Do you have minor chips, breaks, or cracks in your teeth you’d like to fix? It’s perfectly natural for permanent teeth to experience wear and tear. To address it, our practice is pleased to offer composite resin restoration as part of our restorative services.
Why Do Teeth Crack, Chip, or Break?
Teeth can be damaged by accidents, sporting activities, chewing hard items, or using your teeth to open things. Weakened teeth are at the greatest risk — when enamel breaks down over time, the tooth underneath is left exposed and far more vulnerable.
Foods That Crack Teeth
- Ice
- Popcorn kernels
- Hard candies
Foods That Erode Enamel
- Coffee
- Fruit juices
- Sugar and processed foods
- Sodas and sweet beverages
If you damage a tooth, come see us. We’ll apply composite resin to restore the tooth to its former state — and in many cases make it stronger than it was before.
What Is Composite Resin Restoration?
Composite resin is a filling material designed to restore teeth with chips or cracks. It can also be used to fill cavities.
Also known as “white filling,” composite resin is carefully applied to the damaged area and shaped to fit the existing space. A specialized dental light then cures the resin to harden it.
The process takes very little time and leaves patients with more uniform, unblemished teeth. Your restored tooth is as good as new.
