Conservative Dentistry

Chipped, cracked, worn, or misshapen teeth cause trouble beyond just how they look and feel—they can wreak havoc on your physical health and social confidence. Damaged teeth case numerous issues, including:

  • Difficulty in eating comfortably and speaking clearly
  • Oral health problems which only get worse if left untreated
  • Degraded self-confidence due to cosmetic concerns

Healthy Smile Dental is your clinic for comprehensive treatments which address a wide range of dental issues, from minor chips to extensive wear. Our goal is to help you achieve a healthy, functional and beautiful smile that you can feel confident about.

Why you get tooth damage

Chipped teeth:

Sudden impacts like falls, bumps to the face, or biting something hard can cause a piece of tooth to break off. This is usually painless unless it involves the nerve centre.

Cracked teeth:

Cracks can develop similarly to chips from impacts. However, unlike chips, cracks can also form slowly due to teeth grinding (bruxism) or wear and tear over time. Cracked teeth might cause pain when chewing or sensitivity to hot and cold.

Worn teeth:

Everyday use, grinding habits, or consumption of acidic foods and drinks can gradually wear down tooth enamel. This can lead to sensitivity or make teeth look shorter.

Misshapen teeth:

Genetics can contribute to natural variations in tooth size, shape, and alignment.

If you’re experiencing any of these issues, our experienced cosmetic dentists can assess the damage and recommend the best treatment plan tailored to your needs.

How we can fix tooth damage

The appropriate treatment for your tooth depends on the severity and location of the damage. At Healthy Smile Dental, we offer a range of options to restore both the health and appearance of your smile:

Dental bonding:

This quick and cost-effective solution applies a tooth-coloured resin which is shaped to blend seamlessly with your natural tooth. It is ideal for minor chips, cracks, and gaps.

Dental veneers:

Where more extensive treatment is needed, thin shells made of porcelain or resin are bonded to the front surface of the tooth. Veneers are suitable for more significant damage, stubborn discolouration, or cases where bonding may not provide adequate strength. They offer a natural-looking and stain-resistant enhancement to your smile.

Dental crowns:

Custom-made caps, called crowns, cover the entire tooth, offering maximum strength and protection. Crowns are recommended for severely damaged or cracked teeth, to restore the tooth’s normal function and improve its appearance.

Teeth reshaping:

In some cases, minor chips or unevenness can be corrected by simply smoothing the tooth enamel. This is a minimally invasive procedure for a quick cosmetic touch-up.

Orthodontics:

If your teeth are misshapen due to misalignment, clear aligners can effectively straighten your teeth, improving your bite and overall smile aesthetics.

How you can prevent tooth damage

1. Brush your teeth twice a day for two minutes with a soft-bristled brush.

2. Floss daily to remove plaque and bacteria from between your teeth.

3. Limit sugary drinks and snacks.

4. Avoid sticky treats that can cling to your teeth and promote decay.

5. Refrain from biting on hard foods like ice, nuts, popcorn kernels, and hard candies.

6. Wear a mouthguard if you grind your teeth at night.

7. Schedule regular dental check-ups for cleanings and exams every 6 months.
