Solutions For A Chipped Tooth

Reoccurring Tooth Damage: If you consistently experience chipped teeth, you may be suffering from an underlying dental concern. Broken teeth may be a result of an imbalanced bite, TMJ disorder, or teeth grinding. Dr. Petkevis has completed extensive training in identifying and treating TMJ and other bite disorder. An imbalanced bite can cause stress on certain teeth, causing them to weaken and break over time. Dr. Petkevis will work with you to identify any underlying dental concerns and create a solution based on your needs. Treatment options may include bite equilibration (reshaping the teeth), orthodontics or other restorative treatments to rebalance the bite.

One Time Tooth Damage: For patients who have experienced trauma or an accident that has resulted in a chipped tooth, Dr. Petkevis may recommend general or cosmetic dentistry treatment to restore your smile. Depending on the location and extent of damage, Dr. Petkevis may recommend dental bonding, dental crowns, or porcelain veneers, to restore your smile.
