ultraviolet light is used to harden the composite resin into place, creating a beautiful, natural looking result.

Dental Crown: A dental crown acts as a “cap” to cover the damaged portion of a tooth. Receiving a dental crown may require at least two visits to our Burlington, NC dental office. During your first visit, an impression of your teeth is taken to create a custom-made dental crown. You will be given a temporary dental grown during the fabrication process. Once your dental crown is completed, your dentist will carefully place your new dental crown.

Porcelain Veneers: Porcelain veneers can be used to address a wide range of dental concerns. Porcelain veneers are thin, ceramic shells that cover the front and sides of your teeth. Receiving porcelain veneers will require at least two visits to Fuller Dental. During your first visit, your Burlington dentist will take impressions of your teeth to create your custom-made porcelain veneers. Porcelain veneers typically take about 2-3 weeks. During the fabrication process, your dentist will provide temporary veneers. Once your problem veneers are completed, your dentist will carefully place your porcelain veneers.
