What Causes Chipped Teeth

Chipped teeth can occur due to various reasons, including:

Accidents and Trauma:

Falls, car accidents, and sports injuries can lead to sudden impacts that chip or break teeth.

Biting Hard Objects:

Eating hard foods like nuts, candy, or ice can sometimes result in a chipped tooth.

Weak Enamel:

Teeth with weakened enamel due to poor dental hygiene or previous dental treatments are more susceptible to chipping.

Teeth Grinding:

Chronic grinding or clenching (bruxism) can wear down teeth and make them more prone to chipping.

Age:

As we age, our teeth naturally become more brittle, increasing the risk of chipping.

How Can We Treat Chipped Teeth?

We offer comprehensive treatment options to restore chipped teeth and alleviate any associated discomfort. Our emergency dentists are skilled in a range of procedures to ensure your tooth is repaired with precision and care.

Treatment options include:

Dental Bonding:

A tooth-coloured resin is applied to the chipped area and shaped to restore the tooth’s natural appearance.

Dental Crowns:

For more severe chips, a crown can cover and protect the damaged tooth, restoring both function and aesthetics.

Veneers:

Thin porcelain veneers can be used to cover the front surface of the chipped tooth, providing a durable and natural-looking solution.

Root Canal Therapy:

If the chip has affected the tooth’s pulp, a root canal may be necessary to remove the damaged tissue and prevent infection.

Tooth Recontouring:

Minor chips can often be smoothed and polished to blend seamlessly with the rest of the tooth.

"Fantastic dentist"

I hadn’t been to the dentist for year as i’ve always been too scared!! I plucked up the courage after Dr Ketan Sheth treated my 9 and 11 year old children and they were fine. Can honestly say now I don’t know why I didn’t go sooner. Dr Ketan Sheth is a fantastic dentist and all the staff and the surgery as a whole there is 5 star! Thank you for all your help and see you in 6 months.

"Immaculately Clean"

I have been using FACEMED for a number of years now for natural, painless Botox injections. A few years ago I decided to also have Blepharoplasty Eyelid Surgery. The clinic has its own operating theatre for the Consultant Plastic Surgeon to perform surgery, the results were perfect. FACEMED is immaculately clean, the staff are professional and helpful and Monica is an absolute expert in her field.

Monica is professional, thorough and honest and puts you at ease. I absolutely wouldn’t trust anyone else. The results are always very natural. The clinic is beautifully clean and always smells amazing! If I ever decide to go further than my regular ‘tweakments’ FACEMED will absolutely be my first port of call.
